I have no idea what they are putting into the water in Canada, but it's very, very strong. Not long ago were were treated to serious advice from a former Canadian defense minister on how to solve global warming. All we have to do is use all that alien technology the government is hiding from us, explained Paul Hellyer. It's that simple.
Today we get a lecture from another Canadian, this time a Canadian MP, Mike Lake, who is calling - seriously – for the protection of Bigfoot as an endangered species. Told ya it was strong stuff.
OTTAWA (AFP) – Bigfoot, the legendary hairy man-like beast said to roam the wildernesses of North America, is not shy, merely so rare it risks extinction and should be protected as an endangered species.
So says Canadian MP Mike Lake who has called for Bigfoot to be protected under Canada's species at risk act, alongside Whooping Cranes, Blue Whales, and Red Mulberry trees.
"The debate over their (Bigfoot's) existence is moot in the circumstance of their tenuous hold on merely existing," reads a petition presented by Lake to parliament in March and due to be discussed next week.
"Therefore, the petitioners request the House of Commons to establish immediate, comprehensive legislation to affect immediate protection of Bigfoot," says the petition signed by almost 500 of Lake's constituents in Edmonton, Alberta.
A similar appeal has been made to the US Congress.
Down through history, there have been numerous, if unsubstantiated sightings of Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch in North American folklore.
The beast is said to inhabit remote forests, mainly in the US Pacific northwest and western Canada, and many believe it could be related to the equally mythical Yeti said to have found its home in Tibet and Nepal.
While sometimes described as large, hairy bipedal hominoids, Bigfoot are considered by most experts to be a combination of folklore and hoaxes.
Malaysia official declares that there are no bigfoots (bigfeet?) anywhere in Malaysia; Canada wants to protect them. Or rather one MP who's been hitting the water harder than usual. Ok, let's go through the directions again: if you want to find an ivory-billed woodpecker, you have to look for a bigfoot. If you want to find a bigfoot, you have to look for Elvis. If you want to find Elvis, we'd recommend going on a snipe hunt.
No love for me eh?
Just some clarification.
Mike Lake has stated numerous times that he does not believe in Bigfoot, but was just doing his job as an MP in presenting the petition on behalf of one of his constituents.

Hmm. So if one of his constituents wants to repeal the law of gravity, he’d present the petition? Part of the problem with some of the more – to put it mildly – less than in touch with reality issues and the people who drive them is that they garner headlines with stuff like this. Shouldn’t a lawmaker be pretty selective about what he loans his name and credibility to?
