 Over Dalton's tenure as MLA for Maple Ridge - Mission, there had been two campaigns to recall and "fire" the politician from office.In 2011, the group Maple Ridge FightHST, led by Wilf McIntyre and Corisa Bell, launched the first push garnering roughly 2500 signatures, short of the 14,882 or 40% of required voters to begin the recall process.Dalton attempted to undermine the process claiming locals thought they were signing a petition to halt the passage of the Harmonized Sales Tax in BC.
