Mayoral debate, a report
Radio-Canada reports on the mayoral debate held Tuesday evening at the Grande Bibliothèque. Similarly from the Gazette.
Le Devoir headlines it that Martinez Ferrada claims she has been victimized by the “debate” around bike paths.

The headline writers are clearing having a field day with Martinez Ferrada’s “victim” remark, but then again, the mairesse du logement also seems like she would be the mairesse des gaffes.

She is correct that people can get awfully emotional (on both sides) at the mere discussion of bike paths. If a safety audit–with the goal of actually just improving safety, without taking away lanes–is all she really meant, then sure…
But, I do think using the word “victim” is a little melodramatic here. At least, I would find it that way if she used it in English.
As Kate has said many times, Ensemble has had this habit over the years of just sniping at Projet over every little thing and not proposing any alternatives. They may style themselves as the opposition but that doesn’t mean they have to be contrary on very position just for the sake of it. So, if some of that is coming around to bite them now I’m OK with that.

Her bike-path trolling makes her look like an unserious, retro candidate.
Her promo posters should be in black and white.
