That's not counting the CSEC debacle and voicing the dirty laundry on Twitter and just the top of my head of notable ones (city declaring climate emergency doesn't fall in that list even though it certainly could).

I can't really think of much that she has had a hand in that I could go and think "good job, this was made better by her involvement". That is a stark contrast from Nenshi, who for good or worse, was very active and I thought was a very good effective mayor.

It's always felt like she's been campaigning for a federal political job using her position to do so, not acting as a municipal mayor or in the best interest of Calgarians. It's also debatable on if housing rezoning is overall more beneficial.

She's only done those 6 things?
