'I'm really proud of our campaign': Craig Sauvé looks back at Transition Montréal's campaign
Q: Could you have seen yourself as part of Ensemble Montreal under Soraya?
I don't think so. I think our values are a little bit too far off, honestly.
'I'm really proud of our campaign': Craig Sauvé looks back at Transition Montréal's campaign
Q: Were you surprised with Soraya's win?

I'm going to continue working with Transition Montreal over the next little while to see how we can build the movement between elections. I have to find a way to pay the rent, so I'll look for something that aligns with my values.
