smart meters are coming to Saskatchewan

Letter to the Editor: Not so smart

As reported in your newspaper, **smart meters** are coming to Saskatchewan. Your

readers might be interested to know that countries world-wide are digging in

their heels against this terribly dangerous and flawed technology.

At least 50 B.C. municipalities have voted various delaying tactics including

outright bans. Several serious house fires, including two last Friday in

Mission, B.C., have been attributed to the installation of smart meters. Over

800 smart-meter fires have been documented in California alone. In many cases,

neither the utilities nor the insurance companies will accept responsibility.

France, at a cost of 75 million euros, is removing all wi-fi from its public

schools. Pourquoi?

Italy has smart meters, but they are all hard-wired, using fibre optics. Now

that's smart! Other nations have just banned them...period!

The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared all wireless technology a Class

2B carcinogen. That's cancer, folks.

You probably know someone who can't use a microwave or go near high-power

transmission lines without getting ill. It's called hyperelectrosensitivity,

it's on the rise and the WHO is taking it seriously. Stack all the cordless

phones, cell phones, iPods, TV remotes, microwave ovens, baby monitors and all

the other wireless devices in your life, and there is a host of them, one on top

of the other and you have a life-threatening Dagwood sandwich right here in your

own *hood.

Cheaper rates - don't believe it for one minute. And I almost forgot. The smart

grid can be easily hacked into and creates a huge, whole new invasion of your,

yes, your privacy. Smart meters aren't very smart
