Mayoralty candidates: some notes
Felix-Antoine Joli-Coeur, who has made noises about running for mayor, has already thrown in the towel.
This leaves Plante, Coderre and Gilbert Thibodeau, the man who intends to “correct the error” of the city sometimes communicating information in English, who refers to Plante as a “fille”, and who – going by his supporters, who tend to tweet in ALL CAPS – may actually pull some of the more fringey voters away from Coderre.
(Again, I’d bet that some of the people shouting things like “L’HOMME, LE MONTRÉALAIS QUI FAIT PEUR AUX MÉDIAS, À CODERRE ET À PLANTE !!!” don’t even live in the city.)

Sounds like a recipe for record low turnout.

It’ll never be a high turnout. But that’s what makes it unpredictable. There will be a lot of shouting on social media, but that doesn’t necessarily correlate to the views of active eligible voters.
