Montreal Municipal Elections: 2025

[August1991]

We have these choices:

Left A: Rabourin

Left B: Sauve

Sorta Left: Soraya (Her face is plastered everywhere like Melanie Jolie was.)

====

Leftists claim that a single, centralised way of doing things will save money, make things cheaper.

Yet Leftists are first to disagree, divide, argue.

 

 

[August1991]

Since Rabourin and Sauve are splitting the vote, I predict Soraya will be the next mayor.

BTW: Soraya was once a federal Liberal cabinet minister.

In Montreal, we have about 100 conseillers (aldermen) and each one earns about $70,000.

And each conseiller has a vote to change the zoning rules.

Gilbert Thibodeau is also running for mayor with his party Action Montreal. He is to the right of Soraya, who I see as also right-leaning albeit less so.

If either left party would decide to keep Camilien-Houde open, this would be to their great advantage.

As is, I agree Soraya has an edge.

Thibodeau has zero chance. For many reasons, large urban elections vote "left".

Rabourin and Sauve divided the vote.

Soraya Ferreda, a federal Liberal, will be Montreal's next mayor.

A major transit strike including on election day does not bode well for the incumbent party.

In Quebec, we vote on Sundays. Our municipal election date is Sun 2 Nov.

In Montreal, I predict "Soraya" (the federal Liberal) will be Montreal's next mayor.

Rabouin/Sauve divided the vote. There was no Mamdani.

Well, I’ll say one thing for Jolie. She has a lovely face. I was surprised she has stayed on in federal politics.

With Soraya in, and anti-cyclists in her circle, will the orange cones be quickly replaced by pro-bike activist protesters?

Personne ne parle de Thibodeau.

IMHO this is the Reagan/Trump story in this election.

I fear that many people voted in Montreal for Soraya - for exactly that reason.

I voted on Sunday. My neighbour's four year old voted also. Twice!
