Orange you glad it's election season?
At a heated UTSU election forum Wednesday evening at the Bahen Centre, the incumbent slate Stronger Together and challengers running under Change U of T faced off. Both sides had to fend off criticisms of past performances of slate members. The debate became chaotic at times, with moderator Dave Meslin stepping in late to tell students to keep their questions short and to refrain from personal attacks. Current VP external Hadia Ahktar made multiple accusations, including a charge of negligence against Steve Masse, the presidential candidate for Change. Change candidates and supporters, sporting orange, called for "reality-based questions." Find out what else went down in Monday's issue.
