Canada's Next Marketing Professionals?

In my last post, I noted that the Concordia Students' Union appears to be unable to finish an election without a cry that all sorts of less-than-aboveboard shenanigans were taking place - either on the part of the Chief Electoral Officer, or the candidates, or the incumbent executive, or the Judicial Board, or the University administration, or even the alumni association. But we must give credit where credit is due. With the possible exception of UBC's Radical Beer Faction, I do believe that the budding student politicians at Concordia deserve an award for the most creative slate names. Here are the various slate names that have been chosen over the years:
