BURNABY — An extremely fortunate first-year student, who is sure to quickly become the envy of all his classmates, reportedly was hand-picked by the illustrious Bank of Montreal to receive his very own credit card.

According to his story, Jason Seidelman, an 18 year-old SFU student was selected to receive a free credit card from BMO, an honour he is sure is extremely rare.

“I was just walking through the Blusson Hall on my way to a biology lecture when out of nowhere they approached me,” Seidelman explained while proudly showing off his new “gold” credit card. “They said that I was eligible for a special student credit card . . . I don’t know how they knew I was eligible, but I figured that they must’ve been on their radar for quite some time now.”

Seidelman told The Peak that he believed it was his strong work ethic and diligence that had attracted BMO to offer him this amazing opportunity and although he wasn’t sure, he said he wouldn’t be surprised if they had heard about his impressive “A-” grade on his latest Chemistry lab report.

“Anyway the woman from BMO took me to their secret booth and asked me if I’d be interested in getting their card,” Seidelman said bulging his eyes, “Of course I said yes, who would turn down an opportunity like that?”

Although statistics reveal that about 99 per cent of students offered BMO credit cards actually do turn the offer down while pretending they really have to get to their class, Seidelman’s feeling of uniqueness has not been diminished.

At press time however, Seidelman did experience a minor dip in his positive feelings when it came to his attention that his idiot friend Craig had also been head-hunted by BMO an hour after him in the same location.

A documentary that highlights the decades-long struggle for Indigenous sovereignty

Arts Peak Web -
By: Sia Garg, SFU Student I find that monumental political documentaries, such as Dancing Around the Table are a little tricky to navigate. Unlike standard narrative cinema, which demands us to evaluate artistic choices and dramatic pacing, watching a reenactment of searing political acts forces us to reckon with living history. So it was the case with director Maurice Bulbulian’s 1987 two-part documentary, which presents an intimate record of the First Ministers’ Conferences on Indigenous Constitutional Matters between 1983 and 1987. On Saturday, September 26, from 2:00–5:00 p.m., MONOVA: Museum of North Vancouver is hosting a screening of both parts of this vital National Film Board of Canada (NFB) work. For anyone seeking to understand the ongoing tensions surrounding Indigenous sovereignty, legal self-government, and federal power...
