Today I got a reminder of why I didn't vote for Projet Montreal: jacking up the property tax by way of jacking up assessment so that unaffordability increases. About 9%.
Valérie Plante said she wouldn't increase the property tax. Instead she jacked up evaluations. Lying to our (the voters) face.

That's a direct line of the 2017 platform (2 elections ago). And what has happened?
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice....
From a different party:
> The party would prioritize the extension of the Metro's Orange line to the Bois-Franc REM station
I hate to brake it to you buddy, but it's when you were in charge of the STM that you should have gone to bat for this. The TBM has been gone for a while. And you know what cost for that kind of project? The TBM.
(context: they built the underground garage for trains past Cote Vertu, going basically half way the distance to connect to Bois-Franc, with a TBM)
Also
> The party would replace single turnstile entrances with full-height turnstiles.
They must never have tried these. 1. they are inconvenient 2. cost money that could be used to other things 3. make it even worse when fare evasion happens. Instead of some jumping, they assault by sliding being someone with a fare....
> It would work with Montreal police to train Metro security officers in "frontline intervention tactics."

Wow. The party founded by the person who won a discrimination lawsuit against SPVM (Montreal po-po) has a policing platform that is in total opposition of that. They want police gangs, video surveillance and all that shit that makes police even more racist.
I can't even wrap my head around.

when there is a pepper spray incident shutting down the metro, it's because of these bozos. But tell me how this helps transporting people if they are a major cause of disruption.
Transit constable are here to check fares. No fares, no need for them.
No need for fare gates update (again). No need for spyware (mobile app).
Then maybe we can improve transit and focus on moving people without a car.

Fuck no. How about FREE transit. Then you can reduce drastically that budget.
The great achievement of Valérie Plante is to convince you she loved cyclists. So that they would all vote her in.
This city hate pedestrians. Also hate cyclists (until it is time to buy the votes by painting infrastructure).

oh and I didn't spell it out but I believe the incumbent party is also corrupt.
So the choice for the Municipal in Montréal are:
- The one I have had regret on day one. The incumbent that reneged on every promise.
- A party that want AI policing so that racial profiling can be even worse.
- A party that exclude anglos and visually impaired people.
- The party of Tremblay (corruption).
Well fuck.

Today we announced our progressive vision for Public Security in Montreal.
🔸Massive Investment in prevention;
🔸Creation of a civil service for social crises;
🔸An end to budgetary waste;
🔸Abolition of arbitrary police street checks.
Imagine a Montréal municipal party that wants to take on the incumbents, and it manage to deliberately ignore 15% of the population by not providing an English version of their website.
It's September 3... the Montréal election is November 2...
Almost 15% of Montréal identify as anglophone—where is the English version of Transition Montréal's website?
