Is Jyoti Gondek getting any sleep these days? The Mayor of Calgary is the target of a recall petition, for which organizers have fewer than 60 days to collect more than 500,000 signatures. The petition comes amid a 30% approval rating for Gondek, who's facing criticism for a 7.8% property tax increase and a densification bylaw intended to address the city's housing crunch.
2:23 | Mayor Gondek gets into the recall petition, her public squabble with Councillor Dan McLean, her 30% approval rating, the quick repeal of Calgary's single-use items bylaw, transit safety, and the looming (drought fuelled) wildfire season.

43:45 | Charles Adler was spitting fire re: Bell Media's mass layoffs on our February 12 episode. Jasper Local publisher Bob Covey tells us why it resonated so strongly with him.
