Pre-Game Show: Random streeters

Jessica MacDonald and Graham Cwinn, two theatre students at the University of Ottawa have decided not to vote. I randomly went to see them to ask them if they voted and they reluctantly answered. Then I said: "Oh no, don't worry. I'm not a candidate." To which they laughed.

For MacDonald,
"it is a conscious decision. Initially, I intended to vote, then it was lazyness, now it's intention. I was always involved in High School, I was on the student council, I spent long hours after school, and there was a big award at graduaction. I lost. Ever since, I've stayed out of student involvement. So basically out of spite."
For Cwinn, the reasons are a bit different:
"It's too late in the game to be able to follow what is going on. I don't know what is going on and I don't want to vote randomly."
Do they not read the campus papers? "No."

The will visit this blog however.

More streeters to come.

Please be respectful of students who were generous enough with their time to offer us interviews.

And settle personal scores on your own time.
