Episode Notes At the first debate of the city’s mayoral campaign, bike lanes took centre stage, with Ensemble Montreal’s Soraya Martinez Ferrada suggesting that citizens concerned around safety aren’t being heard by Projet Montreal’s city hall. Martinez Ferrada attended Tuesday night’s debate, at the Grande Bibliothèque auditorium, alongside Projet Montreal’s Luc Rabouin and Transition Montreal’s Craig Sauvé. The debate was structured around how citizens can be brought into local democracy – especially those most marginalized by the process. The candidates all advocated for including the excluded, but were less forthcoming on exactly which underrepresented groups the city has the duty to prioritize in decision-making.
