VALÉRIE PLANT - MAYOR OF MONTREAL 
by Bernard Bujold - 
A new wind blows on Montreal with the victory of Valérie Plante as the first woman at the town hall of the city.
On the personal level, I am particularly very happy because the victory of Valérie maintains my average of political projection at 100% of success on the level of the victories and defeats by the candidates... 
Congratulations to Valérie Plante!

Even the streets surrounding the outside of the downtown square are fenced off. The Quebecor Empire is not even exempt because of constructi...
