Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek congratulated Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and the United Conservative Party for winning the election.

“I look forward to building relationships with all Calgary MLAs and meeting with the premier in the days to come,” said Gondek in a Tuesday statement.
The mayor went on to say there is “no room for hate in a city and province that is slowly recovering from an economic recession that stood to cripple us.” Calgary rose up from the recession and created economic stability, with a strong workforce comprised of diverse people.

“That’s why homophobic, misogynistic, transphobic, and racist views cannot be tolerated,” she said.
