You might have noticed that there is an upcoming municipal election about to be sprung on our hard working citizens. Given the extremely difficult task of persuading voters to indulge their right of participating in their civic duty, the powers that be decided to place the vote on Sunday November 1st, the day after party day of the year, Halloween, which happens to fall on the perfect party night, the only Saturday of the year where you can stay up an hour later and not suffer the consequences. I wonder what the turnout will be this time around?
Hangover or not – get out and vote. Check out Projet Montréal if you are interested in the future of our children living in our beautiful city – we gotta do something about the automobile and these are the only guys who talk any sense when it comes to the pollution-spewing beast. Have you seen the wee electric car running around in the Plateau and Mile End? Why can’t we all have one – Hydro Quebec says they can provide the fuel. What then is stopping the future being now? I’ll tell you what – politicians wearing blinkers, politicians devoured by the car gods, politicians only interested in the status quo and fat municipal contracts.
Its time for a change, its time for municipal citizens to wean themselves from their dependence on gas-guzzling and look for other solutions to City transport. They do exist. Demand the change.
