	Ecclectica - Do Brandon University students really have a choice?
		As I have become involved with the events and procedures in preparation for the Brandon University Students' Union CFS referendum, set for September 25 and 26th, I have really begun to question whether or not the students at BU actually have a 'choice' at all.
		If the Federation had any intention of taking a genuine interest in our school, they would have known that Manitoba is a small enough political arena for us to speak directly with our MLAs and a protest is not necessary or effective.
		Although it is not possible to brand all students with a single political view, the Canadian Federation of students attempts to do so by taking a forward position on controversial issues that not all students agree upon.

	Canadian Conservative Forum - Requested Essay
		It is admirable that students are concerned about the future of post-secondary education in Canada, however it is unfortunate that the demands imposed on Canadians by CFS are nothing more than shortsighted repairs.
		Instead, by demanding that the federal government get more involved, CFS is giving more power to the negative institution that has reduced post-secondary education to the state it is in today.
		Most Canadians are generous enough to provide up front funding to students in the form of loans knowing that eventually when the student graduates and gains employment this gift will be repaid to the economy.
