Recording link of the quote there’s also a link in the article but it goes to Breitbart Soundcloud account :

“Before the tariff war, I would say yes. I mean, Pierre Poilievre is the name of the Conservative Party leader, and he was miles ahead of Justin Trudeau. But because of what we see as unjust and unfair tariffs, it’s actually caused an increase in the support for the liberals,” Smith responded. “And so that’s what I fear, is that the longer this dispute goes on, politicians posture, and it seems to be benefiting the Liberals right now.

    If people are angry enough it can work. The situation today is an entirely different than a typical provincial election where apathy is engrained in so many.

    Collecting enough signatures isn’t all up to the person who kicks off the recall petition; canvassers register and join in on collecting signatures. And they don’t have to go door to door. If you have the permission of your employer, or a business, or central location you can set up canvasses there an let people know times and places to show up to sign. Not easy, but possible if people care enough.

    The obvious hoops that have been set up to prevent a recall from being straight forward suck, but we still have a mechanism to do it. If a recall could succeed despite the hoops that would be extremely motivating to the rest of the province and country.

      Even if the petition falls short of the 40% it’s a strong message. Absolutely worth doing regardless of the outcome.
