Thread: canadian politics

OTTAWA (AFP) - A former Canadian defense minister is demanding governments worldwide disclose and use secret alien technologies obtained in alleged UFO crashes to stem climate change, a local paper said Wednesday.
"I would like to see what (alien) technology there might be that could eliminate the burning of fossil fuels within a generation ... that could be a way to save our planet," Paul Hellyer, 83, told the Ottawa Citizen.
Alien spacecrafts would have traveled vast distances to reach Earth, and so must be equipped with advanced propulsion systems or used exceptional fuels, he told the newspaper.
Such alien technologies could offer humanity alternatives to fossil fuels, he said, pointing to the enigmatic 1947 incident in Roswell, New Mexico -- which has become a shrine for UFO believers -- as an example of alien contact.
"We need to persuade governments to come clean on what they know. Some of us suspect they know quite a lot, and it might be enough to save our planet if applied quickly enough," he said.
Hellyer became defense minister in former prime minister Lester Pearson's cabinet in 1963, and oversaw the controversial integration and unification of Canada's army, air force and navy into the Canadian Forces.
He shocked Canadians in September 2005 by announcing he once saw a UFO.

Is it March first or April?

its march first right now.
Not april fools day yet.

Oh Good God it's true!

I've never heard of the dude, but he was Defense Minister under Lester Pearson in the 60's. Pearson who won a Nobel peace prize mostly for his opposition to the cold-war powers of the 60's and particularly his speeches to the UN and inthe US against the US in Vietnam.

In defense of the Minister of Defense... he was a politician in the 60's. he's in his late 80's...and his UFO theories are shall we say ... recent....

Thanks for bringing him up. I've never heard of him before.

God.. the more I read the more I feel sorry for his wife.

lol u think i'd post a lie?
damn you knuckles >_<

So glad to hear he is an EX Minister of Defence! :whistling:

More nuttiness. And we wonder why people fall for the 'global warming' hoax.

I think you can count the number of people who believe him on 1 finger. And that person is one of the aliens who actually lives in that finger.

No reason to use this as an example of people believing things... unless they are also in their late 80's and clearly losing it a bit.

This is why people dont take Canada seriously.
