Information about the candidates in Saint-Leonard
- Ralliement de Saint-Léonard
- Maurice Benoît (Ward Ten) was first elected to the Saint-Leonard council in the 1982 municipal election, winning as a Équipe du renouveau de la cité de Saint-Léonard candidate in the city's twelfth ward.[3] He joined the newly formed Ralliement de Saint-Léonard in 1984 and was re-elected under its banner for the tenth ward in 1986. In May 1988, he joined seven other RdSL councillors, including future mayor Frank Zampino, in resigning from the party to sit as independents.[4] Benoît was not returned to council in the 1990 election.
- Unité de Saint-Léonard
- Luigi Tesolin (Ward Six) was a thirty-eight-year-old engineer, running in his first election.[5]
- Quintino Cimaglia (Ward Eight) was a forty-six-year-old entrepreneur, running in his first election.[6]
- Équipe démocratique de Saint-Léonard
- Yvon Desrochers (Ward Three) was a forty-nine-year-old grocery wholesaler in 1986. He had previously chaired the Commission scolaire Jérôme-Le Royer from 1977 to 1980 and remained a member of the commission until 1983. In the 1982 municipal election, he ran unsuccessfully as a Union municipale de Saint-Léonard candidate.[7]
- Giovanni Sardo (Ward Six) ran for the Saint-Leonard city council in 1978 as a Parti civique candidate and in 1986 for the Équipe démocratique. He was defeated both times. Sardo was sixty years old in 1986 and identified as a travel agent.[8]
- Micheline Neveu-Dumontet (Ward Seven) was a forty-seven-year-old public servant. She had previously been a candidate in the 1982 Saint-Leonard election, running for the Parti de l'alliance municipale (PAM).[9]
- Antonio Barretta (Ward Eight) was a thirty-six-year-old salesman in 1986. He was a first-time political candidate.[10]
- Jules Lauzon (Ward Ten) was an engineer.[11] He was elected to the Saint-Leonard city council in 1978 as a candidate of the Parti de l'alliance municipale (PAM), which won a narrow majority on council. He ran for re-election in 1982 and was defeated by Pierre Paquet. He was later appointed to a vacant seat on the Commission scolaire Jérôme-Le Royer in January 1985 and emerged as an opponent of commission chair Dominic Perri.[12] He attempted to change the board's summer hiring policy in 1987, charging that it was plagued by nepotism.[13] He sought re-election to the Saint-Leonard council as an Équipe démocratique candidate in 1986 and was narrowly defeated.[14] He did not seek re-election to the school commission in 1987.[15]
- Jacques Amyot (Ward Twelve) was a forty-three-year-old employee of the Montreal Urban Community Transit Corp..[16]
- Rassemblement des citoyens et citoyennes de Saint-Léonard
- Liborio (Bob) Sciascia (Ward Five) was a thirty-eight-year-old accountant.[17] He is not to be confused with a different Liborio Sciascia, who was killed in a mafia-related shooting in 2010.
- Paolo Gervasi (Ward Six) was a fifty-eight-year-old realtor.[18] He is not to be confused with a different Paolo Gervasi, who was killed in a gangland-style execution in 2004.
- Rosario Ortona (Ward Eight), a school teacher, was thirty-nine years old in 1986.[19] He was elected to the Saint-Leonard city council in the 1978 municipal election as a candidate of Michel Bissonnet's Équipe du renouveau de la cité de Saint-Léonard. He later left this party to join the Union municipale de Saint-Léonard and was defeated under its banner in the 1982 election. Subsequently, Ortona became Union municipale's leader and ran as its mayoral candidate in a 1984 by-election; he was defeated by Raymond Renaud. Renaud and seven councillors launched a $423,000 libel suit against Ortona and his official agent after the election; the suit related to campaign advertisements from Ortona's team that criticized a land deal approved by the city.[20] Newspaper accounts do not indicate how this matter was resolved. Ortona worked to create a united opposition party in Saint-Leonard during this period, and shortly before the 1986 election he dissolved his party to join the Rassemblement des citoyens et citoyennes de Saint-Léonard.[21] In 2000, he was hired as adult education director for the English Montreal School Board.[22]
- Michelangelo Cannistraro (Ward Twelve) was a forty-eight-year-old company manager.[23]
