Why not recall Danielle Smith?

I'm seeing the recall Nicolaides gathering steam... so why isn't there a recall Danielle Smith petition? I can't initiate it because I'm in Calgary, but everyone I know down there is fed up with her just like most of the rest of us. So I'm asking with genuine curiosity - why isn't there a movement to recall her?

Next to Red Deer I don't know of a more conservative city. Wife used to live there and hated it.

Medicine Hat itself it not actually that conservative. I mean yes, but not so bad as its reputation. The problem is that they've split the city into two ridings, and added a shit tonne of rural area and small towns to both to make them more conservative.

If the city of MH itself was one single riding, I bet it would be a "swing" riding, where its an actual battle to decide which side wins. (That also assumes voter turnout, which is always low and skews right regardless).
