Plante is not uprooted.
Lionel Perez is narrowly defeated by Gracida Kasoki Katawha.

The elections went as expected

Coderre: While I enjoyed working for him and he is a very pro-Montreal person, he is also too cocky, arrogant and platform is hella outdated (society has changed drastically since 2013). Then add his secrecy, seemed like he was in a scandal weekly, his campaign was low energy and very quiet. Coderre also kept flip flopping on policies after he would see backlash.

Plante: Her party ended up moving more to the right and had a very centrist platform, which definitely helped get more votes from non-progressive people. She is just as authoritarian as Coderre and egotistical, but she hides it well in the public. However, behind the scenes, it is brutal. Lets see what Plante 2.0 brings, will it be more open, transparent and benefit people outside Le Plateau? Or will it be same old Plante.

Holeness: Thew new kid on the block did well, 7% votes in a first election. He had solid ideas and it was well rounded compared to other parties. It is good to have new voices and new people involved in the process. His ideas for a city state is much needed and will help Montreal succeed, and him standing up to systemic racism and discrimination by the QC government is a breath of fresh air. I'd keep my eye out on them, lots of potential growth.

Had I been in Montreal I would have been 50-50 between Coderre and Plante, and might have leaned to Coderre in the ballot box.

Then their respective speeches on Sunday night would have made me regret voting for Coderre and not Plante.

Holness is a joke. Even in the parts of town with the most anglos he didn't get a single councillor elected.

How he and others expect an anglo grudge party (with a side of BLM Defund the Police) to get elected in a city that's 65% francophone is beyond me.

You’re saying there are fangs behind Plante’s smile?

I’m surprised at Perez’s loss. I thought his constituency was heavily Jewish.

CDN-NDG is about 10% Jewish according to the city profile. https://www.conseilcdn.qc.ca/wordpre...eiges-2017.pdf

It's an extremely diverse area and the largest borough by population, with just under 200,000 people.
