January 17th: Debate photos and commentary.

One of the things people most frequently mention about UBC Insiders is that the posts are often wordy, and lacking in sass. This should remediate both of those.

photos and comments behind the cut (warning, there’s lots!)


Ubyssey staff Brandon Adams and Jesse Ferreras, huddling before the debates start. Or exchanging sweet nothings. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Michael Duncan secretly wishes that the Presidential election was, in fact, a big hair competition.

confidential to DP: telling girls about the size of your hydrant is a bad idea.

Che Allison’s Head of Police forcibly ejects AUS President Stephanie Ryan.
I support the intention and the action and hope to see Stephanie more frequently bodily removed from things.

Mike hones his “monkey see, monkey do” skills as Erin promises to fight the War on Fun.

There was a point being made here, but I’ve forgotten it. Also, it’s not a very good photo. I’m sorry.

Maayan asks a question, as Shawn from Eat Cake erroneously thinks that he looks better in maroon.

Brittany promised violence upon my person if I said anything mean about her, and I figure she’d be at least as thorough at that as she was as VPF…

Brendon watches the debates as Jeff watches us. Because Jeff is watching us all.

Paging Dr. Freud!

I don’t want his lucky charms.

Chris Diplock, throwing down fresh rhymes and phat beats during the VPF debate.

Sarah Naiman watches the debates while enjoying a “baby roll”, one of the items on the Honor Roll’s secret menu. It’s made out of babies.

Enraged at being caught in the act of eating a baby, Sarah goes after the wrong member of the media. Luckily, Brandon survived.

Tough questions. Reasonably priced drinks. What more could you want in a debate?

Stef Ratjen, VPX candidate that Jesse Ferreras has neatly disassembled.

Some of the Senate candidates look away as Colin Simkus tries to serenade the moderator. Alex Lougheed is definitely taking mental notes.

Being on the elections committee Listening to would-be senators read their resumes would also drive me to drinking. I hope Tariq comes out of this with an intact liver.
