François Lambert eyes the mayoralty
François Lambert – yeah, as an anglo I had no idea who he is either – has announced his intention to run for mayor in the next election. Like his master Poilievre he calls Valérie Plante incompetent.
He’s been on Quebec’s version of Big Brother. Great CV for politics.

It would be nice to have an actual opposition that could run a campaign on ideas. Instead we have a bunch of culture war trolls.

Never heard of him either but, then again, I don’t follow pop culture or watch TV.
At first glance, he kind of comes across as a white franco Québécois analogue to Balarama Holness: a photogenic, former media personality with a bit of name recognition and no track record in politics who somehow thinks that qualifies him for mayor.

I’m gathering that what Lambert is really known for is doxxing himself on Twitter.
