Re: “Results of Alberta referendum send clear message: premier” (The Gazette, Oct. 22)
Albertans, as a general rule, don’t like it when politicians from other provinces speak on our behalf. But we especially don’t like it when politicians in other provinces misrepresent our opinions while doing so.
Premier Paul St-Pierre Plamondon attempted to spin Alberta’s referendum results to prop up his own pledge to hold a separation referendum. He did so well before all the votes had been counted. As it transpired, all of the constitutional questions flipped to “no.”
