Gondek deflects responsibility on Calgary's failing critical infrastructure

FireGondek.com | Widely considered Canada's least popular mayor, Jyoti Gondek has instead increased taxes and avoided all accountability on Calgarians. More than 1.7 million residents and their businesses were at risk from a water main break last month.

She is truly the face of failure in Alberta atm. As an alcoholic and Christian I am utterly offended that a fellow human being would be told to drink beer not water. How sickening.

[@bobskaftfeld5611]

Who are the TOOLS who voted this WOKER in?

[@xmusicmanx1]

Women 😂

[@ryanb3908]

Fellow immigrants.

[@shawnb8658]

Do you really believe our elections are legit?

[@MadamePopova]

Vote counting machines. Danielle Smith has/is finally banning their use so we shall see what happens in 2025 when humans count the votes.

[@brunozachary]

The Calgarians who are too lazy to get out and vote.

[@danielleclare2938]

"Let me be clear" always means they are lying.

[@meowenstein]

Has she blamed the water main break on climate change yet?

[@mynameisradman]

Don't be racist!

[@BLAKHARTFILM]

@@mynameisradman What the hell does climate change have to do with race?

Thats what the big WEF show was about - no more growing food. There is lots of water - its a lie.

Gone!! Gone Gondek!!

[@dang2226]

Annabelle Gondak needs to be fired, then Sued!

[@Will-uo2lg]

Calgary people elected her..you get what you elect.

[@MizrahiChick]

Not enough people voted. It's a Canadian issue and needs to change ! Political complacency must stop .

[@CdnUltrasA.C.]

She was selected. Not elected.

[@CdnUltrasA.C.]

Calgary was aiming to have a straight, white male as a mayor, and "special interest groups" intervened and somehow selected a Muslim, female, anti-white mayor. Democracy is a farce.

[@grd1184]

I never voted for her and I’ll never vote anyone, all politicians are scum. I think of our political structure a circus, it’s out of date and needs to be modified.

[@trishdavies4168]

She was installed

[@Fadesign100]

Let me be clear Gondick, the people run the show not you this is Alberta not Wokeberta... Enjoy your term, it will be your one and only.

[@gerik2453]

What bottled water company are they working for???

[@canadiangirl5159]

Naheed Nenshi was in control of Calgary for a long time, before this Two Woke Box Checker was put in as Mayor. Calgary MUST be reminded that Nenshi is just as responsible for Calgary's failed infrastructure.

[@beasport505]

Completely agree. We can call them tweedle dee and tweedle dum

[@m.t.1616]

This is absurd a major city can’t go months without adequate water if they don’t fix this immediately I hope citizens sue the government.

[@derekfeltham8751]

7 days to flatten the curve, max.

[@garywagner2466]

It started with Barney the Purple Dinosaur who was so busy building monuments to his magnificence that he neglected infrastructure, and the water bureaucrats let him. Gondek carried on, redirecting billions into the climate bovine excrement fund and hiring more “strategic advisors” instead of actual workers. Then a pipe burst, which would normally be a two week repair job in a professionally run city. Not in Calgary. Two months. Still not done. Our water rates have been going up for more than a decade, and will skyrocket now. Heads should roll, but they won’t. Everyone will get their bonuses. Meanwhile, as usual, the taxpayers get shafted.

[@mrbill4206]

Another sad thing is that all of Canada could not supply the replacement pipe and it had to come from America because we build nothing here. Our country is helpless.

[@gallant00]

amazing what happens when a mayor is placed and not actually voted in.

[@MizrahiChick]

How do you mean ?

[@gallant00]

@MizrahiChick nobody knew he she was was and apparently won all wards.

[@dustyhedger380]

Puppets gonna do what a puppet's told to do !

This is the result of when only 10% of eligible Calgarians exercise their right to vote.

How did this women even get voted in ?

[@joankroll8091]

The Brown Vote.

[@lainepotter4817]

Hello from Calgary! I can tell you that the water restrictions were not fun. She raised the property taxes and gave everyone in city council a raise instead. Both her and the previous mayor Nieshi trashed Calgary. The previous mayor of Calgary is now the new NDP leader Ugh

[@mrbill4206]

He's Diverse Trudeau just like Sohi and the result will be the same.

[@sharondiaz137]

I pray to God this does not happen elsewhere in Canada. I live in Edmonton we have a woke mayor too so too close for comfort

[@dang2226]

These new mayors are all in it together with the W E F. Nenshi is the worst and now is NDP Leader, he destroyed Calgary and would destroy AB.

[@DK-fp7hc]

This was Nenshi's neglect of infrastructure .. some one should tell Goondek that even larger glasses would make her look more legitimate.

