What does the mayor think of the performance of the candidates
Last week’s break time by a poll showing a “clear trend in favor of Bruno Marchand”. Next week will be crucial if QFF wants to bring this momentum into the ballot box. The week also marked a lively discussion on transparency. In this case, Jackie Smith played his cards very skillfully, revealing the number of trees cut down. Jean-Franకోois Gocelin and Bruno Marchand just had to jump on the train and accelerate this powerful locomotive. Mary-Josie Saward finally made the data public, but in terms of perceptions it was too late.
Good thing for the week
It was a good strategy for Jackie Smith to start a petition, to stay in the news and finally win his case.
Bad move of the week
Jean Rousseau responded quickly by resigning his candidate with a problematic past, but it is doubtful that any confirmation would take place before announcing his appointment.

What does the mayor think of the performance of the candidates
According to our Leger survey published this week, with the race hardening by the end of the course, the three leaders, Sward, Gocelin and Marchands should not care too much about anything. Transparency emerged as a theme. Ms. The Sword tram cost $ 600 million and was criticized for the “privacy” of its travel in Rene-Lewesk. When pressed to reveal his stats for his metro, Gosselin was slow to adhere to it even though the campaign was over. Jean Rousseau must have known the criminal past of candidate Bertrand de L’Pinoy and was forced to resign. Too many discussions created too many repetitions.
Good thing for the week
Bruno Marchand was able to demonstrate all the absurdity of the Quebec 21 metro project, comparing it to the Playmobile project and criticizing the underestimated costs.
Bad move of the week
Mary-Josie Saward made the mistake of not attending the media last weekend. She made plenty of room for her opponents at a strategic point in the campaign.

What does the mayor think of the performance of the candidates
We thought so and now a survey confirms it: Bruno Marchand has air in his sail. He becomes the target of all attacks. Can he continue his momentum? Conditions are deteriorating for Mary-Josie Sword, who has been criticized for her lack of transparency over the felling of trees on the Rene-Lewesk boulevard and for overcoming the $ 600 million cost for the tram. A gift from heaven for Jean-Franకోois Gocelin. Mr. Russo, needs a motivation to stand up, he has to give up the candidate. Jackie Smith’s idea of transferring control of the Quebec port to the city was completely disconnected from the reality of the international port.
Good thing for the week
Jean-Franకోois Gosselin Legalt was able to use the government’s output, saying it was ready to discuss the tramway project again with the new mayor of Quebec.
Bad move of the week
As Vice President of the Executive Committee, it is hard to believe that Mary-Josie Saward said she was unaware of the $ 600 million cost for the tram.
