Paul Hellyer, a former Canadian defence minister renowned for his views on the unknown, urged the government during his life to unveil classified information regarding unidentified objects and aliens.
With a distinguished background as Canada's defence minister during the nineteen sixties, Hellyer played a pivotal role in overseeing significant transformations within the Royal Canadian Navy, Canadian Army, and the Royal Canadian Air Force, ultimately leading to their integration into a unified entity.
However, during the last years of his life, it was his assertions that have thrust him into the spotlight of mainstream media.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can learning about history stop us from repeating past mistakes?
Because we make the same mistakes over and over again, history repeats itself. We fail to learn from the mistakes we make. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle for mediocrity.
History repeats itself because we believe the same old stories. We have been taught to believe there are unchanging laws and fixed truths. They are immutable laws and truths that we can't change.
This makes it difficult to think critically. To question authority. To challenge assumptions. If we don’t ask questions, we don’t grow. If we don't grow we stagnate. When we stagnate we make the same mistakes again and again.
But history isn't the same because we continue making the same mistakes. History repeats because we refuse lessons from our mistakes and continue making them over and again.

Successful Inventions Made from Accident
Inventors make mistakes. However, how we react to these mistakes will determine whether or not our inventions are great successes.
When it comes to invention, there are no accidents. Every invention was planned. There is no such thing a accidental invention.
Invention is an intentional act. Intentionally making something new. Something that solves a problem. It makes someone's life easier.
Understanding that mistakes are not inevitable is the key to invention success. Instead of trying to avoid making mistakes, learn from them.
As much as we would love to say that invention is easy, it isn't. Invention requires hard work and persistence. It's not a quick fix. It takes time.
That means you must spend a lot of time thinking about problems and ideas. What is it that people are most concerned about? What do they need?
These are the questions you need to ask. These questions will help to determine the type of product and service that you should be developing next.
This is possible only if you let go any preconceived notions. Preconceived notions about what the world needs or wants are not valid. You must listen to your customers and potential clients.
You have to learn what they want. It is not what they think they want.
Once you know what your customers want, it is time to create a way for them to get it. That's where invention begins.

How To
The Suez Canal Changed the World
Ferdinand de Lesseps created the Suez Canal in 1869. This was his dream to connect Europe and Asia. To do so, he had the Isthmus of Suez (the narrowest part) built to allow ships to cross from Europe to reach India. This involved the construction of several locks, dams and tunnels. He traveled to Egypt several time, where he worked with Khedive Ismail Pasha on financing the project. When he returned home to France, he discovered that Napoleon III had been overthrown, and was being replaced by the Second Empire. They had no interest in such an expensive project. It took him three long years before the French government would fund the project. After the British were defeated at Battle of Omdurman, during the Sudan War in 1859 they signed a treaty to allow them access to Red Sea via Suez Canal.
This project opened up trade routes and increased international commerce. It led to the development in many countries, including South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Japan.
The Suez Canal also allowed people to travel faster than ever before. It used to take weeks or months for people to cross the Isthmian Peninsula before it was constructed. Now it takes just days. People could visit places like Paris, London, Rome, and Constantinople without going through long sea voyages and dangerous storms. Additionally, the Suez Canal reduced the distance between North America & Europe by nearly 3,000 miles, making it more convenient for people to travel back and forward. Because of these advantages, the Suez Canal became one of the most important transportation projects ever undertaken.
However, the Suez Canal also caused problems because it divided the Ottoman Empire into two parts, eventually leading to the First World War. During World War I, the British used Suez Canal to attack Germany. However, the Germans used their version of Suez Canal against Britain. The Suez Canal was finally under Egyptian control after the war ended, but the British retained the land to its right.
After the Second World War, both sides continued to trade through the Suez Canal until the Arab-Israeli War in 1948. Both sides were initially reluctant to oppose each other because they feared the other would use force. In 1967, Israel took the Sinai peninsula from Egypt and closed the Suez Canal to all shipping, except military vessels. The four-year-old closure ended when President Sadat reopened Suez Canal to civilian traffic in 1972.
