Interesting to see Enseble actually bring some solutions to the table instead of sniping.

Another Ensemble story I was about to post concerns the party’s candidate for mayor of VSMPE, photographed outside the abandoned old Chinese hospital in the borough, who has ideas about housing, but would probably dismantle some bike paths.

Gariépy sounds like a decent guy who would probably be a decent borough mayor. But I wouldn’t exactly say he has ideas about housing. His idea is to improve relations with Quebec to unblock funding to turn the old hospital into housing, which has been the plan all along. I mean… sure? Of course? But that’s a bit like Soraya saying “I’ll be the mayor that gets along with everyone!” That’s not political vision, that’s just wishful thinking.

Exactly. What magic would he use on Quebec to get funding, when others have not been able to?

I also found that photo curious. Why pose in front of a problematic building if you don’t have concrete solutions to propose for it?

It’s not unlike the virtue signalling of Projet councillors saying “we would love to save ___ if only there was funding” and that gets in the paper too. I find it irritating no matter what politician does it, though.
