The Mayoral election race in Montreal has occured, and suprising no one, Soraya Martinez Ferrada is the winner. She ran a compaign that no one would call inspiring, but she was against opponents that most people would struggle to call anything but flat. The competition was unimpressive, uninspiring, and it led to Projet losing the race, losing some seats, and finally losing their leader. The night of the election loss, Rabouin took the responsibility and quit.
It seems that Liberals in Canada are having insane luck with their opponents falling short, because while Ferrada won in Montreal due to her opponents being uninteresting, Carney is looking better and better in the eyes of Canadians. Popcorn flick drama took the parliament by surprise this week, as the conservatives started eating themselves alive. First, Chris d’Entremont, a mild mannered east coast Progressive Conservative member of the party crossed the floor, reminding us that the PC and the Liberals are not far from one another. Poilievre then failed to announce the conservative ammendment to the Liberal budget. Then, another member quit dramatically, and rumours say that he was likely to cross the floor. For any political junkies, it’s been a wild week.
In other news, Quebec Solidaire elected a new co-leader. Isaac complains, Gab complains, and we’re all in shock. Their strategy seems to be to capture the nationalist left, which hardly exists in 2025 like it did in the 70s. Has QS just shot themselves in the foot?
