Really- read this and tell me he's not nuts or pulling an early April Fool's gag.
quote: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."
Hoo-kay...

I'm glad that you've mentioned that he's a former minister of defence. Most places I've seen this article, people seem to think the whole country is behind this.

*looks around suspiciously* What have you heard? We Canadians know nothing of Exopolitics... *talks into communicator* He knows too much, he must be liquidated...

Still, this guy once had access to nuclear weapons...who's to say he was not this nuts back then?
Besides, the US can't catch Bin Laden in two countries, how in fuck could we track and fire upon a ship that could be anywhere in the solar system?

1967...I think you had some as part of NATO -or we just stuck a bunch of missiles in your country and said they were yours.
That whole "mutally assured destruction" bit back when men were men, communists were evil and you coud survive a nuclear blast by ducking your head under your schooldesk.
...and aliens were gay men in silver jumpsuirs with glitter on Lost In Space.

That's probably it. If he HAD nukes, we didn't make them ourselves. We've got better things to use our Uranium for. A few years back there was talk of the US shipping loads of nuclear waste into northern Saskatchewan and dumping it into the Canadian Sheild. Does anyone know what ever happened with that?

I do not remember Canada ever having nukes.... Their own or ours.

"From the 1960s to 1984, there were American nuclear weapons in Canada. These were placed under dual-key rules whereby both Canadian and American authorities had to authorize a launch. Pierre Trudeau, Pearson's successor as prime minister, was opposed to these missiles, and in 1971, declared Canada a non-nuclear country. The missiles were moved out of Canada."

We kept the nuclear waste and shipped up all the extra Cabbage Patch Dolls, ET toys, Simpsons junk, Power Rangers, Pokemon, YuGiOh, first generation Nientendos, Genesis and Atari consoles -with all their useless old games, Go Bots, Syquest drives and every 5" floppy disk ever made (all holdovers from Christmas seasons past that had been building up for years), into one giant landfill, covered it up with dirt and just called it another mountain in your pristine wilderness.
In return, we secretly pay for your healthcare. ...and protect you from aliens, of course.

You gotta dig for 'em: the shell of the mountain is an 8" thick barrier of frozen floppy disks (most of which have old resumes done on WordPerfect 2.0).
Plus, most of the Nientendo equipment is that lame-ass robot that came with the first system and the gun that could never actually blow the stupid dog from Duck Hunt away.
...and oh, how I tried!

Actually I did shoot the dog once. Boy was he pissed. or maybe that was some twisted dream I had after playing the game for 8 hours straight. After that long I couldn't distinguish reality from nintendo. Everything was 8-bit, EVERYTHING!
