Editor:

This province has conspiracy believers coming out of the woodwork. If it isn’t that demon prince in Ottawa conspiring to reduce us rich folks into paupers with his invasive taxes, it’s those conspirators putting microchips into vaccines that go into our arms to make us vote Liberal.

Just when we thought we’d heard it all, along comes the chemtrails conspiracy: chemicals – actually harmless water vapour – sprayed on us from the plumes emitted by aeroplanes from the CIA? The United States defence department? Conspiracies, to be successful, of course, must remain secret to those who are being conspired against. Otherwise, the jig is up and we’d all collectively hold our breath when those planes flew over at 35,000 feet, foiling those nasty conspirators.

But, not to worry, those Alberta conspiracy finders – and alternate media devotees – have discovered the evil plot (“strategy”? by “who”, “when”, to do “what”, “why”, “how”?). We have these self-proclaimed pseudo-experts to make their ignorance seem so smart that we should all be in awe at their discovering the nefarious chemtrails plot.

Not only that, it seems the premier is on top of it and has been looking into this conspiracy and will continue to listen to some folks she “heard from over the summer. So an incompetent conspiracy – since it’s no longer secret – is not a conspiracy. It has been outed by Alberta’s own pseudo-expert self-proclaimed conspiracy finders bringing it to the premier’s attention.

With no scientific intelligent background research, these conspiracy finders unearthed an incompetent conspiracy. Or did they? How would we know? Apparently, we can’t trust the mainstream media or CBC but only the conspiracy finders’ media sources, which are about as reliable as Media BoyTrump’s claim of “I didn’t lose an election that I in fact lost”.

Confused or annoyed? You certainly should be both.
