incorrect my wife and i spent the first week of february in north vancouveralthough eteiriperatures may have been slight- ly higher the weather was riot nice the skies were gray- even when it wasnt raining coming back to bitter winds snow and sunshinewas a welcome change arid dont kid yourself that the traffic is any better iri many cases it js much worse not only is traffic from the north shore

canadian military may be underpaid poorly equipped and sent to keep peace in blooddrenched war zones with the understanding that theyd bet- ter be nice to everybody or well come down on them like a ton of bricks but at least somebody in the ministry of dences ivory tower has his priorities straight like ensuring that our communica tions with space aliens are politically correct a couple of defence department sci entists have been broadcasting mathe matical messages to the heavens for the benefit of whatever might be out there listening its not the first time this has been done i remember back in the 1970s somebody sent out a satellite that con tained a compendium of earth wisdom includinga recording of johnny b goode but astrophysicists yvan dutil and stephane dumas are asking prime minister jean chretien to prevent ama teurs from using new technologies to send their own unauthorized broad casts after all an irresponsible message to aliens could have dire consequences if for example somebody sent them that new song by cher the extraterres trials might fry the earth and really who could blame them and since canada leads the world in ensuring that all public statements are serisitive to every possible fragile sensibility obviously were the ones to make sure et isnt offended so even though the reform- party objects to the cost of this project we can all agree there should be some rules of engagement for talking to aliens dont mention the alien autopsy dont mention that were delicious with fava beans and a nice chianti and whatever you do dont conduct any provincial election polls in space- wait ive just received a commu nique dear mr teetzel it has come to our attention that you have been writing columns that are incomprehensible to any form of intel ligent earth life given that there are large pockets of suspected extraterrestrials in york region we demand that you cease arid desist immediately sincerely canadas national space
