Accurso’s departure: what does it mean?

Tony Accurso says he never stole nothing from nobody as he leaves his position at the helm of his construction empire – although, as Le Devoir points out, what effect this formal departure will have is unknown.

Accurso’s empire is a big one that includes Louisbourg, Simard-Beaudry and 61 other registered businesses. La Presse has a brief piece headlined workers saddened that he’s going but it seems at odds with the journalist’s finding that some of them hadn’t even heard the news.
