A mechanism designed by Jason Kenney to "empower citizens" has turned on his own party.
Fourteen United Conservative Party MLAs are now facing recall petitions from constituents.

4/10 #Nenshi took aim at Alberta’s #RecallAct, introduced under former premier Jason #Kenney.
The legislation, which allows citizens to petition to fire #councillors, #mayors, or #MLAs, would also be on the chopping block.
“I think the recall legislation was flawed from the beginning,” he said.

🇨🇦 #NENSHI PLEDGES TO #REPEAL UCP'S #MUNICIPAL #BILLS 🇨🇦
#Alberta #NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi spoke at the Alberta Municipalities (AB Munis) convention.
An NDP government would repeal Bills 18 (federal funding block) & 20 (voting machines), as well as the #RecallAct.

Danielle Smith’s Party Conked by Its Own Boomerang
The Recall Act is bad law made for bad reasons. Now the UCP rues its invention.

Smith said no changes are coming "just yet."
But Climenhaga finds it "probable" the #UCP will be "forced to #recall easy recalls sooner than later."
The #RecallAct is bad law, he concludes: "there can be no sympathy for #Smith & the #UCP."

5/8 The irony: last May, the #Smith govt boasted that changes to the #RecallAct would "make it easier to recall an #MLA."
The party bragged it would "give voters the power to fire their MLAs if they break promises" — not just for "egregious" law-breaking.

Dani wants to change her #RecallAct for fear of ‘overthrowing’ the #UCP. 😭
Yet again, she’s moving the goal posts mid-game.
Some #UCPMLAs say they’re facing threats over #Bill2. While I don’t condone violence, what do they expect?
Serve #AB & there’ll be no backlash. It IS that simple.
