Vote Flip and the Phone Passcode

A Calgary city council vote that hinged on a last-minute motion to reconsider — after a tie and a key councillor’s absence — is now under investigation for alleged campaign bribery. Former mayor Jyoti Gondek, who voted yes after the reconsideration, may have advised a developer consultant, David White, on how to sway another councillor — a move allegedly tied to illegal donations. White’s phone was seized but returned; police want Gondek’s phone, locked behind a passcode, but her lawyer says it’s speculative. Meanwhile, councillors debate a new lobbyist registry — some say it’s overdue, others warn it won’t fix the core issue. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
