‘Over The Bese

Letter from the

He: students, and welcome to volume
22 of Over The Edge. As we have been for
the previous 21 volumes of existence, we
continue to be dedicated to providing UNBC
students and the greater community with
stories and information that is relevant and
interesting. Over the coming months, we will
be covering important events and topics,
especially the upcoming federal election on
October 19.

I would urge all students eligible to vote to

get informed on who the candidates in their
ridings are and what they and their parties
stand for. For our part, we will be running
information on parties and candidates, but
there is tons of other information floating
around the Internet. All Canadians should
have a say in choosing their government,
no matter what party they vote for. It is the
best feature of living in a democracy to be
able to hold the ruling powers accountable
for their actions. No matter if you vote
NDP, Conservative, or Liberal, you owe it to

yourself and your country to vote. If you

do not vote, the rest of us do not want to
hear you complaining about who is running
the country - you had your chance.

On behalf of myself, Production Coordinator
Hannah Rizun and Publisher Shawn
Caldera, I hope to see you around town,
campus, and at the voting booth.
