Plante campaigned on her record leading Montreal during the pandemic and promised to focus on fighting climate change and building more social housing.

Denis Coderre says he's running again against the woman who made him a one-term mayor in 2017.

A group of Haitian Montrealers is appealing to federal and municipal authorities to block an upcoming concert by former Haitian president Michel Martelly, citing what they say are his misogynistic comments and his alleged complicity in corruption scandals.

Victoria councillors are considering tightening city regulations governing horse-drawn carriage tours, but that's not enough for at least one council member who says it's time to put the downtown rides out to pasture.
