Why vote for an independent candidate?
Convinced as I am that following a party
line is not the best way to go these days, I decided to offer my services to
the community as councillor, along with Jules Piette and Sébastien Landry who,
if they are elected, also wish to remain free spirits. In the preceding
mandate, I was mainly in charge of Culture and Communications. However, in my
opinion, I found regrettable that several important decisions were taken
without all the councillors being informed. Several other issues were completely
neglected, although they had been designated as priorities. How can councillors
defend and protect the interests of the community in such a context? As is
demonstrated by the break-up of our former team, politics should not be a
one-person affair. In all items under discussion, each councillor should be
able to voice his own opinions freely, that is without being tied to a party
line. Furthermore, we believe that ease of communication as well as
transparency should be an integral part of community management. I will certainly
strongly defend this position while believing that freely achieved consensus will
always best serve community interests.
The next Council needs to find a better way of
balancing opinions, and personally, I will be happy to work with any of the
other councillors, regardless of their party affiliation. I feel ready for
concrete action, and I believe that voters should choose each candidate for his
individual strengths. In addition, I think that a better representation of women
in the next council is of utmost importance.
In order to limit the production of printed
documents, we intend to communicate regularly through social media. Thus you
can communicate with all of us through our respective Facebook pages.
