Calgary mayor Jyoti Gondek is back to her nutty anti-gas proposals, even as Canadians face the greatest fuel crisis in our nation’s history.
Despite gas in BC already exceeding $2.00 per litre in BC, and Premier Kenney needing to slash the provincial gas tax to counteract Trudeau’s carbon tax on fuel, Gondek hasn’t missed a beat in her quest to destroy Alberta’s most valuable resource.
According to Gondek, though she is not in charge of provincial policy, she feels it’s necessary to “lead by example” to arrive at a “net-zero” carbon impact. What this entails, Gondek says, is allocating incentives to the green sector (to help it wrestle the energy industry into submission), buying overpriced electric cars for overpaid politicians (how is the electricity made, Jyoti?), and putting Calgary’s infrastructure through a “clean energy audit” so she knows where to attack.
To these ends, Gondek has appointed a new Director to manage Climate Change and Environmental Planning, ensuring that more money is wasted where it isn’t needed at the worst possible time. This comes only months after being elected, wherein her first order of businesses was declaring a climate emergency, making blatantly clear her agenda while in office.
Additionally, Gondek, who fought tooth and nail to keep her constituents masked like they were dangerous psych ward inmates, has shown up in public several times in the last few weeks. The mainstream media has been utterly silent on the hypocrisy, which seems to have escaped the hapless mayor, as well.
Apparently, you’re literally killing grandma if you want to go to the pub without a mask. But it’s alright for public officials to leisurely attend a women’s day conference and photo op where nothing of import is accomplished besides a bit of PR.
