Canada's Position on UFO Disclosure

Canada's Position on UFO Disclosure: 

A Byproduct of U.S. Policy

Since the release of the Project for a New American Century (PNAC) document in 1997 by William Kristol and Robert Kagan, Canada has often found itself navigating the complex waters of U.S. foreign policy, particularly regarding issues of national security and global dominance. 

_________________

The PNAC outlined a vision for maintaining American hegemony and broad-spectrum military engagement, which has inadvertently muted Canada’s ability to assert its own stance on various international issues, including the intriguing and contentious subject of unidentified flying objects (UFOs).

There is a broader journalistic context to this mode of reasoning.

The New York Times 2017 article Glowing Auras and ‘Black Money’: The Pentagon’s Mysterious U.F.O. Program by Leslie Kean and Ralph Blumenthal - ignited a nation-wide UFO firestorm - not diminished to this day. 

This groundbreaking article in The New York Times brought to light the Pentagon's Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), funded by a remarkable $2 million allocation by then Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. 

This investment marked a pivotal moment in the U.S. government's acknowledgment of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) and set in motion a series of events that still resonate within the corridors of Congress today.

Culture of Compliance
Historically, Canada has been a partner to the U.S. in intelligence-sharing and defence protocols, and this partnership has created a dynamic where Canadian autonomy is sometimes controlled and overshadowed by American interests. 

A prime example of this control occurred when Canada - as part of the Five Eyes Intelligence Alliance - was directed by the Pentagon to attend a UFO briefing. Upon the release of this news, CBC reported that the substance of the briefing and what Royal Canadian Air Force official(s) attended, the briefing remains classified. As expected, not a single word of it has yet been mentioned on the floor of the House of Commons.

The reluctance on the part of the Canadian government to publicly engage the UFO phenomena can be attributed to a culture of compliance that has developed, often leaving Canadians wondering about their government’s position on the matter.

While Canada possesses a wealth of compelling sightings and incidents—as demonstrated by the 9500 UFO files at Library and Archives Canada — as well as the recently released study - Sky Canada Project - our government's silence can be viewed as a reflection of a broader adherence to U.S. guidelines.
 
The stage was set in a memo issued by the Canadian Joint Intelligence Committee.
"The present USAF policy is to play down the subject..."
The operational approach of the U.S. regarding UFOs, especially in the context of national security and defense, has fostered an environment where Canada feels constrained. 

As demonstrated by the Canadian Joint Intelligence Committee document “Flying Saucers” the U.S. has maintained a tight grip on both military and civilian disclosures related to UFOs, Canada appears content, perhaps out of necessity, to remain in the shadows, fostering perceptions that there is little room for independent Canadian inquiry. 

The refusal or hesitation of Canada to aggressively pursue UFO investigation and disclosure can be interpreted as both a cautious diplomatic maneuver and a reluctance to challenge the U.S. narrative. 

Consequently, Canadians often hear more about the Pentagon's stance and less about their own government’s perspectives or findings.

This intricate web of geopolitical dynamics highlights an essential question: 
How does Canada reclaim its voice in the arena of UFO research and discourse?




Time for a New Strategy
To move forward, Canada may need to consider diplomatic strategies that either align more closely with independent investigations or work to assert its own identity in the broader international conversation about UFOs—one that respects its historical alliance with the U.S. while simultaneously championing its unique contributions to understanding unexplained aerial phenomena.

While the PNAC's global strategy may have indirectly muted Canada's exploration into UFOs, it presents an opportunity for Canadian policymakers and citizens alike to consider what an assertive stance could look like. 
Embracing a newfound curiosity around UFOs, paired with a willingness to question existing frameworks imposed by U.S. dominance, may allow Canada to redefine its position within this enigma of the skies. 

It is time for Canada to emerge from behind the proverbial U.S. skirt and boldly engage in conversations that intrigue not only its populace but the world at large.
 
Former MP Larry Maguire and UAP
As far back as 2022 then MP Larry Maguire began to assert the need for the Canadian government to take a more aggressive interest in UAP on CTV national television. In addition Maguire later challenged a Deputy Minister and a Minister of Defence about their lack of knowledge concerning UAP. 

Maguire followed this interview with an unprecedented appearance at a landmark international UAP conference at Stanford University. Maguire's address before UAP experts signalled a clear challenge to the Canadian government's lack of engagement on the matter. 

Not since the late Hon. Paul T. Hellyer, former Deputy Prime Minister of Canada under Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau and Minister of National Defence under PM Lester B. Pearson had a political figure challenged the Canadian government's lack of interest in UFOs.

