I know her reasonably well. She genuinely wants to make a good difference in this city. She is VERY smart and she is not as full of herself as Nenshi, whose main interest in Council seemed to be in a debate itself for the sake of debating most of the time.
Having said that, Gondek's initial actions and initiatives to-date are incredibly dumb for a politician: unpopular, misdirected and unfocused. She will have to learn fast. My guess, we will soon hear some about-face comments and small-scale "discount offerings", which CSEC is likely going to reject anyway.
