\n\u00ab Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. \u00bb
\n– A very wise man<\/em><\/p>\n

Il semble que j\u2019ai oubli\u00e9 un dernier adjectif pour d\u00e9crire la population montr\u00e9alaise<\/a> : paresseuse.<\/p>\n

Ou bien n\u00e9gligente, \u00e9cervel\u00e9e, l\u00e2che.<\/p>\n

Avec un taux de participation qui n\u2019atteint m\u00eame pas 40 %<\/a>, tu m\u00e9rites ta pourriture urbaine. Ta lacune d\u2019action me d\u00e9goute.
\nCertains d\u00e9ploreront le manque de publicit\u00e9. D\u2019autres pr\u00e9tendront qu\u2019il faisait trop beau pour aller voter. La majorit\u00e9 avancera que tout, toutes, et tous sont responsables \u00e0 l\u2019exception de toi \u2013 le soi-disant citoyen.<\/p>\n

Qu\u2019est-il advenu de l\u2019axiome national \u00ab ma\u00eetre chez nous \u00bb ?<\/p>\n

Tu n\u2019\u00e9tais pas au courant du scrutin municipal ? Familiarise-toi avec un petit outil qui s\u2019appelle Internet.<\/p>\n

Tu n\u2019avais pas aim\u00e9 ce qui t\u2019a \u00e9t\u00e9 propos\u00e9 ? Engage-toi ! Soutiens tes projets.<\/p>\n

Tu ne crois pas au syst\u00e8me politique qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois et canadien ? Deviens militant de la cause.<\/p>\n

La soci\u00e9t\u00e9 ne peut se transformer que par vote ou par r\u00e9volution. Montr\u00e9al, attends-tu une r\u00e9volution ? Est-ce que ton bras sait porter l\u2019\u00e9p\u00e9e ? Il ne sait m\u00eame pas porter un crayon !<\/p>\n

Des pires d\u2019histoires d\u2019escroquerie municipale circulent \u00e0 toute \u00e9chelle de m\u00e9dia : r\u00e9gionale, nationale, f\u00e9d\u00e9rale, et m\u00eame internationale. Montr\u00e9al, c\u2019est ton portefeuille qui se fait piquer devant toi ; dans ta face. Peut-\u00eatre les \u00e9lections devraient-elles avoir lieu le 1er mai, apr\u00e8s le Jour J des imp\u00f4ts.<\/p>\n

Je r\u00e9p\u00e8te ce que j\u2019ai \u00e9crit au d\u00e9but de cette s\u00e9rie<\/a> : nous, les citoyens de Montr\u00e9al, nous devrions avoir honte. Nous n\u2019assistons pas aux scrutins municipaux. Nous laissons des clowns (ainsi que des forbans et des mafias) conqu\u00e9rir la Mairie.<\/p>\n

Une honte qui nous sied \u00e0 ravir.<\/p>\n

p.s. Congrats Mayor Tremblay. Enjoy your 3rd term but take heed – In the words of the great William Shakespeare : Beware the ides of Spacing Montr\u00e9al. We will be watching.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
