Here are today’s random election facts:

• Candidates are not allowed to use blogs to disseminate their views because “discussions [on a blog] are constantly changing,” according to Mr. Simpson, the Chief Returning Officer.
• ClubLaurier is hosting the online election forums this year, even though hell hasn’t yet frozen over.
• Some people don’t like the strict election rules enforced by Mr. Simpson. Others don’t like the school.
• Borrelli, who graduated last year, is still bitter and immensely funny. “If you win, always remember that you’re just a duly elected director of a second-rate student union in one of the most depressing cities in southern Ontario,” he writes.
• All three presidential candidates were once dons.
• If all referenda questions pass, some Laurier students will have their fees increased by $203 next year.
