Parents have been demanding that their children receive the tools needed to meet the demands of the 21st century.\u00a0 And their\u00a0teachers are eager to meet these demands.\u00a0 The problem is they all\u00a0assume that WiFi is 21st Century.<\/p>\n<p>WiFi isn&#8217;t the 21st Century.\u00a0The 21st Century is fibre optic cable.\u00a0It&#8217;s\u00a0faster, carries more data, is safer (no electromagnetic radiation or EMR), and\u00a0is less likely to be stolen (hacked into).\u00a0 That&#8217;s fibre optic cable.\u00a0 And what\u00a0about\u00a0WiFi?\u00a0 It&#8217;s slightly more convenient, you don&#8217;t have a cable. That&#8217;s it. That&#8217;s\u00a0all it has going for it.\u00a0And for the sake of\u00a0that small convenience and a superb industry con job, too many people in positions of authority are willing to put their charges in harm&#8217;s way.<\/p>\n<p>What researchers like Dr. David Carpenter\u00a0and Dr. Magda Havas described on 16:9 was technology that is harmful, that was never developed to be used around the general public. Dr. Havas showed how EMR that is emitted from wireless devices like WiFi can cause\u00a0tachycardia in healthy people. Parents in Simcoe, Ontario have reported children suffering rapid heart beat, breathlessness, and nausea after exposure to WiFi in their schools. Some people are like the proverbial canary in the mine, showing health effects due to exposure to EMR long before others.<\/p>\n<p>This &#8220;allergy&#8221; is called electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS), and it is estimated that at least 3% of the population suffers from it to one degree or another, with skin rashes, headaches, and racing heart. for example. \u00a0EHS is a recognized disability by the Canadian Government, Canadian Human Rights Commission, and by the Americans with Disabilities Act,\u00a0and some European governments. Several Canadian cities, led by Colwood, BC, officially have months devoted to educating the public about this increasingly common health problem, which results directly from the electromagnetic smog which is engulfing our environment.<\/p>\n<p>Health Canada keeps telling schools and the public that there are no studies showing harm\u00a0from EMR.\u00a0 This is\u00a0a lie. \u00a0Studies done decades ago by the military in the U.S., Britain, and Russsia demonstrated the harm associated with this type of low level radiation and\u00a0even used it as a weapon.\u00a0 Many other countries are limiting exposure to thousands of times less than Canada allows, and WiFi is being removed from schools, libraries, and hospitals all over the world.<\/p>\n<p>So why is Health Canada so far out of step with the rest of the world?\u00a0 Well,\u00a0that&#8217;s what happens when a government agency becomes the servant of industry.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Please sign the petition<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.citizensforsafetechnology.org\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>www.citizensforsafetechnology.org<\/strong><\/a><strong> <\/strong>and<strong> tell Parliament WiFi does not belong in schools.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sharon Noble<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.<\/p>\n<div>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/Letter_to_Minister_of_Education_re_Wi_Fi_in_Schools.pdf\">Letter to Minister of Education re WiFi in Schools<\/a><\/h2>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/WiFi_Supporting_Material.pdf\">WiFi Supporting Material<\/a><\/h2>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/Switzerland_gives_free_fibre_optics_to_schools_WiFi_is_out.pdf\">Switzerland gives free fibre optics to schools WiFi is out<\/a><\/h2>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KN7VetsCR2I\">France Removes WIFI<\/a><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,17,249,5,59,3,63,23,7,12,4],"tags":[13,38,37],"class_list":["post-1170","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bluetooth","category-bc","category-dr-perry-kendall","category-ehs","category-government","category-health_and_safety","category-kendall","category-school","category-wifi","category-wimax","category-wireless_devices","tag-health","tag-school-2","tag-wifi-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1170","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1170"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1170\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5710,"href":"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1170\/revisions\/5710"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1170"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1170"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1170"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
