I'll admit that I did not follow the platforms that closely, but in discussions I have had, most feel that she did indicate things like declaring a climate emergency, or reevaluating the new event center project. Besides that, I couldn't even tell you one thing she has been doing the last few months.

Don't forget Gondek wanting to spend 100K of Calgarian taxpayer money to fund a legal challenge at a Quebec provincial law.

And once that was met with utter anger, the city chose to fund a city task force on how to still publicly fund this legal challenge in other ways.
The city task force heavily recommended against using public funds

So what has the city done under mayor Gondek?
- Declared climate change emergency
- Pledged 100K of taxpayer money to fund legal battle against Quebec
- Played a part in the torpedoing of the arena deal and resorted to air the dirty laundry on twitter
- Added street harassment bylaw
Meanwhile, a woman was attacked with a knife in Prince's Island Park in the morning, we have an epidemic of catalyst converter thefts, the beltline is held hostage every week by freedumb fighters, the C-train is overrun by aggressive meth heads where the half assed solution was to close the station shelters, east village has become a dangerous tent city.
She needs to manage city issues that matter to Calgarians but she seems to be campaigning for a federal job and seems more interested in Twitter flashiness. Her approval rating should come as no surprise.
Hopefully we get some actions from her that matter more to everyday Calgarian lives (which is what people who voted for her felt she was going to do).
