MONTREAL — Outgoing Montreal mayor Denis Coderre says he has no regrets as he bids farewell to his political career three days after his stunning defeat by Valerie Plante. The former Liberal MP and cabinet minister, who was elected mayor in 2013, campaigned largely on his record. He managed to increase his share of the popular vote from his 2013 score, but still fell short against Plante. Despite his defeat, Coderre says he remains just as optimistic about the future of Montreal. Plante, 43, is the first woman to be elected mayor of the city.
