Quebec Municipal Elections 2017

[Hatman 🍁]

In Gatineau, Action Gatineau increases their seat total to 7, but still no majority for the mayor.

[Poirot]

In Longueuil Parent seems to be ahead by 59 votes over Latendresse. Not sure if the count is final. there will probably be a recount being so close.

From the official website, 71 votes lead with 5 boxes left (out of 495 boxes)

Well, Saguenay was taken by the Opposition leader, but the incumbent mayor was retiring and she was widely expected to win.

Longueuil is uncalled, tight between the party of the outgoing mayor and the party created by the most councillors of that party when their candidate lost the leadership race.

Any former NDP M.Ps elected to anything?

Groghué, Longueuil, NO (14%)
Mai, Brossard, most likely not, but currently 2nd (but incumbent is 3rd)
Nicholls, Hudson: not declared yet

Any others running I don't know?

Seems Jamie Nicholls is elected mayor with 73% of the vote.

She wins by 118 votes.

The Équipe Denis Coderre candidate in Saint-Genevieve won by just 40 votes. Less than 1,000 were cast in that area.

[MAINEiac4434]

It's coming down to the last box in La Pointe aux Prairies. The Équipe Denis Coderre candidate is up by 32 votes. It's the only seat in the Riviere-des-Prairies-Pointe-Aux-Trembles arondissement that's even close for Projet Montreal.

[MaxQue]

Both of them are for borough councils, not city council, through.

Yes.

Bergeron has lost his seat.

Yes.

Bergeron has lost his seat.

That is not surprising in the least. In fact, I think every defector to Équipe Denis Coderre lost, while every defector to Projet Montréal won.

[MaxQue]

What happened in Lachine? Projet Montréal did a clean sweep and Valérie Plante got nearly 60%.

I'm somewhat confused by the numbers:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal_municipal_election,_2017

If you count, Borough Mayors, City and Borough Councillors its (from wiki above):
PM - 49
eDC - 39
eBarbe - 7
eAnjou - 5
CM - 1

Any reason why the count isn't shown like that?

Also, interesting physical divide on the map here on La Presse
http://www.lapresse.ca/multimedias/201711/03/01-5142260-resultats-des-elections-municipales-2017.php if you look at the results for mayor, Coderre won the Boroughs along the north side of the City (except L'Ile-Bizard), Plante won those along the south.

[VPH]

Well, that was definitely a rough night. Here's what I took from it:
1. If you have a personalistic outfit, you need to ensure that the person in charge is well liked.
2. Any association to the Conservatives on this island is toxic-just look at incumbent councilor (and 2015 CPC Ville-Marie candidate) Steve Shanahan coming in 3rd in his district...
3. Star candidates can run ahead of their ticket (Macklovitch got 35% in the Plateau, better than any other EDC candidates there), but at the end of the day a fortress is still a fortress.
4. Richard Bergeron got humiliated badly...
5. Anybody associated with Coderre's big moves was a target-look at Russell Copeman and Real Menard.
6. Projet Montreal dug heavily into the suburbs, which were supposed to be Coderre's base. RDP was closer than expected, Lasalle broke for Projet, Ille-Bizard and Pierrefonds were surprising.

Borough councillors do not sit on city council.

If anyone can find me some mayoral results of any municipality by district, I would be happy to make some more maps. I have blank maps of all the big cities.

As a city planning major and all around transit nerd I must say I’m quite pleased with the results from Montreal

[136or142]

I'm sure I'll regret asking, but what is a borough mayor?  The idea of having an overall mayor and a bunch of little area mayors sounds insane.

Most merged cities have them, it's just than the other cities have the borough council elect it from their own members.

It's a two layers system.
City: Montreal mayor + borough mayors + city councillors. It manages city-wide issues

Borough: Borough mayor (Ville-Marie borough mayor is Montreal mayor) + city councillors from the borough (some small boroughs have no city councillors as they are entitled one seat in City Council, so only the borough mayor sits on City Council) + borough councillors (for small boroughs, so there is more than 2 or 3 members on it). It manages proximity issues.

It's quite a decentralised system. I think it's more democratic than most cities (i.e. Etobicoke forcing Rob Ford on central Toronto).

Thanks for the information.

I kind of like the idea of boroughs. The idea was floated around when Ottawa amalgamated, but was never implemented, unfortunately.

[lilTommy]

Anyone who will listen to me rant, I tell them over and over again Toronto needs to move to a borough system. Were already kinda getting there with the Community Councils (basically the old cities but still some mergers: Etobicoke-York, Toronto-East York)

[Hatman 🍁]

Toronto having four "community councils" while Montreal has 19 boroughs is kind of a laughable comparison.
