Progressive Student Advocates face off against Yours Truly Wade Tomko EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Ω In case you hadn’t noticed, the last couple of weeks on campus have really started to heat up with election fervour. The incumbent slate on campus, Progressive Student Advocates (PSA) is up against a new slate, Yours Truly. Last week, the slates, as well as independent candidates,

had a chance to answer questions from both the electoral committee as well as TRUSU members in the Lecture Hall. Though PSA has experience over Yours Truly, as well as several successful campaigns under their belts, Yours Truly presidential candidate Gagandeep Singh believes reinforcing trust between the union and its members will lead his slate to succeed. “We need to reinforce trust in the students’ union and not just around the time of the election,” Singh said at the

executive representative candidates forum on March 9. “We need to build that trust every day and we need to build that trust fast.” While Singh touted his slate’s honesty and commitment to TRUSU members, current president Tatiana Gilbert spoke of her own commitment to the TRU community and how her slate has led by example in the last year.
