Mayor Pierre Bourque

Sunday 30 August 1998 More public housing: Duchesneau Bourque predicts 5,000 residents in Old Montreal by UYEN VU

Sunday 26 July 1998 What won't they do for a few votes? by BILL BROWNSTEIN... So, His Worship is doing sleep-overs with constituents in a bid to prove he curls up in a bed just like the rest of us.
Splendid idea. Not only does the mayor bring his own floss, but he'll toss in a soccer ball and a Game Boy for your offspring. And he'll fry you up a batch of eggs, mow the lawn, and even schlep over to the depanneur to fetch you your morning newspaper.

Friday 17 July 1998 Getting into the swim It is perhaps unfair to say that Mayor Pierre Bourque deserves the blame any time people show up at their neighbourhood public pool this sweltering summer, only to find it closed
Saturday 11 July 1998 Heavy-handed tactics ... it's also because the dispute reflects directly on the Bourque administration's city-wide style of consulting - or, to be more accurate, not really consulting - citizens on projects closely affecting them.
Wednesday 8 July 1998 - Henry Aubin - Off-track planning Commuter-rail idea only would encourage more urban sprawl ...Mayor Bourque revealed last week that the Quebec government was, at his behest, studying the possibility of building a commuter rail line between the South Shore and centre city, with a stop at the casino.
For any Montreal mayor, however, to back the plan is irresponsible. Bourque argues that this train would reduce traffic on the Champlain and Victoria bridges and decongest downtown streets.

Pierre Bourque

.... All Bourque's plan would do, then, is inflate the doughnut, spurring more people to move from Montreal Island and further depleting its feeble fiscal base.

Yet the casino train, if it goes ahead, would be only one small part of a big government strategy to make it easier to live off the island.

Mayor Pierre Bourque

Will Bourque come up through the middle? Amid the divided opinions, there was one strong endorsement of Jacques Duchesneau. At the provincial level, Jean Charest is carrying on with his campaign to meet the people without tipping his hand as to who his Brains Trust will be; rumors in the PLQ are that he is looking for a number of fresh faces. One rumor is that the TMR seat is reserved for Vera Danyluk. This appears odd following so soon after her battle over the MUC Chairmanship; if she were to step down now after winning that battle, she would have some formidable opponents. Stay tuned!
