April fools joke or not, it gave me great joy when I read about your desire to run for mayor.  I feel that Montreal needs someone like you who sees the chaos, controversy, dilemmas, and anxiety this city imposes on its residents.

Much like yourself, I believe that this city is truly a special place and with the right guidance, it could very well regain its former glory.  I am a staunch supporter of your candidacy and hope that, April fools or not, you do it and make a difference.

Hope Beryl is giving serious thought to running for Mayor. How refreshing would that be, an honest guy who cares about the good of the city and its citizens.
 
Good luck!

I want to congratulate Beryl on his potential candidacy. The Mayor of Montreal is a difficult position, but he is the best candidate

I think it is a good idea for Beryl to run.  He has the profile, the support and the knowledge.  I’m ready to help.

I say , “Go Beryl Go”.It takes courage , motivation, and determination

You are an excellent candidate for the job

But don't forget :  C'est le peuple qui vote , pas les journaux ,pas les propriaitaires  de commerces

Bonne Chance

Beryl Wajsman should run for mayor and in the event he wins, be given the authority to oversee the Montreal Island English school boards that are really dysfunctional. This idea is not far-fetched. Mayors have control over the school systems in Boston, New York and Chicago. Last Saturday, US Secretary of Education spoke at the National School Boards Association convention in California. The nation's top educator suggested that big-city mayors step up their involvement in failing school systems. The culture of arrogance, negligence, and extravagance of the QESBA needs to be reined in and I think Beryl Wajsman, as mayor, is the person to do it.

Just heard of your candidacy.  I can think of no better person for the job.

Kudos to Beryl.. I sincerely hope he gets it... I don't know of anyone who would do a better job!!        Marilynn Vanderstaay

As an activist of long ago, I was elated to read in today's issue of the Suburban that someone is willing to stand up for the rights of the individual against the tyranny of government. I laud Beryl for his courage.

I only hope, if he is elected (touch wood!),  that his present good intentions do not get swamped by the pressures of the post and that the civil servants make sure that you hear only good things. I could name a few politicians that I had occasion to know, who faded after a while of being elected.

I am an old retired engineer who also was at one time shaken from my critic's armchair to act. Since I enjoy the memories and think up all sorts of schemes trying to improve the ways that we live.

Be assured of my support and willingness to participate if desired.

It was great to read The Suburban today. If there is any way I can assist Beryl in his drive to bring Montreal out of its cave of bureaucratic overkill and self-serving laws, I am there.

Right on!!! Go for it!

Admitting my self interest - bring the Grand Prix back to Montreal.

Best of luck!

 We presently have no choice at City Hall. Politicians have replaced “doers and care-ers”!! I think Beryl would make a super choice although I fear be might well be afflicted by the Michael Sabia-syndrome of not being “pure laine” enough for many of the city’s constituents!

 I would love to see him  make a run for it…. And would even be prepared to do my small part if called upon!

                              A l ‘attaque, M. Wajsman!!

Good luck on this.  From what you write I think we have a great many things in common.  Glad to see you taking a stand.
