I got a what I assume was a “dark advert” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_advertising) the other day browsing a site completely unrelated to anything Montreal.
It stated in bold caps “LA DECISION DE VALERIE PLANTE: OSHEAGA, C’EST FINI”. Above it a photo of festival-goers having fun, below it a photo of Valerie Plante with her arms folded.
I don’t know who’s behind these adverts, but if I’m seeing them I’ll bet lots of other people are, and although based on misinformation I don’t see how some people won’t be swayed by them.
It’s going to be a depressing election cycle…

Valerie took away my ice cream, cancelled summer and made it snow. She’s a mean mean meanie.

I heard Terry DiMonte declare on the radio that “summer was cancelled” because the Grand Prix won’t be coming to Montreal this year. I turned off the radio because I was driving my kids to school and they asked me “why did that man say summer is cancelled?”, so I couldn’t hear what he said next. But I know that he often points the finger at the mayor for other things (“why are bike paths cleared of snow before sidewalks, Mme mayor?” kind of stuff). He is one of the reasons I now avoid listening to CHOM in the morning. It’s just tiring to listen to.

By cancelling Osheaga, Valerie Plante has basically thrown away the drunk-teens-from-Ottawa vote.
