About Denis Coderre
Denis Coderre is a Canadian politician who served as the 44th mayor of Montreal from 2013 to 2017. In January 2006, Doan sued Coderre for character defamation seeking $250,000 in damages with Doan promising to donate all damages awarded to charities to benefit Canadians. Coderre won re-election to the House of Commons in 2006, but the Liberals lost the campaign and became the official opposition. In Coderre's first press conference after resigning as Quebec lieutenant, he criticized Ignatieff's aides, all of whom were from Toronto. In a surprise, Coderre lost the mayoral race to Valérie Plante, making her the first female elected Mayor for the city of Montréal.
