Podcast appearances and mentions of Lester B Pearson

On 3 June 1967, Hellyer flew in by helicopter to officially inaugurate an Unidentified flying object landing pad in St. Paul, Alberta. The town had built the landing pad as its Canadian Centennial celebration project, and as a symbol of keeping space free from human warfare. The sign beside the pad reads: "The area under the World's First UFO Landing Pad was designated international by the Town of St. Paul as a symbol of our faith that mankind will maintain the outer universe free from national wars and strife. That future travel in space will be safe for all intergalactic beings, all visitors from earth or otherwise are welcome to this territory and to the Town of St. Paul."Throughout his life, Hellyer has been opposed to the weaponization of space. He supports the Space Preservation Treaty to ban space weapons.In early September 2005, Hellyer made international headlines by publicly announcing that he believed some UFOs were of extraterrestrial origin. On 25 September 2005, he was an invited speaker at an exopolitics conference in Toronto, where he told the audience that he had seen a UFO one night with his late wife and some friends. He said that though he discounted the experience at the time, he had kept an open mind to it. He said that he started taking the issue much more seriously after watching ABC News' "Peter Jennings Reports UFOs: Seeing is Believing" special in February 2005.Watching Jennings' report prompted Hellyer to finally read U.S. Army Lt. Colonel Philip J. Corso's book The Day After Roswell about the Roswell crash Incident which had been sitting on his shelf for some time. Hellyer told the Toronto audience that he later spoke to a retired Air Force General who confirmed the accuracy of the information in the book. Hellyer told the audience that in December 2004, he had enjoyed reading and had endorsed a book by Alfred Webre titled: Exopolitics - Politics, Government and Law in the Universe. He ended his 30 minute historical talk with a standing ovation by stating: "To turn us in the direction of re-unification with the rest of creation the author is proposing a “Decade of Contact” – an “era of openness, public hearings, publicly funded research, and education about extraterrestrial reality”.In 2007, the Ottawa Citizen reported that Hellyer is demanding that world governments disclose alien technology that could be used to solve the problem of climate change. "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," Hellyer told the paper. He also said that "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,"______________________________________________Paull Hellyer holds one of the longest and most varied political career in Canada's history. He was first elected as a Liberal in 1949 federal election in the district of Davenport, he was the youngest person ever elected to that point in the Canadian House of Commons. He served a brief stint as Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of National Defence, and made a good impression. He was then named Associate Minister of National Defence in the cabinet of Prime Minister Louis Saint-Laurent. He lost his seat when the Saint-Laurent government lost the 1957 election a few months later.Hellyer returned to parliament in a 1958 by-election in the neighboring district of Trinity, and became an effective opposition critic of the John Diefenbaker's Progressive Conservative government.When the Liberals returned to power in the 1963 election, Hellyer became Minister of National Defence in the cabinet of Lester B. Pearson. As Minister of Defence, he oversaw the controversial integration and unification of the Royal Canadian Navy, Canadian Army, the and the Royal Canadian Air Force into a single organization, the Canadian Forces.Hellyer contested the 1968 Liberal leadership convention, placing second on the first ballot, but slipping to third on the second and third ballots, and withdrawing to support Robert Winters on the fourth ballot, in which Pierre Trudeau won the leadership. He then served as Trudeau's Transport Minister, and was Senior Minister in the Cabinet, a position similar to the current position of Deputy Prime Minister.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.

Gabriel Moyse-Vaandering recently won the Lester B. Pearson scholarship. This means instead of heading back to Holy Heart of Mary High School, he'll be heading to Pearson College in Victoria, BC, where he'll join the "United World Colleges movement." He joined us in studio along with past Lester B. Pearson scholarship recipient Alice Ferguson O'Brien.

The year 1897 was a big one, with the Klondike becoming the focus of tens of thousands of gold seekers. It was also the year that Sir William Stephenson was born, and Lester B. Pearson was born. An election in Quebec helped define the next few decades of provincial politics, and various notable deaths occurred this year.

