Former Canadian Minister Of Defence ... On Relations With Alien "ET" Civilizations

A former Canadian Minister of Defence and Deputy Prime Minister under Pierre Trudeau has joined forces with three Non-governmental organizations to ask the Parliament of Canada to hold public hearings on Exopolitics -- relations with “ETs.”

By “ETs,” Mr. Hellyer and these organizations mean ethical, advanced extraterrestrial civilizations that may now be visiting Earth.

On September 25, 2005, in a startling speech at the University of Toronto that caught the attention of mainstream newspapers and magazines, Paul Hellyer, Canada’s Defence Minister from 1963-67 under Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Prime Minister Lester Pearson, publicly stated: "UFOs, are as real as the airplanes that fly over your head."

He says his conviction that UFOs are real arose from reading in recent years, not from anything gleaned from secret archives during his time in office.

but how do we know you AREN'T part of the conspiracy??!!
i mean, how many of the people who are trying to hush this up have EVER admitted they are in the conspiracy?
(personally, i think the Illuminati might be behind a lot of this)

[solitas]

Didn't 'Frantic Times' do something about this with a previous official?

[solitas]

I loved that show! :)

Well, I guess this guy explains why Canada doesn't want to buy into the US missle defense system. Apparently, if we build such a system, it will just provoke the extra-terrestrials and bring Canada into an intergalactic war they know they cannot win. Once again, Canada knows how to better protect the continent. They should feel pretty good about themselves after this one...

The United States is committed to peaceful negotiations with alien civilizations as this picture shows.

BTT.

Somehow, someway, I knew that this story would find a way to blame something on Bush. Canada just wants us to close down the NORAD! Maybe, they don't like us telling children we track Santa, and have hourly updates on Santa sightings on Christmas eve.

Former Canadian Minister Of Defense Says UFOs are Real; Warns Of 'Intergalactic War'...

Thank God we got Canadians taking care of this, whew!

[Optimus Prime]

He stated, "The Bush administration has finally agreed to let the military build a forward base on the moon, which will put them in a better position to keep track of the goings and comings of the visitors from space, and to shoot at them, if they so decide."

"Rest assured, Stargate Command is deeply appreciative of the level of support which the Bush Administration has shown towards the program."



Gotta love the assumption of "ethical" aliens, though. If they share the same ethics as this guy, then they'd also be against weapons in space. In which case, we really got nothing to worry about. For all we know, though, the ethics of the supposed aliens may be more in line with the ethics of THIS guy...



Either way, this guys whole line of reasoning is stupid. "We don't want the Americans to be shooting at the peaceful, kind, fluffy, and ethical aliens, even though 'ethical' aliens wouldn't really give them a reason to shoot at them, because then it might cause those self-same ethical aliens to turn their planet-destroying weaponry on a species vastly inferior technologically to them". Yeah, REAL ethical.

Canada Ping!

Please let me know if you want on of off this Canada ping list.

Sorry, couldn't find the "aliens back bush" picture.

[xrp]

This former Canadian government official shouldn't worry.

The United States is already on good terms with our overlords from outer space.

[Lunatic Fringe]

NO BLOOD FOR DILITHIUM CRYSTALS!

[WKUHilltopper]

LOL!! What a lunatic!

[GMMAC]

Hellyer's brain melted or seemingly something similar happened back in 1968 when Pierre Trudeau beat him for the Liberal leadership.
Since then, find a crackpot cause or group and he's been there - usually as 'leader'.

Plus, he's a painfully self-righteous, as well as self-important, old SOB.
Any American friends picturing 'Jimmy Carter with icicles' wouldn't be far off - LOL!

[hinckley buzzard]

Give the size of the galaxy, I think an intragalactic war is more likely. Good to know our neighbors to the north are worried about important things.

This is a perfect fit--a contry with a nonexistent defense figuring out how to deal with nonexistent enemies.

[Names Ash Housewares]

OF course this loon was also against the war in Iraq.


So he says Bush wants to build a moonbase to fight the aliens with?

Sounds like the old TV show UFO with Ed Straker and SHADO.

I realize this is embarassing to you saner folks up in Canada, but when I mentioned the gist of the article to Mrs. B, she just went,

"Cool! If we're going to get in an intergalatic space war, we'll need that foreward moonbase..."

[fanfan]

LOL!

Tell her that you folks are welcome to set it up in my backyard!