[@MizrahiChick]

That needs to be remembered as he runs for premiere .

[@S.W.A]

Gondek, Sohi and Smith. All need to go! Alberta can do WAY better.

[@deniseharrigan7885]

Off topic. Why is law enforcement wearing rain bow cross walks on their shoulders in Calgary? What part is neutral political messaging?

[@beasport505]

Exactly they should represent ALL people and be politically neutral

[@TonyBongo869]

Some of it’s even wooden…hm no, no it’s not. The aqueduct that provided water to Calgary prior to 1931 was wooden, get your facts straight

[@rolandsutter2451]

Political correctness should not supersede Maintenance

They’ve been talking about firing her since she was elected into office 😂 it’s gonna be a long stampede this year 😅

[@toddgraham8653]

Here comes that heat too. Look at the future forecast. We’re looking at some very hot and thirsty bulls and broncos , that heat dome is coming . It’s going to be around the 30’s . Ohhhh the humanity. Lawns will be baked dry primed for fire hazards , and this sweltering heat is going to be around all week for that greatest outdoor show on earth. Exciting. But it’s not really this current mayors fault , who was the last guy that neglected the same infrastructure? I would surely to goodness hope that his political future does not advance further. It would have been a bad idea to invest in the future when them oil taps were pouring lucrative profits into every Alberta residents pockets. Now them days are gone. This should be made clear to all provinces across Canada , that this example is neglect and greed at its best. You watch them billions pump into ole Ukraine and begin to see the future of Canada dwindling quicker than first imagined. It’s time to note all provinces better begin maintenance and upgrading regularly, in order to save future problems.

[@anythingforabuck]

Shouldn't some of the blame go towards the previous mayor?

[@beasport505]

Yes, definitely they are both major liberal WEF puppets. It was planned this way

[@markblaine7460]

I want Dan Mclean to run for mayor!

[@cindersspace5011]

[@kennethmelnychuk9737]

While it is easier to blame a previous governments, it’s better optics to assume responsibility and make amends

[@jamesmcnaughton6884]

It would be wise to ask about Nenshi’s part in all of this

[@beasport505]

Exactly he's a WEF and Gondik is continuing the destruction of calgary and Alberta

[@otc-x1-b9]

... and the pieces of pipe coming from USA California.... Where are they..

[@1951shine]

Guess she shouldn’t have spent millions on a piece of metal when you should have put it to infrastructure. She’s such a disgrace

[@Aitch-102]

Passes a law to increase density by 33% and then tells everyone there's not enough water...🤣 She's a micro-manager at best.

[@Tiger-zo2gn]

You had a chance to get rid of her with the recall. You failed. The people have made their choice twice.

This is what happens when you have corporate tied governments, no money for public. Thank your conservatives for that

[@dang2226]

Nenshi a conservative😂, Gondak a Conservative😂. Who did the NDP just elect as thier leader😂

[@TheKenchambers]

Sorry Rebel News. Everydecent size city in North America is in the same place. All infrastructure is getting old and it is impossible to maintain in the long term

[@Howdoyoupurr]

Why do people keep refering to her as part of the left? Yes I’m ignorant. And I’m also curious

[@MizrahiChick]

Her priorities have been already overworked social justice issues rather than a realistic approach to what a city needs . Drag shows were a priority at a point , shutting down public concern with threats of arrests. She has just dog whistled again with her " British colonialism " comment. The Ottoman colonialism is not mentioned, I notice .

[@Imiss80sn90s]

All of Canada is left unfortunately, "conservatives" are just centre left/libertarians, yesterdays Liberals.. but she is in lockstep with Trudeau, WEF and all that nonsense, wheras most of Canada, despite being quite Liberal or Libertarian, is not progressive, revolutionary radical leftist like she and tbe Trudeau caucus are

[@beasport505]

Her education background for one is ALL about socialism. Socialism ALWAYS leads to communism. She soends mote time AND money on specialty groups and ideology instead of focusing on what she's supposed to like infrastructure , maintenance and making sure the MAJORITY of people concerns are addressed. She has secretly signed contracts with JT and in exchange gets fed $$ . She did NOT disclose any of these deals to the public or allow Any feedback from city residents. She is following exactly the 2030 agenda. You will own nothing and you will rent or be so heavily taxed you won't own anything. Find people who lived through this, you'll get a rude awakening

[@user-yy9lc8ff2r]

“Some of the pipes are wooden” why do we pay so much tax?

[@CdnUltrasA.C.]

She was right when she said "if it's brown, flush it down".

[@Dimon-ft9sq]

We need election
