This quote should be correctly attributed to Rober Cahmbers "Bob" Edwards (1864-1922) publisher of the Calgary Eye Opener, an itinerant newspaper first published in High River in 1902 that gained a reputation for originality and wit. Lampooning society and political personalities, the Eye Opener was often the target of legal actions that included one on behalf of Premier A.L. Sifton. The Eye Opener called the 3 biggest liars in Alberta "Robert Edwards, Gentleman; Honourable A.L. Sifton (premier); and Bob Edwards, Editor of the Eye Opener." The suit was dropped when Edwards filed a similar action on behalf of Robert Edwards, Gentleman, and Bob Edwards, Editor.
