Ensemble names Plateau candidate
Ensemble has presented its candidate for the borough mayoralty of Plateau borough in the October 6 byelection. La Presse says Pierre Szaraz started his speech with “Avez-vous eu de la misère à vous stationner ?” with more to say on cars. We can see where this is going.
Inevitably, this byelection will be seen as a midterm assessment of Projet vs. the more populist aspirations of Ensemble.

Depressing…. He said stores are closing because of high taxes, nothing about abusive commercial rent increases. I’m sure taxes are part of the problem, but it’s far from the only one. If you can’t understand the problem, you can’t find a proper solution.

…and this is why Valérie is back for a second term : There is no real political opposition.

Cars vs People, we might be at a point of rupture.
The personification of the automobile might be ending.
“Avez-vous eu de la misère a vous stationer” as your political introduction to your community. This might be the bridge too far.
