Canada: Petitions taken out against Calgary Mayor

The due date for the Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek recall has passed and it will be 45 days until an announcement is made. However, the recall clearly failed, as the lead petitioner stated that he submitted 72,271 signatures and they needed 514,284.

The recall was seemingly over the single-use plastic law, though there is also a kitchen sink listing of complaints as well. This is the first recall attempt in Calgary (the law was adopted province-wide in 2022).
