Canada: Alberta Premier considering changes to recall law

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is considering changes to the recall law over complaints about the difficult of getting a recall on the ballot. this is coming after petitions have been taken out against Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek seemingly over the single-use plastic law, though there is also a kitchen sink listing of complaints as well. This is the first recall attempt in Calgary (the law was adopted province-wide in 2022). Petitioners need 514,284 signatures (40% of total voters) to get on the ballot, which is more than the number of voters in the last municipal election.
