Sauvé leaves Projet Montréal
Craig Sauvé has left Projet Montréal following the revelation of an accusation of sexual aggression made nine years ago. Denis Coderre is calling Valérie Plante’s choice not to mention the matter a “cover-up” but was she really obliged to publicize an accusation from before Sauvé joined Projet and which police felt did not warrant charges?

Coderre would argue that her saying no when asked (if the reporting is accurate and she would have been aware at the time of the question being asked) is the cover up part.

I understand that, but was it? The alleged incident had taken place years before and had been privately settled between two individuals. Had Plante talked about it, it would’ve been more on the order of gossip. It’s not part of her role to blab about personal difficulties faced by her party members unless they involve legal charges or other matters of public record.

Coderre is trying to dig up anything in a lost cause so that the media spins it in the last 24 hour news cycle before the saturday papers.
Thank God we won’t suffer him for 4 years…

Easy to have smears manufactured against opponents when you have at least eight interested corporations backing you.
