Defining the latter labyrinth

Who will replace Rockies Labyrinth, one of the most popular and colorful mayors in Quebec in recent years? The question remains unresolved. A Lager poll released in June announced a three-way race between Mary-Josie Schwartz, Jean-Franோois Kozellin and Bruno Merchant. Second place of the first outgoing mayor. The vice president of the board was often in the shadow of his boss – broad, true. M^Me Schwartz presents himself as a consistent candidate. Jean-Franசois Gossell, the leader of the official opposition and leader of the Quebec 21 party, is seeking a second term as mayor. This time the man softened his speech against the construction of public transport. He is the only candidate who opposes the tram, but promises to Metro if elected. Bruno Marchand is a foreigner. This former CEO of Centride received the support of former Vice President Agnes Maldai. Quebec, a former adviser to Team Labyrinth, chose to wear the colors of his party strongly and proudly. Jean Rousseau of Demonrati Quebec and Jackie Smith of Transition Quebec are also in contention.

Language

Fournier takes the lead

The context at the center of the debate

Mayor Maxim Betnoid-Job surprised many when he announced that he was not going to run for mayor for the third time, which sparked speculation about his political future. Young consultant Moody Marquis-Bissonet has taken over the reins of his party’s Action Katino. She wants to make the environment her priority. Katino has also experienced significant flooding, torrential rains and hurricanes in recent years. The tramway project is likely to occupy discussions. M^Me The Marquis-Bissonet is in favor of the project, with his rival, France Belisle, the former CEO of Tourisme Autois. Action Katino, however, is less interested in the idea of ​​a sixth bridge to Ottawa, a subtle subject in the region. Jean-Franசois LeBlanc, an independent candidate and outgoing municipal councilor, is running for mayor. Jacques Lamey and Remy Bergeron are also in the race, including five announced candidates.

Rimoski

Swelling and waves

Mayor Mark promises that the campaign to change parents will be thorny in Remoski. Candidates include Guy Karon, a former NDP MP. This graduate in public administration and regional development was excluded from the discussions of the joint committees by a majority of councilors in a referendum approved by the outgoing mayor. M^Me Brooks condemned The sun In a culture of “consensus”, “one cannot oppose certain decisions”. As soon as his candidacy was announced, some current advisers asked Mr. Does not hide the preference for coronation. The economist was elected federal vice president for the Rimoski-Nike-Demiskovata-Les Bask during the Orange Wave in 2011 and then re-elected in 2015. The man with the campaign slogan “United for Remoski” will undoubtedly seek to present himself as a co-ordinating candidate. .

Sherbrook

Three-way competition

Who knows how the outcome of the race for mayor of Sherbrook can be predicted. Outgoing mayor Steve Lucier will face two candidates. Luke Ford, a former Liberal minister in the Coulard government, has just started racing. The 39-year-old man was defeated by Christine Labrie in 2018 in solidarity. Mr. Fordin will seek to present himself as the center’s candidate, a cohesive choice. Councilor Evelyn Patin, the leader of the Sherbrook citizen, who is more closely associated with the Left, would like to portray his two opponents as representatives of the current situation. The outgoing mayor is also likely. Steve Lucier had a 61% satisfaction rate last February, according to the Navigator survey conducted for Les Coopes DL Information.
