Former Canadian Minister Of Defence Asks Canadian Parliament To Hold
Hearings On Relations With Alien "Et" Civilizations Thu Nov 24, 7:00 AM
ET



OTTAWA, CANADA (PRWEB) November 24, 2005 -- 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."

Mr. Hellyer went on to say, "I'm so concerned about what the
consequences might be of starting an intergalactic war, that I just
think I had to say something."

Hellyer revealed, "The secrecy involved in all matters pertaining to
the Roswell incident was unparalled. The classification was, from the
outset, above top secret, so the vast majority of U.S. officials and
politicians, let alone a mere allied minister of defence, were never
in-the-loop."

Hellyer warned, "The United States military are preparing weapons which
could be used against the aliens, and they could get us into an
intergalactic war without us ever having any warning. 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."

Hellyer's speech ended with a standing ovation. He said, "The time
has come to lift the veil of secrecy, and let the truth emerge, so
there can be a real and informed debate, about one of the most
important problems facing our planet today."

Three Non-governmental organizations took Hellyer's words to heart,
and approached Canada's Parliament in Ottawa, Canada's capital, to
hold public hearings on a possible ET presence, and what Canada should
do. The Canadian Senate, which is an appointed body, has held
objective, well-regarded hearings and issued reports on controversial
issues such as same-sex marriage and medical marijuana,

On October 20, 2005, the Institute for Cooperation in Space requested
Canadian Senator Colin Kenny, Senator, Chair of The Senate Standing
Senate Committee on National Security and Defence, "schedule public
hearings on the Canadian Exopolitics Initiative, so that witnesses such
as the Hon. Paul Hellyer, and Canadian-connected high level
military-intelligence, NORAD-connected, scientific, and governmental
witnesses facilitated by the Disclosure Project and by the Toronto
Exopolitics Symposium can present compelling evidence, testimony, and
Public Policy recommendations."

The Non-governmental organizations seeking Parliament hearings include
Canada-based Toronto Exopolitics Symposium, which organized the
University of Toronto Symposium at which Mr. Hellyer spoke.

The Disclosure Project, a U.S.- based organization that has assembled
high level military-intelligence witnesses of a possible ET presence,
is also one of the organizations seeking Canadian Parliament hearings.

Vancouver-based Institute for Cooperation in Space (ICIS), whose
International Director headed a proposed 1977 Extraterrestrial
Communication Study for the White House of former U.S. President Jimmy
Carter, who himself has publicly reported a 1969 Close Encounter of the
First Kind with a UFO, filed the original request for Canadian
Parliament hearings.

The Canadian Exopolitics Initiative, presented by the organizations to
a Senate Committee panel hearing in Winnipeg, Canada, on March 10,
2005, proposes that the Government of Canada undertake a Decade of
Contact.

The proposed Decade of Contact is "a 10-year process of formal,
funded public education, scientific research, educational curricula
development and implementation, strategic planning, community activity,
and public outreach concerning our terrestrial society's full
cultural, political, social, legal, and governmental communication and
public interest diplomacy with advanced, ethical Off-Planet cultures
now visiting Earth."

Canada has a long history of opposing the basing of weapons in Outer
Space. On September 22, 2004 Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin
declared to the U.N. General Assembly," "Space is our final frontier.
It has always captured our imagination. What a tragedy it would be if
space became one big weapons arsenal and the scene of a new arms race.

Martin stated, "In 1967, the United Nations agreed that weapons of mass
destruction must not be based in space. The time has come to extend
this ban to all weapons..."

In May, 2003, speaking before the Canadian House of Commons Standing
Committee on National Defence and Veterans Affairs, former Minister of
Foreign Affairs of Canada Lloyd Axworthy, stated "Washington's offer
to Canada is not an invitation to join America under a protective
shield, but it presents a global security doctrine that violates
Canadian values on many levels."

Axworthy concluded, "There should be an uncompromising commitment to
preventing the placement of weapons in space."

On February 24, 2005, Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin made official
Canada's decision not to take part in the U.S government's Ballistic
Missile Defence program.

Paul Hellyer, who now seeks Canadian Parliament hearings on relations
with ETs, on May 15, 2003, stated in Toronto's Globe & Mail
newspaper, "Canada should accept the long-standing invitation of U.S.
Congressman Dennis Kucinich of Ohio to launch a conference to seek
approval of an international treaty to ban weapons in space. That would
be a positive Canadian contribution toward a more peaceful world."

In early November 2005, the Canadian Senate wrote ICIS, indicating the
Senate Committee could not hold hearings on ETs in 2005, because of
their already crowded schedule.

"That does not deter us," one spokesperson for the Non-governmental
organizations said, "We are going ahead with our request to Prime
Minister Paul Martin and the official opposition leaders in the House
of Commons now, and we will re-apply with the Senate of Canada in early
2006.

