Smith needs to make this about her. She will portray herself as Alberta's saviour.

You can't suddenly say no one collects $200 anymore when you pass Go because you keep rolling threes.
I'm not a recall fan, but you can't keep changing the rules mid-game to your favour.
Don't like your own rules you ran elections on? Then get another mandate

During the Gondek recall, Premier Smith was adamant that no changes would be forthcoming to recall during an active recall petition.
By the UCP's own measures, they can't amend recall rules until there are no active petitions.