From Global Warming to The Extraterrestrial Presence and Technology - Paul Hellyer was Canada's youngest Member of Parliament when he was first elected in 1949 and the youngest cabinet minister appointed to Louis S. St. Laurent's government eight years later. After a stint in opposition he subsequently held senior posts in the governments of Lester B. Pearson and Pierre E. Trudeau, who defeated him for the Liberal Party leadership in 1968. The following year, after achieving the rank of senior minister, which was later designated Deputy Prime Minister, Hellyer resigned from the Trudeau cabinet on a question of principle related to housing. Although Hellyer is best known for the unification of the Canadian Armed Forces and for his 1968 chairmanship of the Task Force on Housing and Urban Development, he has maintained a life-long interest in macroeconomics. This led him to form Action Canada, a populist movement dedicated to the concepts of full employment and low inflation with an emphasis on quality-of-life issues. Through the years, as a journalist and political commentator, he has continued to fight for economic reforms and has written several books on the subject. A man of many interests, Hellyer's ideas are not classroom abstractions. He was born and raised on a farm and his business experience includes manufacturing, retailing, construction, land development, tourism and publishing. He has also been active in community affairs including the arts and studied voice at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto. His multi-faceted career, in addition to a near lifetime in politics, and union membership as a radio and TV commentator, gives Hellyer a rare perspective on what has gone wrong with the economy and what has to be done about it. - www.paulhellyerweb.comFor Your Listening Pleasure for these Lockdown / Stay-At-Home COVID and Variants Times - For all the radio shows available on The 'X' Zone Broadcast Network visit - https://www.spreaker.com/user/xzoneradiotv.Our radio shows archives and programming include: A Different Perspective with Kevin Randle; Alien Cosmic Expo Lecture Series; Alien Worlds Radio Show; America's Soul Doctor with Ken Unger; Back in Control Radio Show with Dr. David Hanscom, MD; Connecting with Coincidence with Dr. Bernard Beitman, MD; Dick Tracy; Dimension X; Exploring Tomorrow Radio Show; Flash Gordon; Imagine More Success Radio Show with Syndee Hendricks and Thomas Hydes; Jet Jungle Radio Show; Journey Into Space; Know the Name with Sharon Lynn Wyeth; Lux Radio Theatre - Classic Old Time Radio; Mission Evolution with Gwilda Wiyaka; Paranormal StakeOut with Larry Lawson; Ray Bradbury - Tales Of The Bizarre; Sci Fi Radio Show; Seek Reality with Roberta Grimes; Space Patrol; Stairway to Heaven with Gwilda Wiyaka; The 'X' Zone Radio Show with Rob McConnell; Two Good To Be True with Justina Marsh and Peter Marsh; and many other!That's The ‘X' Zone Broadcast Network Shows and Archives - https://www.spreaker.com/user/xzoneradiotv

Surnommé "l'Unifolié" (ou "The Maple Leaf Flag" en anglais, c'est-à-dire "le drapeau à la feuille d'érable"), le drapeau du Canada est facilement reconnaissable. Il faut dire que sa forme emblématique le rend vraiment en phase avec le pays qu'il représente. Au point que l'on pense qu'il est né en même temps que la nation nord-américaine elle-même...Une question d'identitéIl n'est pas toujours évident de trouver un drapeau qui marque les esprits. Cette prouesse, les Canadiens ne sont parvenus à la réaliser qu'en 1965. En fait, avant d'avoir un étendard de couleurs rouge et blanche (avec une seule feuille d'érable vermeille, à 11 pointes, en son centre), le pays d'Amérique du Nord a d'abord tâtonné pendant près d'un siècle. En effet, de 1868 à 1965, le drapeau canadien était un "Red Ensign" (calqué sur le modèle britannique). Il se composait principalement d'un rectangle rouge sur lequel se trouvait l'"Union Jack" (l'emblème du Royaume-Uni) dans le coin haut de gauche ; et d'un blason représentant les différentes provinces canadiennes, placé sur le côté droit. Toutefois, dans la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle, des politiciens canadiens proposent de trouver un nouveau drapeau pour le pays ; afin de le démarquer de l'ancienne puissance coloniale dont il avait été rendu indépendant. Une seule feuille sur le drapeauC'est le chef de l'opposition d'alors - Lester B. Pearson – qui déclare, en 1960, qu'il faut "résoudre le problème du drapeau". Une fois élu premier ministre (1963), le politicien canadien persiste sur cette voie en promettant de trouver un nouvel étendard ; avant que le Canada ne fête son premier centenaire d'indépendance (en 1967). Dans un premier temps Pearson propose un drapeau complètement différent de celui que nous connaissons actuellement (il s'agit d'un rameau de trois feuilles d'érable rouges, dessinées sur un fond blanc bordé de deux bandes latérales bleues). La possible adoption de ce modèle est âprement discutée en 1964 (durant une période qui est désormais connue comme celle du "grand débat sur le drapeau"). C'est finalement une autre version (avec une feuille d'érable rouge) qui est adoptée et rendue officielle – le 28 janvier 1965 – par proclamation de la Reine Elizabeth II elle-même. Cet étendard est inauguré au cours d'une cérémonie publique, le 15 février de la même année. Le début d'une belle histoire d'amour entre un peuple et son emblème national.

On October 14, just before its first landfall on the Carolinas, Hazel's wind speeds rocketed to 240 kilometres per hour (150 mph), and THAT qualified it to be upgraded to a Category 4 storm. By the time it reached Canada, it was an extratropical category 1. Malton Airport (now Lester B. Pearson International Airport), in the west end of the city reported 137 mm (5.4 in) of rain, with the totals increasing until past Brampton which had been in the crosshairs of over 200mm!

