Hélène Fotopoulos is ineffective; must be removed from office

Hélène Fotopoulos is a member of the Executive Committee in Montreal and Council President for the borough of Plateau Mont Royal. Throughout this whole debacle, she has remained silent. She has refused to hear the outcry from her own borough. She has turned a blind eye to the whole event. Clearly she is an ineffective and unresponsive representative.

Her job, as elected by us, the voting public, is to voice our concerns and to stand up for us. She has done neither. She has allowed Gerald Tremblay to order the name change, without any opposition, without any public consultation, without any regard whatsoever for the people and lives it will effect.

As concerned citizens of Montreal and especially the Plateau/Outremont community, our voice has not been heard. Moreover, it seems the louder we yell, the less our elected representatives listen.

But this can only last for so long. This must be Hélène Fotopoulos' last term in office. She has shown time and again that she simply does not care about her community, does not listen to her community, and will not act for the benefit of her community.

We will be petitioning en masse against Hélène Fotopoulos and her indifference towards the proposed Park Avenue name change. We will be soliciting support throughout the community and the Park Avenue name change will not occur!
