Quality of the mayoral contenders

MONTREAL – Many people are voicing dismay over the quality of the mayoral contenders in this fall’s Montreal election. A real hunger exists for a leader of integrity who can bring élan and a sense of direction to this city. Last week, for example, the Board of Trade sponsored a panel discussion on Jean Drapeau, the last mayor who (for all his faults) possessed those qualities. Will we ever see such a mayor again?
