Coderre: “not a vote on my personality”
Denis Coderre maintained Thursday that the election is not a referendum on his personality although to some extent of course it is. He was mayor for four years and his personality informed every decision he made. Voters have to decide whether they want that back.
A demonstration Thursday pressed all candidates to act on rent increases and housing issues.
Update: An Ensemble candidate in Outremont has been caught expressing doubts about climate change and racism but will be not be asked to step down.

Denis ‘Le Menace’ Coderre literally described his loss in 2017 as a referendum on his personality.
This is Coderre’s true colours: Plante/Projet didn’t win because they had better ideas, a proven track record, seemed less corrupt – it’s because he let Montreal down.
Unrelated but, is it me or was all Montreal media *exceedingly* delicate about his kid’s legal troubles?
Keep in mind, his kid was an adult when he committed fraud. He spent thousands of dollars on online chat services. Anyone else it would have been public information.

A climate-change denier might be a good thing for the Coderre brand.
When voters hear “climate change denial,” they know there will be parking spots for them and fewer bike path projects.
