0:09 Good afternoon Ryersonians. I'm Angela McLean. 0:12 And I'm Julia Lloyd. This is Rye report for December 1. We're bringing you the top stories of the Week. 0:18 This week on the show, we're talking about an RSU motion to eliminate slates, Michelle Obama's visit to Toronto, and a new name for campus based magazine. This and more coming up. 0:28 The Ryerson Student Union held its annual general meeting Wednesday night. A motion was brought forward to remove slaves from the campus selection. That request was not appropriated for the general meaning. Nicole Dionessio to the chair of the meeting. So their ideas are there, but how it was proposed was not in the right manner. Dionessio mentioned the issue is slate should have been dealt with as a bylaw amendment. Lauren Emerson, who proposed a slate to be banned from the elections, said she was stunned that the motion was regarded as a bylaw amendment. It was not discussed in detail at the AGM. 1:03 So the motion that I put forward essentially is to eliminate slates from all future RSU elections. This would be a pilot see how it goes. The idea behind slates is that you can run with people that have similar political and social and whatever kind of ideologies. And the idea with that being that you'd like similar goals, you're coming as a team, and hopefully do well. 1:25 The president of the RSU Suzanne Nyaga. Are you at the motions impact how the RSU election works, and so it should have been proposed as a bylaw amendment. 1:35 If you heard some extra noise around Ryerson this week, it was because a special VIP was in town. Former US First Lady Michelle Obama spoke at the MAC on Tuesday about the economics of equality. Obama had this to say about what young leaders need to succeed. 1:50 Well, there's nothing more important to a young leader. Since we're talking to the leaders in this room to having a great education and having good health. Yes, because you can't do anything for anyone if you aren't in a place of just sort of physical power in yourself, and feeling good and feeling powerful and eating right and being able to move that gives you confidence. 2:14 The interview was conducted by Breanna Trail, a Ryerson grad and the president of the Economic Club of Canada. She says hosting the event. And Ryerson made it even more special. 2:23 What a wonderful way that the world works and the universe works. And it was just it was the added icing on the cake. I gotta say, because Ryerson truly is an institution that believes in diversity at its very core of its being on equality. And so in order to have that message, be said to those young girls on that campus is everything to me. It's just everything coming full circle. 2:55 Some lucky Ryerson students were able to attend the event, and several said it was a life changing experience. 3:01 Ryerson's feminist magazine has a new name. McClung now goes by the name and Minowe magazine. It's an Ojibwa word that means they speak well said the magazine's equity director. The name has changed after the magazine's masthead, learned about Nellie McClung's support of eugenics. The equity director so the decision to rename the magazine was about deciding not to celebrate women who have harmed others. They said they now want to pay tribute to an amazing indigenous leader. The first ever print edition of Minowe magazine will be on the stands in January. 3:35 Our newsmaker of the week is internationally famed DJ Steve Aoki, you may know him for his hit collaborations with artists like Louis Tomlinson, and most recently, Lauren Heredy of Fifth Harmony. Or perhaps you've seen one of his live shows where Aoki loves to do a signature cake toss into the front row. Aoki recently visited the Toronto Eaton center to launch his new Dim Mak fashion line. It's exclusively carried by Saks Fifth Avenue in Canada. At the event he chatted with he talks Chloe Wild about the collection and much more. 4:05 Yeah, I mean, whatever is something used happening and was a little bit nervous, you know, because I wanted to do well, I want to be successful. And I want to represent you as well. Because to me, it's like when you rock democ you're part of our club, you're part of our crew. 4:18 And when people are rocking your stuff, what do you hope they feel when they throw on a democracy as they go out in the world? What does that mean? Like what do you want them to feel when they rock it? 4:26 Yeah, it's like, I'll tell you like when when, about 10 years ago when my favorite brands is this brand called suevey. Back in the day I said wear the jeans all the time. And whenever I saw someone wearing suevey Jean, and they see the little logos on the right here. They always have a logo right down here. I'm like yo is like that's that's what I wear. Like you're part of the same team or part of the club. It's like very exclusive club. So that's how I see this slide because it's so exclusive and it's so it's only sold in in a few places and it's very you have to know about it to get there. Kinda like when I like the raves back in the day where you have to find the fly and talk to this person to find out about this exclusive rave. And then you get there you're like alright these are my people, like no one really knows about except for us. So it kind of has that feeling and vibe. And that's the kind of interpretation I want with the one 5:18 And why was Toronto, one of those cities that you wanted to have that exclusivity? 5:22 Because Toronto is one of the best cities in the whole world. Honestly, you guys are awesome. I've been coming out here playing shows here for over 10 years and by far the most educated electronic crowd. yYu know, like, whenever I drop a new song, they already know it, and this is back in the day. And it's important to talk to people that you know, it's like I'm talking to people that understand fashion already understand the culture. You know, when I think about fashion, I think about music, I think about lifestyle, I think about the friends I meet and the people I hang out with. And it's just an extension of that, honestly. 5:59 He also talks about how the Dim Mak brand represents community, something that he sees in his Toronto fan base. 6:07 A lot of our team, we all have Dim Mak tattoos, we really believe in his vision, we believe in this community. And and I definitely out my community here with you guys that came out here tonight. So once again, you guys are part of this community. Thank you guys for coming out. 6:22 That's it for today. This is Julia Lloyd. 6:24 And I'm Angela McLean. You've been listening to the Rye Report. Thanks for a great semester. Good luck on your exams Ryersonians.
