Three more recall petitions against Alberta politicians fall short


EDMONTON — Three more recall petitions against members of Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s United Conservative caucus have failed.

The Red Deer resident targeting Primary Care Minister Adriana LaGrange says on social media that the campaign gathered just over 20 per cent of the more than 11,000 signatures it needed.

Despite falling short, Danny Carlisle says the signatures still sent a message and that the campaign raised awareness on a number of important issues.

The campaigns targeting Culture Minister Tanya Fir and United Conservative backbencher Peter Singh also came up short.

Of the two dozen petitions launched late last year against Smith’s caucus, at least 17 have failed.

There are also petitions against two members of the Opposition NDP, with the petition deadline set for today against Calgary MLA Amanda Chapman.
