On the official voting day of the referendum, Patrick Lennox has a valid opinion on Alberta’s referendum: Alberta is staring down the snout of "a big lie,"argues Patrick Lennox. A colossal deception has led to Monday's pre-referendum vote, which offers Albertans two choices: "Remain a province of Canada" or"hold a binding provincial referendum on whether or not Alberta should separate from Canada." And Lennox has a word for that: "Treason. To assault the public with lies both big and small, transmitting them in great quantities and at high velocity, has been the modus operandi of the separatists. And it draws from a well-studied playbook. Lennox further states, “These losers (Separatists) would still be on the political margins were they not being validated by one person: Premier Danielle Smith.” “Even as she ran for office promising to work within the federation, Smith was secretly plotting to run through the emergency exit.” He tours among the conspiracy theorists who, buoyed by the so-called Freedom Convoy, are responsible for advancing this crackpot scheme to split Alberta from Canada. And he captures how these weirdos, whose past efforts have attracted no more than a few thousand supporters, colluded — or at least claimed to collude — with Trump's effort to seize Canada. thestar.com/opinion/star-col…
