Denis Coderre

Denis Coderre: Coderre announced Tuesday his intention to make former journalist Philippe Schnobb head of the STM, according to CTV. Bergeron was among the critics of Coderres decision, saying Schnobb, a former Radio Canada journalist, doesnt have the experience to run the organization, which is trying to increase its ridership and is dealing with a predicted deficit of $60 million for 2014 and In his first council meeting as mayor, Denis Coderre faced criticism over an appointment that some consider a prime example of political patronage. Schnobb ran for city councillor as part of Equipe Denis Coderre in Ville Maries St. Jacques district, but lost by 36 votes to Projet Montreal leader Richard Bergeron. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
