Canada: Proposed recall law for Ontario Parliament

Randy Hillier, a "maverick" member of opposition Progressive Conservative party in the Ontario parliament (which is the province, not the national government of Canada), is proposing adding a recall. The recall would require signatures of25% of voters in 60 days (similar to Wisconsin's law). The story notes that about 50,000 votes are cast in each riding, so they would need about 12,500 signatures on average. The law also would not allow recalls in the first and last year of a scheduled term.
