At that point, we have seen how few people attended candidate forums, and what miserably low percentage of eligible voters actually turned out. Normally we wait until then. This year, I am going to beat the post-election rush and complain about it now. Student apathy is one of the most popular topics here at Waterloo. We are famous for it.
Some people try to brush the accusations off as mere exaggeration.
Alas, it's all too true. The examples are already piling up, and the election campaign has only just begun. Pardon me - most of the campaigns have begun. The position was acclaimed - there was only one contender. Nothing is greater evidence of apathy than when there aren't even enough people interested in running for positions.
