“Some say the mayor simply has too much baggage to cross the finish line first in this mayor’s race.”
— Rick Bell, Calgary Sun

Baggage?
Mayor Jyoti Gondek isn’t just carrying bags — she is the WestJet lost luggage department.

She’s the gift that keeps on taking:

• Your tax dollars

• Your patience

• Your trust

• And Calgary? She’s taken us for a ride with no brakes, no steering wheel, and no idea where we’re going

🎬 Let’s Rewind the Greatest Hits

🥇 Olympic Bid Flip-Flop

Back when she was a city councillor, Gondek was for the Nenshi-led Olympic bid.
Then she was against it… unless you were for it, in which case she was neutral.

Clear as mud.

🚇 Green Line: $5 Billion Fantasy

Gondek promised shovels in the ground.

What did we get?

• More studies than an overcaffeinated PhD student

• Eau Claire families expropriated

• And still… no train

You’ll see the Hogwarts Express before the Green Line rolls into town.

🏙️ Downtown: Bike Lanes & Boarded-Up Dreams

Let’s be honest:
Downtown Calgary is a ghost town.
What did we get in return? More bike lanes to nowhere and slogans on empty buildings.

🏒 Flames Arena Fiasco

Ah yes, the arena deal that wasn’t:

• She cancelled a signed deal

• Brought it back later

• At a higher price

That’s like ordering a pizza, canceling it, then paying double for cold leftovers.

🌱 Climate Strategy Hypocrisy

Remember the multi-billion-dollar climate plan?

Meanwhile, city crews idle diesel trucks, burning fuel while telling you to cut your carbon footprint.

Do as she says, not as she governs.

🏗️ Bridge Burner-in-Chief

A relationship with the province?
Gone.

She’d rather sneer on Twitter than sit down with Edmonton and get things done.

She burns bridges then blames the ashes for not being walkable.

🚿 Showers, Sewers, and Shambles

Where’s your tax money going?

Because it’s not going to:

• Basic maintenance

• Water infrastructure

• Reliable services

Last summer, Calgarians were told to ration showers and skip toilet flushes.

Pay more. Get less.
And be lectured for complaining.

🛑 Calgary Can’t Afford Four More Years of This

Mayor Gondek turns every decision into:

• A bloated saga

• A price hike

• And a public relations mess

✈️ Final Word: Time to Pack Her Bags

Calgary doesn’t need another term of spin, stalling, and sticker shock.

We need:

• Leadership that costs less

• Results that matter

• Accountability that doesn’t deflect

It’s time we stop rewarding failure with four more years.
Let’s pack that baggage and send it straight to the lost-and-never-found pile.