Canadians for Disclosure
This is precisely why the initiatives imbedded in Canadians for Disclosure grass roots tactics and strategies are necessary at this juncture in Canadian history.

Canadian citizens interested in finding out more about the Canadians for Disclosure (CfD) grass roots Plan of Action were invited to join the CfD General Meeting on Sunday May 25, 2025. Since this meeting the membership of CfD has grown from an initial 28 members to now 60 members and growing.

Canadians for Disclosure is proud to have 
MUFON CANADA as a supporter.

CfD seeks advocates for each of the 343 
seats in the House of Commons

Message to Canadians for Disclousre


Important Message from Victor Viggiani M.Ed.

Director, Canadians for Disclosure

Dear CfD Members – Verified and soon-to-be verified.


First and foremost, thank you to everyone who attended our General Meeting last Sunday. It was both encouraging and inspiring to witness the turnout and, more importantly, the sincere commitment demonstrated by all in attendance. We are indeed growing our membership. 


With your help to engage others we will expand our influence.


I want to take this opportunity to share a few foundational principles and strategic guidelines for all members—whether those already verified or considering membership—regarding CfD's direction and purpose.


Together with Cate and Craig, I have identified three core pillars that define the mission of CfD:

- Education

- Engagement

- Information


These focus specifically on Canada’s historical and ongoing involvement with the UFO/UAP phenomenon—previously referred to (especially in government records from 1952 into the 1980s) as "flying saucers." The language has changed over time, but the underlying issue has not.


Shockingly, aside from former MP Larry Maguire and current MPs Raquel Dancho and James Bezan, virtually no Members of Parliament have publicly acknowledged or engaged with Canada’s history in this area. 


Our mission is to change that.


Our Strategic Focus -

Our immediate and primary objective is to educate Members of Parliament. At this stage, nothing more—nothing less.


Why this specific focus?

First, because that goal is simple and achievable. Secondly, because the UFO/UAP subject is riddled with speculative tangents—questions about origins, appearance, inter-dimensionality, consciousness, quantum mechanics, abductions, video evidence, and more. 


While fascinating and deeply important, these discussions do not advance our current mission.

MPs need facts. 


MPs need documentation. That’s all they’ll respond to in the early stages. And this is where your role becomes critical at the grassroots level.


What We Ask of You

In collaboration with Cate and Craig, we will be equipping members with reliable resources and actionable tools to engage your MP. These interactions must remain focused, factual and free of speculative content.


This means:

Focusing solely on how you can contribute to educating your MP about Canada’s official historical and current engagement with the UFO/UAP matter.


Helping your MP unlearn their dismissive predispositions and begin to understand the issue as one of legitimate governmental interest.


We have no problem with members posting philosophical theories, fringe ideas, or personal experiences (no matter how valid they may be) but these - for the time being - cannot be the focus of our deliberations with MPs.


Our goal is simple:
We want this issue raised in Parliament.

And that will only happen through consistent, grassroots-level engagement by constituents like you—through letters, phoned calls and meetings with your MP.


We understand that some members have had significant personal experiences or hold strong views on the broader UAP topic. Those will be vital later. For now, we ask that you trust the strategy and stay the course.


With Parliament now in session, MPs have a full agenda. But that’s exactly why your presence and persistence at the local level is crucial.


Thank you for your dedication to this unprecedented initiative. 


Change is possible—but only with your commitment and action. 


I invite your comments and reactions. We will announce the date and time of future strategy meetings with you.


With sincere appreciation,
Victor Viggiani M.Ed.
Director, Canadians for Disclosure (CfD)

ZNN Editorial Update May 23, 2025

General Meeting Scheduled for
Sunday May 25, 2025 
4:00pm ET

Toronto [ZNN] The issue of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, commonly referred to as UFOs, has captured the interest and imagination of the general public for decades. 

Canada's 9500 UFO files in Library and Archives Canada demonstrate Canada's complex UFO history dating back to 1952.  

The manner in which this rich history has been unacknowledged by government reveals how the UFO matter has been sequestered from the Canadian people for too long.

It is now time to end this secrecy. 


A Distinctly Canadian Initiative

Canadians for Disclosure (CfD) is a national, non-partisan group of advocates, researchers, and concerned citizens committed to ending secrecy, advancing awareness, transparency, and public discourse around Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) in Canada.

_________________________

CfD is proud to work in cooperation with 

MUFON CANADA 

Canada's preeminent UFO 

investigative organization since 1969.

_________________________


CfD's mandate is simple:

  •  Foster collaboration among UAP-related organizations and leaders, 
  • Amplify Canadian voices in the global disclosure movement, and,
  • Advocate for formal recognition, study, and transparency from Canadian institutions.

