Anyone know whats up with La Presse, they have been at this for months.
Mario Girard has taken it upon himself to be the official opposition in almost every column. Then this piece today.https://www.lapresse.ca/debats/opinions/2020-09-05/attention-ideologues-au-travail.php
Can anyone tell me what this writer’s thesis is …help me.

28% is not an overwhelming majority. Please don’t perpetuate skewed headlines like this.

I heard the post being read in an ironic tone of voice, with possibly even rolling eyes.

23% support is certainly better than I’ll ever command on a survey for mayor of Montreal, but not great for a well-known incumbent mayor.
She’ll still win, unless maybe Coderre jumps back into it or some other star does, but control of the council could be lost, leading to trouble in governing.

Plante has a huge hill to climb – only 41% of those who voted for her last time would do so again. This isn’t a huge surprise – Projet won in part as a protest vote against Coderre and the old style of politics He represented, and the problems facing Montreal will take decades to sort out, certainly not one mayoral term. At what point does Projet decide their last best shot to make lasting change (eg once the REV is built it will be here to stay) will be to aggressively govern for another year, rather than ease off the gas and try to squeak out another victory?
Given these polls and the general attitude about the city these days, it would surprise me if Coderre were the only well-known personality to run against Plante.

That baseball stadium and its giant parking lot are looking pretty enticing right about now.
What a great way to watch other people get in shape!
