Letter: a call to abandon ship

By Dave Snow

Editor, the Gauntlet


The Gauntlet’s article [“Grad students not being heard,” Sept. 11, Sarelle Azuelos, Gauntlet] about the Graduate Students Association trying to initiate a referendum to leave the Canadian Federation of Students is great news. When I found out that the petition was going around, I got my name on the list and volunteered to help. While the CFS has a mixed reputation across the country, in Alberta, the GSA is alone and the CFS is toxic. The Students’ Unions at the University of Calgary, the University of Alberta and the University of Lethbridge are not members of the CFS. The GSAs at the U of L and the U of A are not members CFS. It’s high time we get out and save $40,000 a year.