Main Goal of CfD

The main strategic goal of Canadians for Disclosure (CfD) is to inform, educate and engage all Canadian Members of Parliament, the Media and the General Public about the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena. Members of Parliament remain our only voice in the House of Commons.


Why this and Why Now?

Several facts about UAP must be addressed:

  • Although Canada has a long history of involvement in the UFO/UAP issue, the Canadian government has remained virtually silent on UFOs.
  • According to Elections Canada, the agency that oversees Canadian Elections, there are 343 Members of Parliament in the House of Commons. These members remain uninformed about UAP. 
  • ZNN has been in communication with MPs, their Parliamentary Assistants and the media on Parliament Hill. These communications reveal one startling conclusion; 98% of Canadian MPs have no knowledge whatsoever about Canada's historical or current involvement with the UFO matter. Sample: RCMP document "UFO Found in Northern Saskatchewan" (pages 662 to 671 followed by multiple UFO artifacts images.)
In stark contrast to the Canadian government's lack of engagement, the U.S. government's disclosure activity has been active at all levels of inquiry. 

The U.S. government and its agencies have:
  • Established oversight investigative committees in their Senate and House of Representatives regarding UAP/UFOs,
  • Held multiple Congressional Hearings since 2021 at which former military and intelligence witnesses have given testimony about their direct contact with and retrieval of UFO artifacts and alien bodies,
  • Released, through the U.S. Pentagon, multiple previously classified videos of U.S. Navy pilot direct encounters with UAP, 
  • Held public press conferences on UAP,
  • Passed elaborate and comprehensive Senate legislation sponsored by Senator Chuck Schumer (Dem. NY) and Senator Mike Rounds (Dem. SD) outlining criteria and timelines for the public release of all UFO data since 1952,
  • Passed legislation establishing a nine member Presidential Review Board to review the release of UFO/UAP data to the public. 
_________________________

Action within the Canadian

 Parliament to date? None.

_______________________________
Despite this inaction - a continuous dialogue is about to occur in Canada.

If you wish further information please feel free to contact the undersigned. Join us on Sunday May 25.

JOURNALISTS, MEDIA REPS AND MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT 
ARE WELCOME TO JOIN THE CfD GENERAL MEETING.

UFOs Monitoring Nuclear Weapons facilities GLOBALLY

This Changes Everything - Deserving of a review by journalists.

Originally published December 29, 2024




 March 2, 2025

Toronto [ZNN] The mini-documentary included in this press release has been released by researcher Jesse Michels of American Alchemy.

Thus far no research documentary has organized the facts around the tampering of nuclear missile assets by UFOs more thoroughly.

For those journalists familiar with the history of ICBMs being activated or shut down by UFOs - this doc will confirm what you already have known all along.

For those not familiar with this matter - you are in for the shock of your life.

The unnerving part - missing pieces in the form of witness testimony have now been added.  

Should you decide to take the time to watch this shocking mini-documentary you will learn the United States of America, the most powerful military organization in the world, does not have complete control over its nuclear arsenal.

In this mini-doc you will also learn:

  • First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt wrote to Robert Oppenheimer to ask about his anti-gravitic technology experimentation.
  • Craft of unknown origin travelling at over 19,000 mph.
  • As recently as 2015 - 50 US ICBM missiles have been compromised.
  • At least eight military bases and nuclear launch facilities across the globe have been visited by UFOs.
  • And more...

As with any profound and penetrating revelation, it comes with a sense of foreboding that perplexes the uninitiated to the point of disbelief. 

Here we refer to the media who are resolved - because of editorial pressure - to ignore and remain oblivious to this phenomenon - despite the facts.

THE CHALLENGE TO JOURNALISTS 

Any journalist who may wish to expose the reality of UFOs shutting down nukes runs the great risk of either unwanted fame or professional suicide. 

First, be forewarned that should you as a journalist decide to bring this information to your editors for publication it could result in either the loss of your job or… a Pulitzer Prize.

Second, you will learn this documentary has been sent to members of the U.S. Congress by Mr. Steven Bassett - a registered disclosure advocate in Washington D.C. Mr. Bassett is the Director of the Paradigm Research Group.

Steven Bassett 

“I am emailing the link to every member of Congress who has addressed the UAP/NHI issue. Bet on the nuclear tampering witnesses testifying at the next congressional hearing - House or Senate.”

Because of its evolving foundational information base, ZNN will continue to update interested journalists on this issue.

Want to write a UAP ARTICLE?

Journalists who may be familiar with or unfamiliar with the UAP topic and who may be interested in co-authoring articles or obtaining research material from ZNN’s vast archive of research are invited to contact our News Director using the contact details below.
