Election notes

Full lists of Montreal election results are available on most platforms – here’s CTV’s and Radio‑Canada’s. A few results that caught my eye:

Balarama Holness received 7.3% of the mayoral vote, and his Mouvement Montréal won no seats.

Ten Eleven out of the city’s 19 boroughs were won by Projet Montréal mayors and seven six by Ensemble. Anjou and Lasalle were won by borough-level parties. (Emendments since the announcement that Lionel Perez actually lost CDN-NDG.)

Neither Giuliana Fumagalli nor Sue Montgomery got close to winning back their mayoral seats. Laurence Lavigne Lalonde – previously a councillor in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve – is now mayor of VSMPE. Ensemble’s Lionel Perez is leading as mayor of CDN-NDG with 37.71% of the votes, but Projet’s Gracia Kasoki Katahwa is close at 36.92%, and there may be recounts.

Also facing possible recounts are Outremont, where incumbent mayor Philippe Tomlinson (49.87%) is trailing Ensemble’s Laurent Desbois (50.13%) and RDP-PAT where the Projet mayor is at 48.62% against Ensemble’s 46.26%.

Roaring back into office for Projet are Ahuntsic-Cartierville’s Émilie Thuillier, Rosemont’s François Limoges, the Plateau’s Luc Rabouin and Sud-Ouest’s Benoit Dorais. Projet’s Will Prosper was not able to make a dent in Montreal North, where Ensemble’s Christine Black won with 63.8% of the vote.

Equally roaring back for Ensemble are St‑Laurent’s perennial Alan de Sousa, Pierrefonds-Roxboro’s Jim Beis, and St‑Léonard’s Michel Bissonnet.

And Craig Sauvé was re-elected in the Saint-Henri-Est – Petite-Bourgogne – Pointe-Saint-Charles – Griffintown section of Sud-Ouest, despite having left the caucus shortly before voting day.
