Keep your Smart Meters
Re: Residents concerned by Smart Meter plan, July 28 - Aug. 3
As someone with electro-hypersensitivity, and legally disabled because of it, I don't appreciate anyone irradiating me with ever more electromagnetic radiation (EMR), no matter the source. I don't have wireless gadgets in my home, no microwave oven or cordless or cell phones, mostly because I don't need to be “connected” to everyone on the planet. Two years ago I discovered the reason I felt nausea, headaches, insomnia, and itchy skin was the cell tower and Wi-Fi at the university, and tenant's Wi-Fi at home. Now, I don't allow anyone to have wireless stuff in my house; leave it in the car along with your smokes. [Note to Hydro: leave your smart meters in the truck and get out of my neighbourhood!] If you think I'm crazy, fine, but remember canaries in the coal mine — when they stopped chirping, the miners knew they'd died of poisoned gas and it was time to get out now. So I'm your canary, and I'm still chirping. When I stop, you're toast.
