Comments on: Alan Warner on Fair Trade to Kyle Steele http://aes.fishandwhistle.net/2009/04/alan-warner-on-fair-trade-to-kyle-steele/ home of the aes and so at acadia university Thu, 09 Sep 2010 01:20:09 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: Megan http://aes.fishandwhistle.net/2009/04/alan-warner-on-fair-trade-to-kyle-steele/#comment-104 Megan Sun, 12 Apr 2009 15:47:33 +0000 http://aes.fishandwhistle.net/?p=281#comment-104 Dr Warner, Thank you for taking the time to inform us on this matter. I am writing because I would like to apologize. I apologize that our student body remains apathetic on issues surrounding social welfare. I apologize that the loudest voices in the student body lack grace in accepting criticism or input. I apologize that we have come to study at Acadia only to ignore and undermine those we came here to learn from. My hope on this issue is that the defensively harsh response from the ASU will wear off as they adjust to the idea that this decision is not actually welcomed by 90% of the student body. As was so clearly stated by your compassionate fan, it seems as though the ASU, or rather, student body has the final say in any changes that take place in the SUB. And so I apologize for not having exercised my rights as a student. I did not seek out the survey to become part of the statistic nor did I seek out any student decision making position, I am therefore as much to blame as our student leaders. I have learned a lot from being part of the Wolfville community but clearly I have more to learn as I have not attempted to see that the same community forms on the Acadia campus. Please accept my sincere apologies, Megan Lickley Dr Warner,

And just because Tim Hortons is the only coffee shop that many people go to and know about, doesn't mean that it is good coffee. In fact, Tim Hortons' coffee is disgusting watered-down garbage, and their food is shipped to the store. If you are ok with substandard food quality and crappy coffee, then I feel sorry for you, random angry poster.

Also YOU do not know what you are talking about, the ASU did look at all alternatives and did provide open venues for students to voice their concerns. WE WANT TIM HORTONS AND I DON'T CARE IF IT IS ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY OR NOT. Mr Warner,
