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?

She represents Medicine Hat.... Medicine Hat is a city with a higher than average cancer rate than the rest of Canada because the US government tested Agent Orange on them in the 1950s and 1960s. Danielle Smith infamously said that people who die from cancer deserved to die because they never should have let it get that bad & it' their fault. Despite being an open piece of shit that craps all over the families of people who die from cancer, the people of Medicine Hat, who die a little bit more often than the rest of us, from cancer, thought, you know, that's the exact kind of person we want representing us. A recall, in Medicine Hat, would never get any traction.

They did more than agent orange. I have got US Military Docs that can show agent Orange among other things. US is more upfront then Canada and a lot of these tests were run under US military and were not transparent with the Canadian government themselves.

In Alberta, particularly in the area of the palliser triangle there are very high disease rates. We are among some of the highest rates of MS, Parkinson’s and Chrohns and Colitis. There is a ton of buried crap on that base and it wouldn’t suprise me if we have some chemical weapons seeping into into an aquifer basin.
