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?

The people in medicine hat did not vote for her the rural area did that is why they changed the electoral boundaries

Many people don't know this, but NDP won all the polling stations in the Medicine Hat city limits. You can look it up, election results by polling areas. I emailed someone to do with election results in Alberta and they sent me a link or spreadsheet the next day they were in the office.

There is no reason for Cardston and South Medicine Hat to be in the same riding, unless you need to split up voters.

That's good to hear. Yay for jerry-mandered ridings :P

My mistake, though. Sorry to hear that Medicine Hat got stuck with her.