First elected in 1949, he was the youngest cabinet minister appointed to Louis S. St. Laurent's government eight years later. He subsequently held senior posts in the governments of Lester B. Pearson and Pierre E. Trudeau, who defeated him for the Liberal Party leadership in 1968. The following year, after achieving the rank of senior minister, which was later designated Deputy Prime Minister, Hellyer resigned from the Trudeau cabinet on a question of principle related to housing. Although Hellyer is best known for the unification of the Canadian Armed Forces and for his 1968 chairmanship of the Task Force on Housing and Urban Development, he has maintained a life-long interest in macroeconomics. Through the years, as a journalist and political commentator, he has continued to fight for economic reforms and has written several books on the subject.       A man of many interests, Hellyer's ideas are not classroom abstractions.

In recent years he has become interested in the extraterrestrial presence and their superior technology that we have been emulating.

Au cours des années 1960, le Canada se retrouve pris en tenaille entre ses repères traditionnels britanniques et une volonté de se créer une identité propre. Parallèlement, plusieurs ténors de l'identité québécoise se montrent de plus en plus critiques envers le biculturalisme canadien et le remettent en question. Afin de faire le point sur la question et de dénouer l'impasse dans laquelle le Canada semble être embourbé, le premier ministre Lester B. Pearson convoque une commission d'enquête sur la question en 1963. 3600 secondes d'histoire vous propose ce soir de plonger dans les dessous de la Commission Laurendeau-Dunton en compagnie de Valérie Lapointe-Gagnon, professeure adjointe en Histoire et droits linguistiques au Campus Saint-Jean de l'Université d'Alberta. Première diffusion le 21 décembre 2016 sur les ondes de CHYZ 94,3 (Université Laval)

Carol Heffernan, directrice générale adjointe de la Commission scolaire Lester B. Pearson, explique pourquoi sa commission a acheté des centaines de purificateurs d'air; Armin Morattab, dont le frère jumeau est décédé dans l'écrasement d'un avion en Iran, revient sur l'événement en ce premier anniversaire; le psychologue et spécialiste de la réussite scolaire Égide Royer donne quelques idées de mesures pour venir en aide aux élèves en difficulté; et la Dre Mylène Drouin, directrice générale de la Santé publique de Montréal, ainsi que Valérie Plante, mairesse de Montréal, font respectivement le point sur la pandémie à Montréal.

In 1956 the United Nations was in turmoil as an Anglo-French-Israeli alliance attacked and invaded Egypt. Global public opinion was strongly against this bold move and it seemed like there was no solution in sight. Until, Canadian diplomat Lester B. Pearson stepped in with a radical proposal, one that would set a template for UN Peacekeeping operations for the rest of the 20th century.

From Global Warming to The Extraterrestrial Presence and Technology - Paul Hellyer was Canada's youngest Member of Parliament when he was first elected in 1949 and the youngest cabinet minister appointed to Louis S. St. Laurent's government eight years later. After a stint in opposition he subsequently held senior posts in the governments of Lester B. Pearson and Pierre E. Trudeau, who defeated him for the Liberal Party leadership in 1968. The following year, after achieving the rank of senior minister, which was later designated Deputy Prime Minister, Hellyer resigned from the Trudeau cabinet on a question of principle related to housing. Although Hellyer is best known for the unification of the Canadian Armed Forces and for his 1968 chairmanship of the Task Force on Housing and Urban Development, he has maintained a life-long interest in macroeconomics. This led him to form Action Canada, a populist movement dedicated to the concepts of full employment and low inflation with an emphasis on quality-of-life issues. Through the years, as a journalist and political commentator, he has continued to fight for economic reforms and has written several books on the subject. A man of many interests, Hellyer's ideas are not classroom abstractions. He was born and raised on a farm and his business experience includes manufacturing, retailing, construction, land development, tourism and publishing. He has also been active in community affairs including the arts and studied voice at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto. His multi-faceted career, in addition to a near lifetime in politics, and union membership as a radio and TV commentator, gives Hellyer a rare perspective on what has gone wrong with the economy and what has to be done about it. - www.paulhellyerweb.com

Nobel Peace Prize winner and former Prime Minster Lester B. Pearson dies. When Lester B. Pearson died on December 27, 1972, he left his mark on Canada and the world. Born in Ontario in 1897 and schooled throughout the province, Pearson graduated from the University of Toronto in 1919, after enlisting for combat during World War II. He went to Oxford University on a scholarship and upon his return, joined the Department of External Affairs. Through hard work and a pleasant demeanor, Pearson worked his way up the ranks, becoming Canada’s ambassador to Washington, DC and then deputy minister. He moved into politics and sat in the cabinet of Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent at a time when Canada’s international influence was at its peak. Pearson became president of the UN in 1952 and was the architect behind the peace-keeping strategy that prevented war during the Suez crisis of 1956. For his efforts, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. After a time in Opposition, Pearson became leader of Canada’s Liberal Party and prime minister between 1963 and 1968 – all with minority governments. During his years in office, Canada acquired a new flag, the Canada Pension Plan, Medicare and many other progressive initiatives. He also opened up Canada’s immigration process to people of all nationalities. He retired from politics in 1968 at the age of 71. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

