    That’s exactly what I’m talking about.

    Coderre thought he had ideas of grandeur that would ‘put Montréal on the map’ with all kinds of projects that would have benefited businesses first and foremost and actual residents and their quality of life were an afterthought. He acted like such a mononcle thinking it would connect with the millennials who were fed up with boomer mentality.

    Plante actually put Montréal on the map by making it an example of a livable city in North America and putting the concerns and needs of the residents first. And it feels like the city hasn’t thrived this much since Jean Drapeau.
