Wake up world, people are getting cancer, brain tumours and pains from this technology, wake up.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone knows Safety Code 6 is well behind, it was written long ago based on technology that Health Canada never really studied at all, they just took the word of industry paid labs.<\/p>\n<p>If you are not familiar with it, check out the documentary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IJbCa-MZwXM\">Public Exposure: DNA, Democracy and the &#8216;Wireless Revolution&#8217;<\/a>, or the <a href=\"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/?p=1017\">CTV investigation on BC Cancer rep claiming that wireless is safe, and they are not even an official Doctor<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The blue berry farmer didnt want it there, still Telus proceeded to place two Telus Macro Cells on these poles close to their farm.<\/p>\n<p>Telus reps states that three times they consulted with the Farmer to lower his concerns. \u00a0What is Telus going to do with he or his neighbours get cancer? \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/?page_id=8096\">There are more then enough studies that show effects from wireless<\/a>, so whats the real need for these two towers, so people can use cell phones in their cars?, which RCMP are strongly against.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/berryfarm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
