Valérie Plante transformed Montreal into a city where walking and cycling is far easier.

I agree - thank you for posting this, OP.

And I’m very impressed with Montrealers for making such great use of their bicycles. I imagine there are long-term health benefits that will result from this.

I hope her work inspires other mayors.

Looks like she is standing in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Place_des_Arts. So that is likely some kind of street art.

As a Montrealer, just letting people the next election is not looking good.

The current opposition party Ensemble Montreal wants to undo her work, increase the amount of AirBnb’s, and is made up of incredibly Zionist, right wing, anti vax, etc leaders. They are currently polling really good, even if they are commuting many violations with their sign placements.

I keep hearing that about Ensemble Montreal, but never saw any reporting on it. You got sources to share?

Interested in Transition Montreal actually, but haven’t done my due diligence yet on any of the parties.

Tbf they’re only polling like 20%, the large amount of undecided makes it like that, I suspect much of the undecided vote will go to projet montreal
