Mr. Bigot,
your show, and has been for a long time, is one of the most popular on Radio-Canada. With the lightness that you can give him, the humor that you distill, the multiplicity of your players to give the necessary perspective to a subject, and above all the camaraderie that emerges, this recognition n is also not fly.
We may not always agree with you. But how many of us did this happen to put you in the bag "Fatal", you better get out in one hour because with a discovery which only you are capable, you "buy back".
But this Saturday, on the stroke of 10:15 am, you've inflicted a shock in addressing the hot topic of the moment in Montreal political, namely the issue of parking on the Plateau Mont-Royal. You've interviewed Mr. Patenaude, a trader fiercely opposed the plan proposed by the current administration. It is opposed, it is his right. Besides, he is not alone of course.
After a voice as violent against the plan, it was entitled to expect a vote against it. But after Mr. Patenaude had done with his gross errors, his little arrangements with the truth, not to mention his obvious lies ... nothing. Not content to leave it all mix happily (So why is the snow in a debate on parking meters?), You do not even pretending to play devil's advocate, what you know so well, however usually .
Do not be surprised that we ask several questions, starting with this: where is the rigor in your interview?
Have you even traveled that the parking plan in question? Are you therefore able to note that according to Mr. Patenaude were being widely exaggerated or a tangle of lies and bad faith?
Bad faith on which, liable up person, you have red carpet.
To give you a quick picture of this parking plan, here are some facts:
- removal of 1,500 seats on 3 years on more than 24,000 currently available free, it's a big 0.5% less per year, and only to come into compliance with provincial regulations (release of intersection). Who was there to put this into perspective?
- increase the hourly rate: in all urban centers in the world is borne out, starting with the Montreal a rate increase does not flee the store customers, rather it is "turn" faster cars parked. Plateau, as quasi-downtown, is grappling with thousands of cars "suckers" who monopolize a free seat all day, preventing a customer comes to shop targeted to park easily. Maintaining free places, the city denies a segment of customers for businesses.
- pricing of residential streets: standardization and expansion of existing areas of vignettes residents. Because you do not seem to know, but it is often the first victims of the residents over use of public domain by cars unnecessary. The new stamps are the same price as today, will allow residents of residential streets adjacent to commercial streets more easily find a parking ... through the rotation discussed above.
And yet, it is only the points raised by Mr. Patenaude. There's still a lot to say, for example, that representatives of merchants had begun to give their agreement to this plan. Why? Because 30% of revenues generated would be donated to the CDC. Obviously, this is something he has refrained from mentioning ... However, if he knew it. He was visibly simply repeated the lies inscribed on the placard in almost all the windows against the mayor of the Plateau Ferrandez in the purest style "wild west" shows that we take, we, residents and clients * *, between the hammer and anvil. We do not yet have less value than any other customer under the simple pretext that we are not coming by car, quite the contrary.
But who will believe us when we cry out as loudly as possible that this plan is a restoration of balance? We're * for * the rate increase? See, nobody has its full assessment can only be for an increase. While both n'interviewer person in opposition to this short-sighted shopping, you could pass for a fool ...
You see, this is a fight quite unbalanced. Because of both opponents, only one is relayed by the media, and that this case they maintain a bias revolting - articles based on misinformation, not giving interviews to speak to only one party.
On Saturday morning we were sorry - the word is very weak - that even you, you were doing the settling of scores.
