Hey there, time traveller!

MONTREAL – Luc Rabouin has been elected leader of Projet Montréal, the governing party at city hall, and will succeed Valérie Plante and run for mayor in municipal elections in November.
Rabouin, the mayor of the Plateau-Mont-Royal borough and president of the city’s executive committee, beat out four other candidates to secure the leadership on Saturday.
Plante will remain mayor until November’s election but Rabouin immediately assumes the role of party leader.
She announced she would not run for a third term last October saying she was unable to commit to the same level of energy for another four years.
Rabouin will be challenged by Soraya Martinez Ferrada, a former Liberal cabinet minister who was chosen by Ensemble Montréal, the opposition party at city hall, to lead its party and be its mayoral candidate.
Municipal elections will be held in all Quebec municipalities on Nov. 2.