"Now is the time for open disclosure that there are ethical
Extraterrestrial civilizations visiting Earth," a spokesperson for
the Non-Governmental Organizations stated. "Our Canadian government
needs to openly address these important issues of the possible
deployment of weapons in outer space and war plans against ethical
Extraterrestrial societies."

Well finally the truth, we all have known the existence of extraterrestrials
and the fact that there are people who are in the know finally forcing the
governments to come clean is about time. I wouldn't call it whacky or way
out there as it is has been with us for a very long time. I would have to
agree that the weapons being developed by the USA based on alien technology
is a cause for concern particularly with bush at the helm. The talk of
putting a base on the moon is not new it has been on the agenda for many
years and for all we know construction could have already begun. As the
people of earth we are fed very little of truth and we are kept in the dark,
alone and afraid, concerned increasingly of only ourselves and immediate
families....Perhaps the next terrorist on Bush's hit list will be aliens????
roflmao my goodness what will he think of next to expedite his mission and
those of his handlers on total world domination.

I was hoping the Canucks might be able to offer some insight. Is the
former defense minister credible?

We could ask people at the White House about the base on the moon but
they aren't credible.

I'd volunteer to go. I'm tired of shooting deer. I want me an ET.

Matt Drudge had it linked off his website last weekend. That's where I

FORMER commonwealth?! I'm appalled at this lack of knowledge about world
organisations!
Canada is still very much within the commonwealth, and the professor quoted
in the preceeding article is an American! I don't think America was ever in
th commonwealth, do you? ;-)

Your punishment is to watch the remaining three days of the Third Test
Against Pakistan (another Commonwealth country). That should install some
civilisation in you!

Woods is actually more knowledgable than most Americans (she DID know about
Tim's coffee, after all and I know she's travelled here).

I remember being in a shop in Pennsylvania one hot (90+F) July day. Whe an
old codger inside heard we were from Canada, he said "cold up there?" We
had to inform him that our climate was not much different tha Pennsylvana's;
we were not from the high Arctic!

The old Codger is right.

During the winter months when it's 30 degrees in Pennsylvania, it'll
be like 3 degrees below zero in Toronto.

eric.
P.S. Please don't tell the Yanks the difference between Fahrenheit,
and Celsius.

P.P.S. Seriously, if the old man was referring to Ottawa during the
winter, then he is right. It is unfreakingbelievably cold, and the
winter lasts forever.

No, he was talking about Ontario in July...the heat was the topic of
conversation...not year round weather patterns...as in "cold up there NOW".
I should have articulated that, so that even pea-brains could follow.

Sorry, eric, I just scanned your post and assumed (from past experience)
that you were needling me...

I apologize.

Jane

[Ext User(eric)]

Nope. I wasn't needling u, and I didn't take offense to your remarks
anyway. But it is gracious of you to apologize.

So .... what was Canada prior to 1967 (unsure of date, sometime in
mid-60s at least), then? I thought it was part of the Commonwealth
then, and now is independent? Confederation was in 1867, so it was no
longer a part of Britain at that point.

*whack*

Jane, you really need to get with the program. You are to tell all
American ignoramuses that you live in igloos year round and eat raw
polar bear. That's what people in northern New York tell everyone in
the south who thinks all of New York State is New York City (well,
except for the raw polar bear part ...;-)

Oh, I have to tell you this one, Jane.

When I was in grad school, I did a stint where I did some TAing for a
program that had professors coming in from all over the US. Most/none
of the people coming up for this really believed the booklet when it
told them that they would need clothing for cool weather, so the first
years always froze and had to go running around trying to find blankets
and sweaters in the nonexistant local stores. They were completely
amazed that it could actually get cool enough for a sweatshirt (for
them, anyway - those of us used to the weather just wore long sleeves in
the cooler evenings).

Wish we could get summer blankets here in the US. Only place I've ever
seen them was in Canada, and ours have long since worn out (25+ years
old).

Quite possibly a dominion, Jane should know. At least according to teh
commonwealth's website they're still a member (anfd have been since 1931):

Nothing but Britain has ever been a part of Britain - the Empire was made up
of crown colonys, possessions, dominions etc.

Confederation was actually 1867! The British North America Act gave us
political independence from Britain. We weren't really *part* of Britain,
per sae, but were several colonies. Four originally became provinces of
Canada, with the others coming on board later. The Centennial of that was
1967 and it was a big to-do here. I only vaguely remember, as I was only
six, but I still have a set of Centennial coins the Mint put out and a
Centennial rose cup and saucer by Royal Albert. That was the year Montreal
had its Expo (back when people cared about such things!)

Yes, we are members of the Commonwealth and we are a Dominion, AFAIK,
although no one really uses that terminology anymore.

Cricket is a non-starter here in North America...even in Canada. There is
some interest, now that we have a larger South Asian population, but I
wouldn't have a clue about a cricket reference and likely Woods wouldn't,
either, :)!
