Saint-Leonard Information on candidates in suburban communities Independents Joseph Mormina is a Montreal entrepreneur. He sought election to the Saint-Leonard city council in 1978 and 1982 as a candidate of the Équipe du renouveau de la cité de Saint-Léonard and was narrowly defeated both times. When his party fragmented in 1984, Mormina joined the Action civique de Saint-Léonard and supported Domenico Moschella's bid to become mayor of Saint-Leonard in a municipal by-election."Case delayed in suit against St. Leonard by ex-secretary," Montreal Gazette, May 22, 1986, p. 6. Raymond Renaud won the by-election and subsequently fired Mormina's wife, who worked a secretary in the mayor's office. She later charged Renaud with wrongful dismissal. Action civique later folded into Unité de Saint-Léonard, and Mormina ran unsuccessfully for the latter party in the 1986 municipal election.Mormina was thirty-eight years old during this election. "St. Leonard party unites defectors and former rivals," Montreal Gazette, October 9, 1986, p. 8. He ran as an independent in 1994.
