Montreal is at a crossroads — and this election will decide whether our city continues to stumble through over-regulation and endless roadwork, or reclaims the efficient, proud urban spirit that once defined it.
After years of grand visions without execution, Soraya Martinez Ferrada stands out as the one candidate who combines compassion with competence.
From Ottawa to City Hall: A Proven Operator
Martinez Ferrada isn’t an armchair reformer. As a former federal cabinet minister, she managed real budgets and complex projects. Now she’s bringing that same focus to municipal government under the Ensemble Montréal banner.
Her message is simple: get things done. Fewer headlines, more results.
The Platform of Pragmatism
While others chase slogans, Ferrada’s plan is pragmatic and measurable:
- Fix the basics first. Restore clean, functional public spaces and responsive city services.
- Clean up transit. Improve safety and reliability before launching new expansions.
- Address housing with urgency. Cut through bureaucracy and accelerate non-market construction.
- Trim city hall’s fat. Eliminate 1,000 redundant positions to make public spending more effective.
These aren’t radical ideas — they’re common sense, something that’s been missing at City Hall for too long.
Compassion Without Chaos
Ferrada understands that social policy and fiscal responsibility are not opposites. A city can be humane and efficient. Her plan tackles homelessness and transit security through better coordination, not just more money.
Where other candidates talk ideology, she talks logistics — and logistics are what make a city livable.
An Inclusive Montréal for All Languages and Cultures
For anglophones and allophones who sometimes feel left out of Québec’s cultural debate, Ferrada offers balance. She values French as Montreal’s unifying language but refuses to turn language into a political weapon.
Her tone is inclusive, bilingual, and forward-looking — the true Montréal spirit.
The Clear Choice for 2025
This election isn’t about left or right — it’s about maturity versus chaos. Ferrada is the steady hand our city needs: fiscally smart, socially grounded, and deeply pragmatic.
If you’re tired of ideology masquerading as governance, if you want competence over chaos, it’s time to back Soraya Martinez Ferrada.
She’s not promising miracles. She’s promising results — and that’s revolutionary enough.
