my MPP is Lisa MacLoud. Emailing her would be useless. The current PC wouldn't listen to her since she repeatedly embarrassed them as a minister during the previous term.

She still has a vote when the next mandatory confidence motion comes up. Exactly one vote, like every other MPP.

if Lisa MacLeod votes against the PCs while part of the PC caucus, I'll eat lemmy.ca.

MP and MPP independence from the parties is theatrical only. The parties own their future and they know better than to stand against them.
