And in Calgary: https://x.com/CraigCornoy/status/1856033911450607991

Absolutely disgraceful how [Calgary mayor] @JyotiGondek starts a rememberance day speech by calling everyone in attendance "settlers on someone else's land". Disgusting.

The answer is in the name. A Jyoti Gondek is not going to treat a Stephen Johnson like a human being.
Both of the mentioned mayors are not-normal-white and female. What did people expect? A hefty sassy black woman to objectively work and treat everyone equally? Good joke.
