Sure, we're (almost) all pretty upset at how the NDP are running the province, but is it markedly different from what could reasonably have been expected the day they were elected? Are Albertans not getting more or less what they voted for, albeit a clumsily executed, obviously inexperienced version?

BC is the only province that has recall.

Recall is a process through which a registered voter can petition to remove a Member of the Legislative Assembly from office. A voter can only petition to recall the Member for the electoral district in which they are registered to vote. The voter must collect signatures from more than 40% of voters eligible to sign the petition in that electoral district. Applications for recall petitions cannot be submitted to Elections BC during the 18 months after the Member was elected. In Canada, the recall process is unique to B.C. – no other province or territory has a system in place for removing elected representatives from office between elections.
