Vote 2015 – Ville-Marie–Le Sud-Ouest–Île-des-Soeurs
CPAC’s Philippe Murat visits the Quebec riding of Ville-Marie–Le Sud-Ouest–Îles-des-Sœurs. Created by the latest redrawing of the electoral map, Ville-Marie—Le-Sud-Ouest–Îles-des-Sœurs includes a large portion of the former riding of Jeanne-Le-Ber. The riding is at the very heart of Montreal’s urban core. Thousands of workers commute there and back daily, and this has made transport infrastructure, such as the Champlain Bridge file, an election issue. Candidates vying for this seat include the NDP’s Allison Turner, a human rights lawyer; the Conservative party’s Steve Shanahan, a city councillor representing Montreal’s Peter McGill district; the Liberal party’s Marc Miller, a lawyer working in the mergers and acquisitions field for a major Montreal firm; the Bloc Quebecois’s Chantal St-Onge, a teacher with the Commission scolaire Rivière-du-Nord school board; the Green party’s Daniel Green, an environmentalist; and the Communist party’s William Sloan, also a lawyer.
