A Union that Works for All

Daniel Thorp

For President

Platform Priorities

Advocacy Power

Build a permanent advocacy engine inside UOSU, with a presence at Queen's Park, Parliament Hill, and City Hall.

Financial Reform

Implement a formal investment policy, publish quarterly transparency reports, and ensure every fee is spent as students voted.

Housing & Transit

Push for affordable housing near campus and renegotiate the U-Pass to lower one of the most expensive student transit passes in Canada.

Deliver the Student Pub

Students have paid $500,000 into the pub levy. Time to use the existing Déjà-Vu space and finally deliver what students voted for.

Governance Reform

End closed-door decision-making, improve procedural fairness and recourse, and hold regular open forums.

End Isolationism

Explore affiliation with OUSA and CASA so uOttawa students can fight alongside other Canadian students, not alone.

Voting opens March 2, 2026 and closes March 6, 2026.

Why I'm Running

I'm running because students deserve a union that actually works.

Right now, too many students pay fees to a union that too often struggles just to function.

Promises are made. Projects stall. Information is hidden. Money is wasted. And students are left paying more while getting less.

This is not about one bad decision. It is a pattern.

A student union that has lost focus on delivering results for students.

I'm running to change that.

To fix what is broken.

To make the union transparent, accountable, and focused on the priorities students actually care about.

To build a union that works for all students, not just the insiders.

It's time for a change.
