Chicoutimi under the dictatorship of the winter. Photos of the author, December 3, 2009. It must still admit that our misfortune may be worse! ... 
Following my last open letter published Wednesday in The Daily, I obviously had several reactions, by email, those who do not wear the mayor of Saguenay in their heart. Including teachers of UQAC denouncing his ... "fiscal populism" (!). As I am not the man to let me berate idly by and for me to confess that I abhor the speech simplistic and unanimous, I corrected myself to make everything clear between us. When I roundly on the ignorance of the municipal administration, when I chasten the mediocrity of his approach to historic preservation, I castigated the incompetence of our planning department and I denounced horn and the arrogance of the mayor cries view proponents of the name of Chicoutimi I am involved. When I hold this kind of discourse that amuses you and your business does well, you (my last email) I never cease to praise you and you pop the champagne. You who know so much about everything and nothing, I never thought it necessary to remind you that the mayor and council are not there to redistribute wealth collective responsibility that is higher levels of government. They are elected simply to allow citizens to receive the best possible municipal services at the lowest possible cost, to protect its heritage and make it grow in the extreme.

Not require great courage to say this here, since criticism is unanimous and it will not punish you in the newspapers.
In these circumstances, I would say we have a choice between English apartment in Montreal where the administration awash in scandals and abuses, or a village hall run by a mayor "populist" who certainly does not lace to go where he wants to go without asking your opinion. If, in one way or another, citizens benefit from it and it is massively satisfied, where is the drama? To make him understand you, good people, it is not that municipal taxes have been kept to the lowest level possible in the context of forced amalgamation
... In this day and run fast, there is much talk of municipal democracy and dictatorship at the Hotel de Ville de Saguenay (sic). For me, it does not move me at all! I know the value of words and I find you very unwise to downplay such concepts. But what is democracy if it is as another way to legitimize a dictatorship? Here is the people who appointed her dictator there, it is the army that does the job. In both cases the other is the power to decide on the number one back into the hands of a single ...
