Élections Montréal 2013
Si aujourd'hui il y avait une élection municipale, pour quel candidat voteriez-vous ou seriez-vous tenté de voter pour vous représenter?
If an election were held today, for which mayoral candidate would you vote for, or would be likely to vote for? |
Si je pouvais voter aux élections montréalaise, j'opterais pour Richard Bergeron. Justement, hier, à la Première Chaîne, Michel C. Auger l'a interviewé.
http://www.radio-canada.ca/emissions...ate=2013/08/20 Au début, Bergeron se réjouit des projets de tours à condos autour du Centre Bell. Je suis parfaitement en accord avec ce qu'il dit là-dessus et j'espère que ça pourra changer la perception exagérée que certains ont de lui. Plus tard, il dit ceci: Quote:
Du côté de Denis Coderre, je trouve qu'il n'a pas vraiment d'orientations et surtout que le nombre d'anciens politiciens d'Union Montréal qui se joignent à lui fait assez peur. Marcel Côté est probablement le pire des candidats principaux. Il est le candidat du milieu des affaires, rien de plus. Il manque franchement de jugement. Des déclarations comme « la mafia est plus démocratique que les organisations étudiantes. [...] c'est vrai... » et « vendre l'électricité au prix qu'on se la vend pour se chauffer [...] c'est un crime contre l'humanité, mais c'est pas reconnu au Québec » suffisent selon moi à le disqualifier en tant que maire potentiel. Mélanie Joly est un peu comme Coderre: elle ne semble pas avoir grand chose à proposer. Au moins, c'est son seul point en commun avec lui. |
Après tout la corruption parmi les fonctionnaires municipaux, je trouve la possibilité d'une hausse des taxes foncières est insultant. Ils doivent trouver un moyen de faire avec ce qu'ils ont. (Je suis heureux de ne pas être contribuable montréalais)

Par contre, je ne suis pas prêt à lui disqualifier, tout comme Marcel Côté. Je suis indécis entre les deux. Comme quelqu'un qui aime les villes, Bergeron est le candidat le plus intéressant. Mais je suis aussi ouvert à un candidat qui gère la ville comme une entreprise (Côté?). Denis Coderre est simplement Union Montréal 2.0, à mon avis. Il n'a fait rien à date pour me convaicre. Mélanie Joly semble de ne pas avoir beaucoup d'idées intéressantes non plus. Elle semble vouloir que les nouveaux développements résidentiels soit "d'échelle humaine" (les projets actuels sont trop denses et cela fait fuir les familles apparemment). |
If I decide to take part in the next useless election again, my vote will be for Melanie Joly. She won't win. She's just looking for a career boost or to prove a point to some person, but she looks like decent gal.
As for these other guys, seriously, fuck these guys. Following Montreal politics seems to me like following season 4 of The Wire; you know everybody's a fraud, but don't matter to you, you're not invited to the party. VIPs only. |
When you walk through the garden, you gotta watch your back
Well, I beg your pardon, walk the straight and narrow track If you walk with Jesus, he's gonna save your soul You gotta keep the Devil way down in the hole |
No sign of the witch Harel?
http://images.lpcdn.ca/641x427/20121...rti-vision.jpg laPresse Over the years, I have shuddered at the thought of her as Mayor of Montreal. |
She collapsed. Er I mean she resigned. Threw in the towel. Couldn't take the heat no more.
She quit. In favour of some swell new saviour and prophecy maker, and no he ain't no carpenter. His name is Côté, Marcel Côté. Anyway that's what they say his name is. For all we know he could be a Mulroneyite - or worst, he could be Mulroney himself. Which Mulroney? Don't care as long as it ain't that phony-ass Ben. Graduated from laval in History and Law, my ass you did. Anyways, It's a coalition between Côté's right and Harel's left. Just watch how well that's gonna fly when fat-ass Coderre (the french Rob!) will have his victorious hand raised by the referee Rizutto. In brief, Côté is uncharismatic. Old. Boring. Just like the people who vote in these sham elections. But he loves you. That's what I been told anyway. Anyways, fuck that guy. |
Clay Davis would have probably been better than Tremblay.
|
As bad as Brian Mulroney was for Canada (and he was plenty bad; well, on corruption and national unity for two, for which the guy was an unmitigated disaster), he is a trillion-fold more impressive than his vacuous annoying son, the Bowel Movement.

I concur with you for the rest.Moreover, I would add Justin Trudeau into the Bowel Movement club. |
Richard Bergeron.
It's time to let an actual urban planner run things. Urban scientists study cities their whole lives and know the inner workings of cities better than anyone else. Leaky faucet? Call a plumber. Tooth ache? Call a dentist. Question about electromagnetism? Ask a physicist. Need electrical work? Call an electrician. Need help solving a math problem? Ask a mathematician. Need to fix a city? Ask an urban planner. Let's vote in Richard Bergeron. |

Not to be undone, Mélanie Joly has also thrown her support to bring back the Expos. She was quoted: "I grew up watching basketball, I miss the game so much"
|
I think that means that pretty much all the candidates are in favour of baseball's return.
Coderre wore an Expos hat in parliament, Bergeron includes a baseball stadium in his plans for the Peel Bassin, and now Côte and Joly are coming out in favour of the idea. I'm very happy, because Tremblay never seemed to care too much that the team left. |
BTW, I have no idea if Mélanie Joly supports a return... it was just an attempt to make a joke :)
|
if you ask me, a montrealer would have to be crazy not to vote for bergeron.

I noticed in the Projet Montréal platform:

I have no idea what extending the yellow lign to that location will accomplish. It's not exactly a trek from the current McGill green line location.
|
^The point is to help relieve the green line, which is for all intents and purposes far beyond capacity at rush hour.
