That's political suicide.
1 million people of voting age signing the petition is resounding. To ignore that level of public will all but ensures she loses government. Marlaina is many things, but she is certainly very aware which way the political wind is blowing, and how her own career is tied to it.
There's just under 3 million electors registered to vote in Alberta.
