Dear Prime Minister Harper and B.C. Premier Clark,

Well, you have finally done it. At the age of 56, my optimistic belief in a democratic country and province has been shattered forever. I am no longer proud to be a Canadian. I am ashamed.

By forcing wireless technologies on every single Canadian, especially Wi-fi within all schools and installation of smart meters on every house and business, the federal and provincial governments made these decisions with big business to use every baby, child, and adult in our country as test guinea pigs. The public was not consulted. Scientific studies used and quoted by the governments are supported and biased in favour of the businesses manufacturing these technologies. Any reports by scientists outside of these big businesses, which have been warning of serious impacts to human health for years now, are being ignored and hidden.

Parents fighting for the right to protect their children from being unwilling test subjects are ignored, ridiculed, and shut out of voting against wireless installations in their children s schools by school boards.

Electricity customers are trying to fight against the installation of smart meters on their homes, in their neighbourhoods, and in their communities. But the federal government has failed to update Canadian health standards for protection of its citizens, under the Canadian Parliamentary Standing Committee on Health, by allowing Canada to continue to be renowned world-wide for its weak and outdated standards. And the provincial government of British Columbia changed the law so that BC Hydro is no longer accountable to the B.C. Utilities Commission in order to speed up implementation of smart meter technology. British Columbians were not consulted and had no input into these plans.

At present, individuals are trying to deal with schools and utility companies on their own. They are demanding other options. Some school boards/utility providers refuse this outright while others say they will get back to the parent/customer and that they 'may' offer options.

If you were a customer of any kind of business and were told that something was the latest fashion, you have to buy it, and that s all that is available. And, by the way, the manufacturer says that it s a perfectly safe product. What would you do? Would you just say, 'Oh, OK.'?

The citizens of Canada are customers of utility companies. If we are not happy with a product or the way a business is being run or the way we are being treated as the customer, we don t have to accept this behaviour from anyone or any company. The solution is simple. Thanks but no thanks. Your service and product are no longer wanted or required.

The situation for Canada s children in the school system is more grave. They cannot refuse 'service' and are totally vulnerable to their environment. It is the parents who must speak up for them and take action to protect them. That is their job.

I believe that governments and businesses have forgotten that all Canadians are their customers. If the citizens of Canada and British Columbia get angry enough about having their human rights taken away from them (to do their own research into and make their own personal decisions about what they believe is healthy for themselves and their family), the governments and businesses will be in trouble. Parents can decide to take action and withdraw their children out of all schools that are exposing their children for 6 hours/day, 5 days/week, for 13+ years. Utility customers can stop receiving and paying for electricity and completely remove themselves from all ramifications of wireless smart meter technology (i.e. fires, explosions, constant electromagnetic field exposure, enormous debts to replace analog meters, promised future rate increases, control of use from utility HQ, and high probability of law suit debts against utility companies which will be paid for by the customer). It s easy, they can just go off-the-grid. Unfortunately, because most utility services are provided by monopolies, customers cannot shop for the best deal.

Canadians have been laid back too long. Government spending and decision-making is totally out of control. Big business is telling its customers that they have to buy a certain product and there is no price control on that product. You have to pay what they say.

It s time for Canadians to do what we have done in the past: stand up for ourselves, be strong, help one another, and use our own intelligence to make our own decisions. The individual has a lot of power if we join together and just say 'No' and 'Stop'. The baby boomer population is enormous. We have the experience to stand up for what we believe in. It s time to do so again.

Are you going to do your jobs and protect the citizens of your country and province? Or do we have to stand up and say 'No', we will not participate in this craziness.

You both have the power to stop the smart meter program and curtail rampant wireless technologies. You both have the power to upgrade our Canadian health standards and bring them up-to-date and in-line with the realities of technology in 2011. Wireless technologies are bombarding the population and it is only because the EMR and EMFs are invisible that people aren t screaming bloody murder about it. What will happen when 50% or more Canadians become ill with radiation sickness? The 'estimate' for electrohypersensitivity (EHS) in the general population is at least 35% mild and 3-5% extreme right now. Where will these people live when smart meters are everywhere? What happens if 50% or more of the population develop extreme EHS? Will we have to stop using electricity?

Please, do the honourable thing. Protect the citizens of Canada and British Columbia. Stop wireless smart meters and proliferation of wireless technologies.

