The legacy of Jean Doré
Jean Doré, the mayor of Montreal from 1986 to 1994, has died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 70. Doré and the Montreal Citizens’ Movement, the party he helped found, are widely credited with bringing openness and democracy to municipal politics following the long reign of Jean Drapeau.
