I might have to join the PLQ just to vote for anyone else.

He may not even be accepted as a candidate by the party, at this rate.

When I saw his name, I was afraid you were going to post about him deciding to run for mayor again.

Don’t worry CE, there’s still plenty of time for him to run for mayor if he loses the PLQ race, for which the convention is in June. Nomination deadline is September, and I remember talking to a Plante supporter in June 2017 who said she had no chance, so there’s both a legal and practical possibility. (I still highly doubt it.)

Do you think Ensemble would take him back, Nicholas? That party just started its search for a leader to be concluded at the end of the month. It already tried once, but nobody knocked at that door.

I mean, Ensemble is only a vassal of Coderre, the only mayoral candidate it has ever run, a party founded by and for him. [Adjective] [City] is a time-honoured party name in this province, and a new one could pop up for a new leader with no baggage. Does Ensemble have any money or love from the populace? No one even wants to lead it, even their own councillors, what is it without Coderre? I don’t think either side wants him back, but it’s existential crisis time.
