Projet promises new sports sites
Projet is promising to transform at least 15 vacant lots into sports fields. It’s a play for the youth vote – but is there a youth vote?

Arguably a play for the parents-of-youth vote.

The idea that everyone is completely selfish and only votes for their own advantages… is false.
Anyone who supports an increase in outdoor activities or community events can support this,whether they themselves will use these facilities or not.
Other people being healthy and happy… can motivate people to support something.
Humans are not made exclusively of greed.

Can some of them have some greenery? Kate shared a recent article that outlines how green space has been steadily shrinking in various boroughs. It’d be nice to have some trees surrounding that soccer field, at the very least.

I don’t see where it says anything about the youth vote but there is this, in line with what Blork says:
“Every time I go to doors, young families, they tell me that we don’t have enough space for the youth to play basketball, soccer,” said Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce mayoral candidate Gracia Kasoki Katahwa.

It was me, not the original journalist, surmising this was about the youth vote, because it’s been in the air that candidates are concerned to get the youth vote out.
Any candidate who can activate any demographically definable group of voters in the municipal election is playing a face card, given how few people actually vote at this level.
