Justin Trudeau’s star may have fallen a bit with the SNC-Lavalin affair — which topped the Most Heinous Scandal category and propelled him into the Slimiest Politician Top 5 for the first time — but not enough to prevent the majority of you from voting him Hottest Montrealer (again). Our mayor bested Trudeau in the Best Politician category, while François Legault won Slimiest Politician by a landslide — the only election he’ll ever win with Montrealers. Nightlife columnist and social media personality Murphy Cooper campaigned hard, winning the Best-dressed category here and making #2 Best Instagram account in the Media section. The influence of Cooper’s friends and fans had a secondary effect on the poll, however, bringing Verdun (#4 Best Neighbourhood) and Verdun businesses into the spotlight — his #VERDUNLUV hashtag has attracted many residents of the Southwest hood to his cause.
