Yes, these people can fuck things up and cost everyone a lot of money and damage over their 4 year terms, but the answer to that is to vote more carefully and campaign to ensure your person gets in, as opposed to laissez-faire vote and then go all cancel-culture when the shit dick that was democratically elected pisses you off.
It's demonstrating a complete lack of accountability. We need to feel this pain because we fuckin did this to ourselves and the pain will help us to remember better for the future.
I'm with you. Any fuckin dummy can get a petition going and then we're stuck in a loop of constant elections. It would be nice if it only happened to people who genuinely have to be removed, but there isn't a mechanism to keep it away from people too stupid to know how to use it. We just went through this in Medicine Hat where some goofy dingbat tried to get the mayor ousted, and when it was all said and done she had something like 14 signatures. I don't hate the idea of it but I'm not signing a petition every 20 minutes.
