LAVAL, Que. — A mayor’s 23-year reign running the city next to Montreal has drawn to a close.
Embroiled in a provincewide corruption scandal, the mayor of Laval, Que., has announced his resignation.
Gilles Vaillancourt, who since 1989 has run the suburb with little competition, says he doesn’t deserve to have his reputation tarnished but he says the damage is already done.
