My votes today proved fruitful: Pierre Bourque lost his bid for a third term as mayor of Montreal, by a wide margin. Gerald Tremblay will be the first mayor of the 21st century now.

Bourque proved just how dense he could be in his concession speech; on the city merger, he said he might have explained it better, to make it more palatable. Hey, moron: it's an unpopular idea in Montreal, no matter HOW you explained it. As I've said from the beginning: no matter how we phrased it, we still said as one: we don't want it!

Now, the message should be clear - not that he'll understand it.
