Former Montréal mayor Valérie Plante aka "l'homme de la shituation"

If I remember correctly, and I'm pretty sure I do. . . former #Montréal mayor Valérie Plante aka "l'homme de la shituation" allowed Montréal's #homelessness problem to not only persist, but to significantly worsen, over the span of her 8 year "reign" as mayor.

Thankfully there a good number of #Montreal politicians who are not only aware that #SystemicRacism is a major problem in the SPVM, but who have directly or indirectly experienced #racism courtesy of #racist #SPVM police officers.

I know several of them. . .

"The hypocrisy people have gotten used to is honestly incredible.

So we’ll never stop calling it out. 🇨🇦"

Can I interest Cult MTL in reporting on the truly outrageous #hypocrisy certain outrageously #hypocritical #Montréal politicians are guilty of?

LOL!

Back in 2015, #Montreal mayor Denis Coderre got 12/10. 🤣

Oops! In rewriting-editing the above comment I accidentally left "anything", instead of rewriting "There's nothing wrong".

UNlike @projetmontreal.org as a political party, & rather too many #ProblematicProjetMontrealPoliticians, I responsibly acknowledge my mistakes & correct them.

Où est-ce que j'ai dit, ou même suggeré, qu'il y a "trop de #pistescyclables à #Montréal depuis #ProjetMontréal"?

J'ai dit 2 choses.

1. Il y a trop de #cyclistesdangereux sur les pistes cyclables.

2. Il y des problèmes au niveau d'infrastructure et signalisation.

#PolMTL #MTLpoli #CMMTL #SPVM

Je suis d'accord, mais une administration *responsable* ne peut pas, et ne doit pas. . . "affirmer clairement qu’un réseau cyclable, c’est sécuritaire" quand le #réseaucyclable de #Montréal n'est pas vraiment *sécuritaire*.

Non?

Today I asked Montreal's new #EnsembleMontreal administration about providing beds instead of chairs in emergency warming centers for the #homeless, & providing opportunities to sleep during the day.

Claude Pinard answered my questions quite well.

En parlant des témoignages jugés non crédibles. . .

I try to correct my mistakes.

BTW Denis Coderre's financial woes might have something to do with his #MathSkills being rather questionable. 😉😇

Le SPVM a dit que l'homme était armé avec un couteau et qu'ils avaient peur qu'il pouvait entrer dans l'UQAM, mais ça ne change pas le fait que cette intervention policière est très questionable.

Ça va être critiquer dans les semaines qui suivent.

I hope the SPVM has good insurance on those 2 police cars.

Were they trying to crush the guy between them?

Projet Montreal's Public Security guy Alain Vaillancourt, insisted the #SPVM is the best police force in North America. 🤣

Needless to say, I agree, & I will continue to encourage Soraya Martinez Ferrada & #EnsembleMontréal to introduce a #RankedBallot #ProportionalRepresentation voting system for the 2029 municipal elections.

I found it interesting how our new mayor presented her top priorities.

#PolMTL #CMMTL #PolQC

It's quite ironic that Taylor C. Noakes proclaims:

"A city without vision is no place to live."

when new mayor Soraya Martinez Ferrada has repeatedly declared that her highest priority is dealing with Montreal's #housing & #homelessness crisis. . .

A citizen provided the new #EnsembleMontreal administration with a list of #Montreal buildings that could potentially house the #homeless during the #PublicQuestionsPeriod of tonight's city council meeting.

His suggestions were well received.

Bonjour Dre Drouin,

Le magasin La Baie (The Bay) est vide en ce moment.

Il me semble que La Baie peut être utiliser comme non-seulement une halte chaleur durant le jour, mais un hébergement d'urgence pour que les sans-abris peuvent dormir en sécurité durant la nuit.

Non?

#PolMTL #MTLpoli #CMMTL

During the #PublicQuestionsPeriod of today's #Montreal city council meeting, I asked mayoress Soraya Martinez Ferrada if her #EnsembleMontreal administration would consider #RankedBallot #ProportionalRepresentation for the next elections.

“Montreal should be learning from other cities, and we’re not.”

It's UNfortunate that "l'homme de la situation" aka Valérie Plante and Projet Montréal were, and still are. . . #SlowLearners.

Hopefully Ensemble Montréal will do better.

Is the double entendre of "enduring" intentional?
