PUBLIC MARKS from McDonna with tags upei & ""Ryan Gallant"

In their recent edition, UPEI Student newspaper The Cadre published the budget for the Student Union. Surprise surprise we see that Ryan Gallant, the SU President and local Liberal party hack has been throwing students' money around like you wouldn't believe. Wasting thousands of our dollars on travel--incidentally, his pal Neal Gillis had posted on his blog that Ryan was off on a drinking "bender" in Calgary for 8 days over Spring break. On top of this, Gallant is paid a salary for 12 months of the year to be the Student Union president. For a guy who does nothing but stroke his ego for 8 months of the year, I find it offensive that I'm paying him throughout the summer months in addition to the school year. What prompted the Cadre to publish this information? An act of retaliation. Gallant and his SU cronies have made a rather public attempt to silence the Cadre and to keep the newspaper under their thumb. I stand by the Cadre in their attempt to become independant of the SU.