Sincerely,

Linda R. Floyd, 230 Cedar Lane, Salt Spring Island, B.C. V8K 1R3

Letter to the Minister of Health

Minister Aglukkaq, Ms. Pieterson,

For years Health Canada has had evidence from various sources that radiation below Safety Code 6 s allowable limits cause significant harm. Yet both of you and others in Health Canada continue to give the public false assurances that the contrary is true. You both have hidden behind WHO s and ICNIRP s guidelines which, they admit, apply only to thermal radiation and are not protective or applicable to radiation from wireless devices, such as cell transmitters, phones, and WiFi. You continue to recommend that provincial medical officers ignore independent health studies which show that children are especially vulnerable to this radiation and encourage proliferation of WiFi and smart meters in every community.

It is with faint hope that I send you yet one more piece of evidence showing that WHO and ICNIRP are colluding with industry to maintain, or even increase, the current radiation exposure limits. In response to each letter I have sent with peer-reviewed, gold standard studies showing harm to DNA, heart, fertility, and the blood brain barrier I received a form letter telling me that Safety Code 6 is safe. I expect nothing different with regard to this letter. Instead I am ensuring that you cannot say you were not aware of this information when you are called forward to testify, be it in a court of law or before a higher power.

Dr. Don Maisch has spent decades researching these 2 agencies, following the infiltration by industry, the money spent to ensure the public s interest will be suppressed for the sake of profit. The same persons use the same terminology, e.g. risk assessment and weight of evidence, to justify the agencies' actions. Over the years we have all learned what these terms mean to them and to Health Canada:

- Risk assessment means: Do the financial costs justify taking action? Until the health costs in dollars and cents outweigh the financial costs of doing things in a safer way, nothing should be done. (A cost-benefit analysis at its basest.) How much is the life of a child, or ten, worth? Compare this with the cost of putting a hydro line underground? If only a few hundred additional people get cancer from cell transmitters, that can't justify the cost of requiring fiber optic cables instead of towers near homes and schools.

- Weight of evidence: The industry will have many studies produced showing no harm. They will outnumber the independent studies which show harm. This will be used as evidence to support the statement that there is no evidence of harm as if a study showing no harm negates a study showing harm. (The 'scale of justice'?) The public will never realize that if something is safe there would never be a study showing harmful effects.

You and Health Canada can no longer hide behind WHO and ICNIRP. Their bias and conflict of interest is well documented. Now, what justification will you use to continue to allow Canadians to be exposed to dangerous environments?

I look forward to hearing your responses.

Babies Hearing Loss

Letter to the Premier of BC

Dear Premier Clark,

I am writing to you hoping that when you say you are concerned about the health of our children you are both sincere and willing to take action to prevent harm to them.

I am speaking specifically about the plans your government has to install smart meters in every home and apartment. There are many reasons for concern, but my prime one is the high level of radiation emitted by the meters. Compounded by the close proximity of several within a short distance in a neighbourhood, and the reflective element within a home actual radiation levels are even higher. To substantiate my statement, I refer you to the link at http://sagereports.com/smart-meter-rf/.

Cindy Sage has accumulated scientific data showing that levels radiation will far exceed those allowed under Health Canada s Safety Code 6, already one of the worst standards in the developed world. No testing has been done on these meters, resulting in this extraordinary exposure. In California approximately 15% of people suffer immediate biological effects, ranging from tinnitus, and headaches to seizures.

In addition to radiation, meters cause harmful interference which has been documented, with appliances and medical devices malfunctioning. Even home security systems fail.

Most people are angry because of the significantly and consistently higher electrical bills, some due to hacking. Wait until they find out their homes have been left unprotected or heart monitors do not work properly. I am encouraging them to look at a youtube by an electrical engineer, called 'The Dark Side of Smart Meters.'

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLeCTaSG2-U

Lawsuits are pending in California, as more than 38 cities and counties have imposed moratoriums on future installations.

If you read the link I have attached and fail to fear for the safety of our children, then think about the reaction from the public once these other problems are encountered. Should you stop the smart meter program and call for an independent investigation into the costs, whether financial, health or security, this will make a significant impact on people come the fall elections. This is an issue that will not be soon forgotten, nor forgiven.

Most sincerely,
Sharon Noble
