I think she's wanted to get out of the deal from the get-go, and upon becoming mayor started thinking of ways to make it unpalatable to the CSEC and making them take the blame for it while looking good for herself - "I stood up against the billionaires".
I have no love for the CSEC billionaires, but this particular negotiation has a political motivation to it on Gondek's side.
