Denis Coderre ‘turning the page’ on his political life

Montreal's former mayor Denis Coderre has announced he is leaving politics for good. Coderre, who once served as a federal cabinet minister, will pursue opportunities in the corporate and academic sectors. He expressed gratitude for his political career but emphasized his desire to focus on new challenges and contribute to society in different ways. This decision marks the end of an era in Montreal politics, as Coderre had a significant influence during his tenure. The announcement follows a period of reflection after his 2021 election defeat to current Mayor Valérie Plante.
