Best of MTL 2014 cover

Ah yes, #qc2014. Quite a few of the winners in these categories reflect the timing of this year’s Best of MTL voting period with the provincial election, and to some degree they reflect our audience’s political leanings — there’s a lot of love for Québec solidaire, and hate for Pauline Marois and Philippe Couillard and Denis Coderre in almost equal measure, though neither our new Premier nor our new-ish Mayor made Most Desirable the way Pauline Marois did (we suspect her appearance there was more perverse than genuine). Of course your love for JT, Ms. Paré and P.K. are unending, as is your appreciation of the Plateau. But west-enders should take some satisfaction in seeing NDG pull ahead of Mile End in the Best Neighbourhood category this year. Fuck yeah.
