Calgary is a city built on the back of Oil and Gas - the very first thing our city council did was declare a symbolic 'Climate Emergency' w/no real actionable plan behind it - this was just a poke in the eye of the companies who put Calgary on the map. How about you sit down with the various oil and gas execs and talk about things before banging down the gavel on a climate emergency declaration...
A bit off course here, Jyoti was also very vocal in her opposition to the newly agreed arena proposal, the first chance she had she starts forcing a bunch of nonsenical crap like adding solar panels (never agreed to in the initial framework), or the widened boulevards/sidewalks and insisting that CSEC pay for them. This increased scope allowed CSEC to walk from the deal, which was a fatal mistake as CSEC was contractually obligated to cover cost over runs, which were building up due to Covid issues....
One thing I will give Jyoti credit for is raising the budgetary share for the police force, rather than defunding it like our prior adminstration tried to...
