Canada, Ottawa & Vancouver Resists. The Darkside of Smart Meters pt1

Hydro Ottawa threatens to cut mom's power
Woman refuses to have smart meter installed in home

The registered letter that landed in Monica Bonnah's hands on Tuesday was the last straw for the Alta Vista mother of two.

After two years of polite requests, Hydro Ottawa threatened to cut Bonnah's power — she would be on the hook for any reconnection fees — if she didn't schedule an appointment to have a smart meter installed in her home within two business days.

"Why am I being forced to get a smart meter when I don't want one, and I've been telling them for two years? And don't tell me you're going to cut my electricity off. I've got two kids here and I pay my bills on time," said Bonnah. "I hang up my clothes, I do my laundry on the weekends, my lights are off when they're not in use. I don't need a smart meter to tell me when to be smart."

Another Ontario School removes Wi-Fi over health concerns

An Ontario private school has removed its wireless Internet system due to potential health concerns associated to it.

Pretty River Academy, located north of Toronto in Collingwood, is a private kindergarten to Grade 12 school with just under 150 students. Officials have switched to a hard-wire Internet system.

In May, the World Health Orgnization's International Agency for Research on Cancer reclassified radio frequency emitted by wireless devices as possibly carcinogenic.

The school's principal Roberta Murray Hirst said the new system was fairly effortless to install and the school wanted to choose the safest Internet option.

Dr. Magda Davis, who studies environmental contaminants at Trent University, hopes other schools will move towards this model.

"This is a much better way of connecting kids to the Internet, it's not nearly as dangerous as wireless," Havas said.

There have been no short or long term studies done on the impact of Wi-Fi, though some researchers believe children may absorb more radiation than adults. ....continues

In this invitational presentation to the San Francisco Tesla Society consulting engineer Rob States explains how PG&E's so-called 'smart' meters work and why they endanger health and privacy. He asks the obvious question, "Why would you trust the company that brought you Prop. 16?"

We use 1 light at a time at night and wear jackets in our house to keep warm. BC Hydro says that we use almost 2000kwh a billing period (2mos). Our bill is more then our landlords 4 bedroom house, that has a recording studio in their basement.

When Ive reached the maximum I go through my videos and delete some and go through my favorites and delete the ones that are no longer available for viewing then I have room again.

Thanks for sending this video response. It somehow got deleted in error but I found it again.. These things are a great big lie, everything has been presented in secret and (IMO) all smoke & mirrors all the way.. Just ask yourself this: what company in the world would be spending a billion dollars (first estimate , ho, ho) to help you use less of their product. Just insanity to believe this is what it is all about. Thats crazy to even contemplate. Power smart brought us 15 dollar light bulbs!

Education is the key, it is easy to cut energy with a little knowledge, but, of course the energy companies, oil companies might lose some revenue. Local Ceo made five million while cutting jobs, benefits, pensions.
