interest. A drive to see NB Power make another application to save money is rumoured. If NB Power saves money, but public health costs go up, that’s hardly good accounting.

The meters come with a display screen to show the cost of energy usage. Usage details are sent directly to head office so there is no need to have the meter read by a human being. No wonder power corporations are keen to install them.

These devices spread low frequency Electronic Magnetic Field or EMF radiation. We already get zapped by microwave ovens, computers, WiFi, cell phones, Bluetooth, power lines, and MRIs, do we need more? Electrosmog is the new term being used to describe the radiation soup we live in.

According to Canadians for Safe Technology (C4ST), a volunteer group with five years of history, the adoption of 5G technology should amplify concerns about wireless radiation. C4ST members even believe that wildlife will be impacted negatively.

A C4ST release quotes the medical director of the Environmental Health Clinic at Women’s College Hospital in Toronto saying, “My clinic is already assessing patients from across Ontario who are sensitive to microwave radiation from their wireless devices including cell phones, Wi-Fi, and an increasing number of smart appliances. We expect wireless 5G to add to this burden.”

I can see how too much radiation is risky for children. Screen time use by infants, toddlers, and preschoolers has exploded in the last 10 years. China now produces aprons to protect babies.

Nova Scotia Power wants to install $133 million worth of smart meters. The plan is to start in the Yarmouth area.
