Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek is speaking out for the first time since a recall petition was launched to end her more than two-year term in office. "It came as a surprise and you know, I wouldn't be human if I didn't say it stings a little bit when you see something like this," she told media outside council chambers on Tuesday.
