Feeling threatened by Sam Hamad who is a “friend of the promoters”, Bruno Marchand “sold his soul” to the developers of Quebec and denied his campaign promises, claims the candidate for town hall Jackie Smith.
The Transition Québec’s TRANSITION CHASSE Criticized the positions of Mayor Bruno Marchand, in the case of several developing files in the city, in particular that of the Trudel group project, on the Dorchester island.
Ms. Smith deplores the double speech of the mayor, who promised in the campaign a gentle densification and which gave the green light to a 17-story building, which contravenes the particular plan of urban planning in Saint-Roch. “There is a wild densification and the beautiful words of the mayor are not held.” It denounces the absence of referendum consultation.
It also deplored the “destruction of natural environments” in other sectors of the city such as the Boisé de Charlesbourg and the Cap-Rouge golf course, as well as the Les Châtels district, with the Dallaire group project, and that of the airport with the industrial space which will be developed, to the south.
“Fear”
“He sees Sam Hamad on the horizon and he is afraid. Now that it is clear that Sam Hamad is the friend of the promoters, we see the merchant’s game. He is afraid of Sam Hamad and he sold his soul to the promoters, ”said Smith, in a press briefing on Monday.
Thus, “just before the elections”, the mayor gives the green light to “all projects that have no social acceptability”, she says.
Regarding Sam Hamad, with the revelations of the newspaper’s investigation office on its proximity to the promoter Trudel Innovation, Ms. Smith had claimed the withdrawal of her candidacy last week. She added a layer of criticism on Monday, arguing that it is impossible to erect “a wall of China”, as the candidate promised, if he is elected mayor.

“How is Sam Hamad, as mayor, will take enough distance from real estate developers so that the population can have the confidence that he is not in conflict of interest? Whether he receives bribes or does his friends do? It’s too vague. There are too many questions. “
QFF application
In addition, Jackie Smith reacted to the candidacy of Raymond Poirier, in his district of Limoilou, for the mayor’s party, Quebec strong and proud (QFF), that the newspaper unveiled. She points to several files on which Mr. Poirier is “in contradiction” with his political team.
She cites the battles he waged against red dust, expansion of the port, the third link, and for the municipalization of alleys.
“It is unlike QFF positions. I have already appointed Mr. Marchand as captain of the Port de Québec. Mr. Marchand for several years has not decided on his position on the third link. It was very difficult to convince that there is a nickel problem in Limoilou. Why Mr. Poirier decides to get started for QFF? It’s mysterious for me. “
Mr. Poirier will soon leave the presidency of the Vieux-Loimilou district council.
