- If by any fate of bad luck you do in fact become a part of the Ontario Student Trustees Association, do not take even a sliver of their discrimination, their bigotry, their "policies" stand up to every single person, stand up to the Board of Directors, stand up to the lawyers

- They have no power against you, you are a student and the entire reason for it's existence. You have the upperhand.
