A threat by Air Canada flight attendants to strike has the federal government considering intervening in the labour dispute. The flight attendants have rejected a deal made between the union and the airline. They plan to go on strike as early as Thursday.

She may be a rookie on the Concordia political scene but it’s not like Katie Brioux is new to the trade.

She is a fourth year specialization in Communications and Graphics Editor at the Concordian Newspaper.

She will try and take her art and communications skills to be the next Arts and Science Vice President of Communications and Promotions.

Alexis Suzuki is a third-year Concordia student. She’s running for the position of VP Communications and Promotions in the ASFA by-election.

“I’m really excited about the creativity this position could offer and just interacting with the students on a really personal level.” 

Alexis has a variety of interests she’d like to bring to the ASFA executive. She’s studying English, Art History and Studio Art. She’s also the VP External for Volunteers in Action.

Paul Jerajian has only been at Concordia for a year but that hasn’t deterred him from student politics.

Originally from Ville Saint Laurent in Montreal North, Paul’s number one priority is stopping the tuition hikes.

He plans to represent Arts and Science students in that fight as Vice President of External Affairs and Sustainability.

He says that his educational background makes him the ideal candidate to speak up in favour of a tuition freeze.
