Accused by Sam Hamad of being “desperate”the mayor of Quebec, Bruno Marchand, agreed to throw the gloves. He accused his main rival of saying “anything” instead of “relying on facts”.
Less than six months from the municipal ballot, the temperature rose a few degrees between the two politicians that the last survey, carried out in September 2024, place in the elbow for the race for Quebec town hall.
“If you play chess and say:” My lady, she flies then she pulls missiles “, we cannot play chess. We are in another paradigm, ”said the outgoing mayor while trying to ridicule his opponent.
According to him, “it doesn’t bode well for the future. If we cannot rely on facts, that everything is questionable and that we are only on impressions, that does not make great debates ”.
“Zero in three”
Bruno Marchand notably criticized his competitor for not based on “the facts” when he talks about the tram project. “He says there is no agreement: there is an agreement. He says he will not respect her: he is forced to respect her. He says there will be no fees, then there are. It’s zero in three, ”he laughed, smiling.
The mayor has also set a Quebec Priority team arrow (EPQ), which has two municipal elected officials and who is in advanced discussion with Leadership Québec, new party of Mr. Hamad.
“It is perhaps normal that there is a possible alliance with a Quebec priority team because they are other, in financial matters, they never embarrassed to say anything,” chained Mr. Marchand.

New deadlines
Crying that he has no control over the Sam Hamad program, the mayor of Quebec nevertheless pressed the former liberal minister to quickly make public the details of his mobility project so that there can be a debate on this subject. “I hope to see him. It would still be necessary to exist, he mocked. If he is not able to present it now, it also shows that he is not ready. ”
Stevens Mélançon, acting chief of EPQ, of the title of “spokesperson” by Sam Hamad, Bruno Marchand also returned to a declaration made Tuesday by Mr. Mélançon. The latter suggested that there will be citizen consultations on the transport project which will be presented by Mr. Hamad to ensure his “social acceptability”.
“Add that on time. It does not work under any experience made anywhere in Canada, “said the mayor, listing the multiple stages that should be taken later.
Tuesday evening, Mr. Hamad’s press secretary said to the Journal “Let us never speak of consultations with Mr. Mélançon”.
