Those views have no voice on campus in 2019? Really?

And if we're talking off-campus, doesn't the CBC cover all those subjects?

The problem with students associations is they collect money from all students, but only a small minority of students vote in the elections (around 10%). So student unions are basically a way for a few dozen students and their pals to play at being adult politicians, broadcasters, journalists, etc. I know - I used to be one of them.
