Plante management

[snakejack]

New thread to discuss the absurd Plante management.

Taxes ++
Too many bike paths
Dirty city
Engineered traffic jams
War to small businesses operators and restaurants (did you ask yourself why it’s expensive to go out in mtl ?)
Etc

Who can afford another 4 years of Plante/ communist ruling?

Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante makes 'heartbreaking decision' not to seek re-election

"I'll fully assume my duties as mayor until the end of my mandate" in 2025, Plante said Wednesday.

^^^^^ Plante will not seek re-election. Best news, then next is Trudeau. But all the damage Plante did will likely not be undone. All the useless bicycle paths and the streets turned into one lane one direction streets must be undone.

Done apparently as a beautification project lol... the street cleaners can't even clean the streets properly any more..LOL.. beautification is about to get really dirty looking as the leaves can't be cleaned up off the street any longer. I'm curious what snow removal is going to look like. This was such a waist of taxpayers money.

IMO, the real issue about Plante's legacy is not whether she should have done this or not, but much more about how her administration did things.

1. Secure bike path for people who live in the city are great and have a lot of different benefit. In the last 5 years, bike traffic has increased by more than 20% a year.
The downside of her action are more about the crazy speed of implementation of the new network of path and their design or location. Some are well designed and nicely integrated in the city fabric but others are a total nonsence...

2. Dirty city, only the responsability of the administration? Not true. Each and evey one has the responsabilty of it. How we manage our garbage and we behave in the public space is everyone business. I still witness on a daily basis people throwing their cigarette butch on the sidewalk or sometime even emptying the car's ashtray on the street. Regularly I see dog poop bag left on the ground.. etc. Just travel in other country like Japan, you will notice almost no public garbage bin. Still it's one of the cleanest place in the world.

3. Traffic jam: Yes, too many constructions project at the same time, very poor management and way too long delays, stupid street traffic light system, no communication and go on..., almost engineered in my mind.

4. War to small businesses operators and restaurants: not enough support in term of bylaw for control of commercial property leases and for the serious impact of all the above...

I will stop there but the list of other things is long.... The city structure, with all the buroughs figthing the central, too much non efficient bureaucracy...

In all, Montreal is a difficult city to manage but it has its charm and can be a very nice place to live...

I been listening to QUB radio on Youtube recently and they don't go soft on her. Mentioning stuff like she singing "koombaya" and doing nothing. For exemple for these pro-hamas protest that have been polluting the streets. Including rioting and damage to property.

She is a leftist activist herself. Beside smilling and acting like all his sunshine and rainbow, she does nothing. Truly a "plant" in a corner.

Pierrefonds which is not a wealthy Burrough got hit with 3,2% tax increase! 2 years in a row! Its crazy! More than inflation.
It's time to go Valérie ! Adios!

Good riddance another woke lefty bites the dust.
She can bicycle her way into obscurity.

I was very surprise that she agreed to remove the publicity of the little girl in Hijab. But for the most part she has been terrible, people request those bike path be removed and she still leaves them in place, crime is up in Montreal, in the metro its terrible, and she shows up and smiles like nothing is happening and no its safe everything is fine. Lets remove the police officers guns for safety.

Not sure why she is still in power and seeing how she destroy most commerce on St Catherine street is just awful, I remember younger walk St Catherine at 3am it was safe we went out had fun lots of small restaurant open at night. I really wish things get back under control and Montreal can be a safe city again. Because now it makes no sense at all

And insisted yesterday I think thatlaw abiding firearm owner should be further attacked by Trudeau.
In Trudeau last ban, a bunch of .22 caliber semi-auto rifle have been banned just for their look.
Have you ever heard of mass shooting in Canada or USA with a 22 caliber rifle ?
Certainly, if you shoot someone in the head at quite short range, you might kill him.

they know exactly were the guns are coming in, who as them etc but they just let it be, they could stop the violence, and put criminals in jail for a very long time, but no they don't do that, Trudeau wants to sink Canada, and Plante wants to see Montreal sink too.
