Liberals proudly inaugurating a Private-Public Partnership in transit that has a non-competitive clause against public transit, and that will slowly cannibalize its financing. It allows them to show the opening of a transit line without financing it directly.

They have something to smile about. The slow privatization of the transit system in Montreal is on its way, a gift from neoliberalism.

For real.

Soraya, the new mayor of Montreal claimed troughout her campaign that she was a person of the people and knew the issues the population were facing because her MP office was in her riding of Hochelaga. I've never ever seen her in my neighborhood nor do I think she even knows the struggles the people are facing in that area or in Montreal in general. She's a career politician who was looking for her next job.
