Top 15 Tweets from the SFSS Executive Debates

The Simon Fraser Student Society election is in full swing: candidates for the big six positions on the SFSS Board of Directors met in the West Mall Atrium on Burnaby campus earlier today to field questions from students and debate their credentials. Several candidates are running uncontested, and references to a lack of engagement ran throughout the debate. Here are 15 key tweets from the over-two-hours debate.
