OAA Presidential Debate Thread

[Eric Roussin]

At this year's OAA Annual General Meeting on May 4th there will be an election for the position of OAA President. Both Joey and I have indicated we will be running. Because there isn't really any time for debate during meeting, I think it would be helpful for OAA members to learn at least something about the candidates' plans prior to casting their votes. For this reason, I'm encouraging OAA members to post any questions they may have for Joey, I, or both of us in this thread.

First I can confirm that I don't have any drastic changes planned for the next two years, but I will continue to do the following:

• encourage a full and diverse competition schedule for Ontario pullers
  
• be open to discussing new ideas
  
• be responsive in all communications
  
• get information out to pullers in a timely basis
  
• tally all of the point standings, keep track of incentives, etc.
  

So if you have any questions to ask, please use the next few days to do so.

I got a question. Eric and Joey are each carrying some apples. If Eric gave Joey 1 apple then the two men would each have the same amount of apples. Conversly if Joey gave Eric 2 apples Eric would have 3 times the number of apples that Joey would have had. So how many are each of the men holding?

I'm going out on lim and I'm saying Eirc is holding all the apples.
Joey has non.

[Fayez Moutassem]

Eric has 7 apples
Joey has 5 apples

I like the fact that Eric has laid out his goals and ideas for all to see. I like transparency. I also like the fact that he leaves anything open to debate in a public forum like this.

Well done Mr. President, shows confidence, openness, fairness and a willingness to please your voters. These are some of the things that make you excel at your job.
