So sad: the body of Clémence Umugwaneza, who went missing in January, has been found in the river off Louiseville in the Mauricie. An autopsy may reveal more but the initial reports say there were no obvious signs of violence.

Montréal poll results are as predictable as a tic-tac-to game. Québec Solidaire might make inroads in next election by stealing a couple of PQ strongholds. Other than that…
@ ant6n: Parti Vert? Even though their last leader, Scott McKay, is now with the PQ, I don’t think they have ever adopted a seperatist stance. At the last election, they had around 15% support in NDG.

Fellow “Blokes” until we stop voting for the Libs like sheep our city becomes progressively more marginalized. Flip side, until our entire political cultural moves away from the comfortable sovreignist-federalist binary, maybe this is Montreal’s fate. Sad because lets be honest the future is in our capacity to manage the urban. The rural, with its incredible political weight, is the past.
