The announcement that Denis Coderre is considering the leadership of the Liberal Party of Quebec (PLQ) constitutes a windfall for the media and he knows it, missing no opportunity to summon them or to be invited. […] He’s only just thinking about it, and we’ve already heard endless news about his stroke, his health and his rehabilitation. Each word, well prepared and rehearsed profusely, aims to touch us. His speech, his personal problems, his cane and, above all, his future walk to Compostela, where he will “go and clear his head”. But isn’t the void already there? Because finally, what idea does he defend, apart from wanting to be a leader? He does not support any cause and does not campaign anywhere, he wants to be leader. Not an MP, not in opposition, just a leader. Anywhere. He would have liked to go to the Liberal Party of Canada, but there was Trudeau in the running, so he chose town hall. Since his defeat, his departure, his return then his defeat, he has been bored and has been looking at job offers. He has just spotted that of the PLQ. Will he do like in the municipal world, where it is customary to rename the party in his name? After all, his program is him!
