Miranda outburst to be condemned
Anjou mayor Luis Miranda’s outburst at a teenager earlier this month is not being allowed to fade away. City council plans to condemn it this week, and demand a personal apology from Miranda to Hocine Ouendi and his family.
I don’t think Mayor Plante can do anything beyond this. Miranda does not belong to Projet, so she can’t use party discipline on him. But she does have this incident in her back pocket for the next round of municipal elections.
Update: On Monday, city council adopted a motion to encourage youth involvement in local politics, a deliberate gesture against Miranda’s tirade.

She can shame him relentlessly, which is what she’s doing, and he deserves it.
I think the only thing more shocking than Miranda’s conduct is the fact that, at least according to internet comments, there are actually a bunch of people who support him over the issue, either because they hate kids, they hate Black people, or both.

Considering Plante’s own immunity to shame (Montgomery, defunding the cops, etc) I have doubts that this is anything more than grandstanding.
