In the third debate this week, Executive candidates for the 2015 Simon Fraser Student Society (SFSS) General Elections battled it out at SFU’s Harbour Centre campus. There were so many amazing moments, we couldn’t just settle for 10! So, here are the 24 most noteworthy moments from the online debate conversation.

1. When we considered starting a drinking game with all of the buzzwords.

2. When VP Student Life candidate Deepak Sharma didn’t hesitate to start throwing shade.

3. And when he got called out for it.

4. When the VP External Relations candidates all treated each other with respect and support.

5. And ended up seeming inseparable — both as friends and candidates.

6. They didn’t help themselves to fix it.

7. When VP External Relations candidate Karan Thukral removed his hoodie to reveal a shirt with student demands written all over it. Literally.

8. When current SFSS President Chardaye Bueckert just kept talking about the tax workshop.

9. When #tacotalk was surely trending somewhere, somehow.

10. When we looked deeper into VP Student Services candidate Darwin Binesh’s past.

11. When VP Finance Candidate Karan Thakur expressed his distaste for timesheets.

12. When we realised the Presidential debate was bound to get heated.

13. When the greatest hashtag of all time emerged alongside this charming quote.

14. When everyone in the room felt those warm fuzzies.

15. When a young girl brought us back to what it was all about.

16. When things got heavy.

17. And Presidential candidate Johnny Aether turned things back around.

18. Then stole the audience’s hearts with a tale of his personal struggles.

19. When, five hours in, the candidates led the audience in an impromptu dance party.

20. When Bueckert missed the tax clinic.

21. When Dion Chong asked a questions and it became clear that everyone loves him.

22. When SFU royalty arrived.
