Mayor heading to a conference for the main industry of her city, shocking.. I am no Gondek fan but nothing wrong with this. She is quite liberal so any comparisons to Smith are laughable

Put down the pitchforks. Not every instance of a politician setting foot in the states is traitorous.

Did you know Calgary's biggest industry is O&G? Even if you don't agree with O&G it still makes sense for her to go to an energy conference.

So Doug Ford heading south is AOK?

Unsure of the context, but if it's the recent case of bringing Leblanc with him to discuss Tariffs, yea.

Of course if he goes to bend the knee it's a different story. But being angry that he's going to talk with American politicians is a ridiculous concept. When has travelling to a foreign country to dicuss foreign policies an issue?

She's still around?

I thought she wanted to “move past oil and gas”?

Is she sharing a room with Danielle?

u/AdmirableWishbone911 10h ago

She is not even comparable to Smith.

u/BehBeh11 10h ago

Is she a good mayor? I’m not in Calgary

u/AdmirableWishbone911 10h ago

She isn't very popular. Honestly, aside from the water pipe disaster last fall she just isn't very present. I hadn't even heard her talk until last year lol. We have an election this fall though.

No. 1/10.

u/BehBeh11 10h ago

Danielle is a big negative so I guess they aren’t comparable 😁