French President Charles de Gaulle shouts “Vivre le Quebec libre!” in Montreal. In 1967, Canadian Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson invited French President Charles de Gaulle to Canada on a journey that would include many stops and the usual diplomatic fanfare. On July 24, 1967, as de Gaulle was delivering a speech at Expo 67 in Montreal, he shouted “Vivre le Quebec libre!” The message, meaning “long live free Quebec,” prompted roars of approval from the crowd, but condemnation throughout the country. Given the growing concerns about Canadian French separatism at the time, Prime Minister Pearson decided to issue a response on television and radio. Canadians, he said, do not need to be liberated. In retaliation, de Gaulle pulled out of the trip, refusing even to show up for a state dinner with the prime minister the next day. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Wayne Gretzky 9 to 99 Wayne Douglas Gretzky CC ( born January 26, 1961) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player and former head coach. He played 20 seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL) for four teams from 1979 to 1999. Nicknamed "The Great One", he has been called "the greatest hockey player ever" by many sportswriters, players, and the NHL itself. He is the leading scorer in NHL history, with more goals and assists than any other player. He scored more assists than any other player scored total points, and is the only NHL player to total over 200 points in one season – a feat he accomplished four times. In addition, he tallied over 100 points in 16 professional seasons, 14 of them consecutive. At the time of his retirement in 1999, he held 61 NHL records: 40 regular-season records, 15 playoff records, and six All-Star records. As of 2014, he still holds 60 NHL records. Born and raised in Brantford, Ontario, Gretzky honed his skills at a backyard rink and regularly played minor hockey at a level far above his peers. Despite his unimpressive stature, strength and speed, Gretzky's intelligence and reading of the game were unrivaled. He was adept at dodging checks from opposing players, and consistently anticipated where the puck was going to be and executed the right move at the right time. Gretzky became known for setting up behind his opponent's net, an area that was nicknamed "Gretzky's office". In 1978, Gretzky signed with the Indianapolis Racers of the World Hockey Association (WHA), where he briefly played before being traded to the Edmonton Oilers. When the WHA folded, the Oilers joined the NHL, where he established many scoring records and led his team to four Stanley Cup championships. His trade to the Los Angeles Kings on August 9, 1988, had an immediate impact on the team's performance, eventually leading them to the 1993 Stanley Cup Finals, and he is credited with popularizing hockey in California. Gretzky played briefly for the St. Louis Blues before finishing his career with the New York Rangers. Gretzky captured nine Hart Trophies as the most valuable player, ten Art Ross Trophies for most points in a season, two Conn Smythe Trophies as playoff MVP, and five Lester B. Pearson Awards (now called the Ted Lindsay Award) for most outstanding player as judged by other players. He won the Lady Byng Trophy for sportsmanship and performance five times, and often spoke out against fighting in hockey. After his retirement in 1999, Gretzky was immediately inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, making him the most recent player to have the waiting period waived. The NHL retired his jersey number 99 league-wide, making him the only player to receive this honor. He was one of six players voted to the International Ice Hockey Federation's (IIHF) Centennial All-Star Team. Gretzky became executive director for the Canadian national men's hockey team during the 2002 Winter Olympics, in which the team won a gold medal. In 2000, he became part owner of the Phoenix Coyotes, and following the 2004–05 NHL lockout he became the team's head coach. In 2004, he was inducted into the Ontario Sports Hall of Fame. In September 2009, following the franchise's bankruptcy, Gretzky resigned as coach and relinquished his ownership share. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_Gretzky

Lester "Mike" Pearson was an extraordinary politician. He was also an extraordinary athlete, diplomat, leader, teacher, writer and student. And yet, despite all of this, and, the fact that during his lifetime he was the world's best known Canadian, many are today unaware of the important role he played in creating modern Canada with its enviable social programs and economic safeguards. Andrew Cohen's biography of Pearson, part of Penguin's Extraordinary Canadians series, sets out to rectify this as it explores the various, successful lives this man led, and the contributions he made both to the building of Canada and world peace.

Darren steadfastly denies that he has a problem. We hear a selection from the Canadian National Radio Archives from 1965 featuring Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson. Then Darren ends the show, trying all the while not to wake up his grandmother. Doesn't sound like enough stuff for a whole episode, does it?
