In the past, Mr. Laoi has often had harsh words about the former mayor, who is running for mayor again.

Laoi said he did not identify himself in his former party, revealing the major weaknesses of the current administration, which were unable to meet the challenges that would arise. “I believe Montreal can and should do well,” he lamented.

The other candidate, Serge Sasville, who attended Wednesday, explained that he was stepping into the municipal sector after a “serious life” in the corporate world because he wanted to serve Montreal and its artistic power.
