Senate urged to study aliens

This has nothing directly to do with taxes, government accountability or waste, but it begged to be posted.

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."

It will become a matter for the taxpayer's if the government decides to pursue this and throw money at it for further investigation. Even though it seems absurd, someone with Hellyer's network could probably push for it.

Still, if they do throw money at this study I'd say that more than Hellyer needs to be examined for clarity....

Hmmm... he's 82 and senile. I guess that should temper the lifelong urge I have had to punch his lights out over the events of 1968.
