MONTREAL — Denis Coderre believes he and the Quebec Liberals can both rise from the ashes.
After a decades-long career in federal and municipal politics, the former Montreal mayor on Friday set his sights on the third level of government, becoming the first candidate to officially seek the leadership of the Quebec Liberal party.
"I have 40 years of experience in politics. I've always loved this party," he said."It's important that we come together again." Coderre's announcement Friday had been expected for months, but he waited to make his candidacy official while making a pilgrimage along the Camino de Santiago in Spain."It's important above all to find oneself," he said,"and then to think of the future of the Quebec nation."
