News items about impending elections
Denis Coderre has applied to compete for leadership of the Quebec Liberal party, and also threatens to sue Revenu Québec for revealing details of his tax woes.
It’s a long haul for the candidates. The new PLQ leader will only be announced on June 14. Three others have declared an interest so far.
Westmount mayor Christina Smith joins the growing list of Quebec mayors declining to seek re‑election this fall.

You can see Denis Coderre’s legacy Montreal public art project’s 27 granite stumps if you keep your eyes open and know what to look for, but one thing you never see is anyone enjoying their aesthetic qualities or even just sitting on them bc the top of the stump is slanted, not level, presumably to prevent people from sitting on them.
These stumps cost taxpayers 3.45 million dollars. Let’s do the math! So, for 27 stumps, each stump cost taxpayers $127.7 thousand dollars. Always surprised that for that price they aren’t gold plated or diamond-encrusted.

To be fair I actually do like them, but I don’t 127.7K apiece like them.
