Letter I wrote to Helen Fotopolous, and Mr. Tremblay

Before the subject of renaming Avenue du Parc ever came up I had a fair amount of respect for Mr. Tremblay, I voted his party in the past 2 elections, I supported his stance on several issues, and I liked many things about his vision of the future of Montreal. However, given his actions and bigoted comments surrounding this particular issue, I’m afraid that this “neo-Montrealer” has lost all respect for him as a person.

Unfortunately, I will now have to actively campaign against him and his party in the next municipal election. This is unfortunate because I find that I’ve developed even more respect for Helen Fotopolous, and while I derive no pleasure in political activism, I cannot in good conscious remain silent with a bigot as mayor of city I love.

Please note that this would have been the case even if the vote went in favor of Avenue du Parc.

Sorry Helen,
Matthew Adie
