Soraya Martinez Ferrada's first months as mayor have fallen under the microscope and scalpel, and why wouldn’t they? At the time of her coming into office, the veneer of Valerie Plante’s previous administration had long since fallen away and the incumbent is facing a clear and challenging demand: Can you fix what’s broken in this city?
Enter the ensuing media scrums, critiques, and editorials, covering everything from public‑transit labour disputes, property‑tax hikes, and budget choices while making promises made on homelessness, housing, and mobility that are actively being put to the test. Then there are the debates on bike lanes, cars, and all of the potholes between polarized Montrealers since she took office. (And this, I know, is glossing over all manner of other priorities.)
