While ignoring crime for well over a year, Gondek saw it as far more pressing for her to call a municipal “climate emergency,” attack the police for moving illegal homeless encampments, and of course, pass a bylaw preventing people from protesting drag queen story hour events.
The Calgary Police Service can already barely keep up with the rise in crime, and Gondek continues to misappropriate police resources to enforce increasingly foolish bylaws. Coming up soon police and bylaw officers may also start wasting their time making sure businesses are not using plastic bags…
In Gondek’s Calgary, it’s as if muggings are just a secondary concern as long as the perpetrator makes it clear the victim got their teeth knocked in and their wallet stolen for non-bigoted reasons.
Mayor Jody Gondek’s governance of Calgary has been so far disastrous, but at the very least it is proving the point even more clearly than Naheed Nenshi’s time as mayor, that fashionable left-wing public policy just doesn’t work.
