Municipal Reform of the Island of Montreal: Tensions Between Two Majority Groups in a Multicultural City
|
| Abstract |
On January 1, 2002, all the municipalities on the island of Montreal were merged into the City of Montreal, although some of those municipalities became independent cities again on January 1, 2006. The authors examine how the 2002 merger of twenty-nine municipalities on the island of Montreal into a single city composed of twenty-seven boroughs modified relations between the city's two linguistic groups and, more specifically, the capacity of English Montrealers to control their institutions and daily affairs. The authors examine whether the political transformation, which involved the disappearance of municipalities, some of which were governed by Anglophones, followes the trend observed in Quebec since the 1960s involving a loss of Anglophone institutions, organizational capacity, and spheres of autonomy.
