1) Honeybees keep dying in increasing numbers every year. The many articles about this omit the fact that microwave radiation has been shown to weaken their immune system and to interfere with their navigational system. It is obvious that the media just doesn’t want to open this topic for debate.

Honeybees May Be Dying in Larger Numbers Due to Climate Change
“U.S. beekeepers said 40 percent of their hives, also called colonies, died unexpectedly during the year that ended March 31, according to a survey released Wednesday by researchers from Auburn University and the University of Maryland. That’s up from 33 percent a year earlier.
Elevated bee-loss rates have been an agricultural concern for the past decade, since a mysterious malady called Colony Collapse Disorder coincided with a doubling of honeybee death rates and spurred greater attention and research on commercial and wild bees. Higher death rates make pollination more expensive for beekeepers and farmers.”
2) Continuation and expansion of “Phonegate” by Dr. Arazi in France.
New withdrawal and updates for four mobile phones
« it is now the turn of four new smartphones exceeding the 2 W/kg Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) threshold for the trunk to have to ensure compliance…
In a first press release published on the ANFR website on Tuesday 29 May 2018, the Agency announced the withdrawal from the market of the NEFFOS X1 TP902 phone imported by TP-Link France and stated: « The measurements revealed that the regulatory limit of 2 W/kg (Watt per kilogram) had been exceeded by 0.52 W/kg, i.e. with a value of 2.52 W/kg on the rear of the telephone ».
In a second press release appearing the same day, ANFR announced having requested the updating of three phones of the brands Alcatel PIXI 4-6 », Echo Star Plus and Huawei Honor 8…
« Millions of mobile phones are concerned in France, tens of millions in Europe, hundreds of millions internationally ».”
3) Thanks to some help from the UBCM Union of BC Municipalities, Hudson’s Hope is seeing the financial benefit of making its own power. Community- or neighbourhood-owned solar systems could help many to cut ties with BC Hydro / FortisBC, thus realizing major savings as costs for electricity continue to rise and will do so, especially with expensive, wasteful projects like smeters and Site C.

“In total, the District has installed 1550 solar panels on nine municipal facilities, creating B.C.’s largest municipal solar project and making Hudson’s Hope the most-solarized community per capita in the province. As the solar panels go up, the District says its electrical bills are going down.”

4) From someone in the USA. Information about 5G is getting out there, at least in the rest of the world. I have seen precious little in Canada.
“I caught the last bit of a story on 5G and cancer on RT America’s News with Ed Schultz. It looked really good.
It’s on Comcast Channel 103 in Monterey. The program will be repeated at 3 AM GMT, which I think is 8 PM PDT and 11 PM EDT. https://www.rt.com/schedule/usa/ – it can be watched live online if your TV provider does not carry RT.
Tomorrow the show will be linked here (shows are posted the following day): https://www.rt.com/shows/news-with-ed-schultz/”

Letters:
Some to Provincial Health Officer Bonnie Henry. Please consider helping to keep the pressure on her. She needs to acknowledge the current science. If we are silent, she will think we are happy with the way things are!!! Silence is consent.

Subject: Re: Requesting a response to the letter from Parents, Teachers and Students April 20, 2018
Dear Dr. Bonnie Henry,
We request that the BC Provincial Health Officer provide the public with an official response to the findings of the US National Toxicology Program Expert Panel who concluded that there is “Clear Evidence of Carcinogenic Activity” and the association of cancer in the heart and brain and cell phone radiation. This is serious health and safety matter that will cause permanent damage to thousands of children in all our public schools. Currently it is mandatory that our children be exposed RF Microwave Radiation with no way to shield themselves from this full body radiation, much like the rats used in this study.
Parents have been robbed of their right to decide if this chronic exposure, an established 2B carcinogen listed next to lead, DDT, methyl mercury, chloroform, and car exhaust, is an acceptable risk or whether precautionary measures should be implemented given there is alternative simple solution.
More and more schools are applying a ‘No cell phone’ policy during school hours due to distractions that negatively impact learning. This has made a huge impact on the reduction of radiation exposure our children are experiencing in our classrooms. However, the removal of the industrial strength Wi-Fi routers should be implemented immediately and return to hard-wired Internet, which is faster, cheaper, more reliable, more secure and safer than wireless networks.
For as little as a one-time cost of $500 US dollars every classroom would be provided with 40 Ethernet ports plus adapters for their wireless devices, costing about $20 per child, a small price to pay compared to brain surgery, chemotherapy, radiation treatments, etc.
As the Provincial Health Officer you have a duty to take reasonable steps to reduce wireless radiation in our schools given the overwhelming amount of evidence of harm that concerned parents have submitted.
Respectfully,

Dear Dr. Bonnie Henry,
Parents, teachers and students want to know why the BC Provincial Health Officer has not done her due diligence and informed the School Boards about the health risks from the prolonged and accumulative exposure to RF radiation emitting from wireless technology in our schools.
On March 26-29, 2018, the National Toxicology Program (NTP), a 10-year study costing the US 25 million dollars, had eleven experts review the reports from the NTP’s cell phone radiation studies. They concluded that exposure to cell phone radiation caused a rare cancer, malignant schwannoma in the heart, and incidences of glioma, a rare, aggressive and highly malignant brain cancer.
https://ehtrust.org/cell-phone-radiofrequency-radiation-study/
Conclusions were based on NTP’s scale of “clear evidence”, “some evidence”, “equivocal evidence”, and “no evidence”. Clear Evidence being conclusive.

https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/ntp/about_ntp/trpanel/2018/march/actions20180328_508.pdf
“The evidence indicating wireless is carcinogenic has increased and can no longer be ignored,” stated University of Toronto Dalla Lana School of Public Health Professor Emeritus Anthony B. Miller MD, Member of the Royal Colleges of Physicians of Canada and the UK, and Senior Medical Advisor to EHT who is also a long-term advisor to the World Health Organization.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=5&v=bgGJeOVEdQs
Soon after, the Ramazzini Institute also completed the world’s largest animal study on cell tower radiation and confirmed the findings of the National Toxicology Program link to Cancer. This information, accompanied with the over 26,000 peer reviewed studies by scientists and medical experts https://www.emf-portal.org/en, is more than enough evidence for you to apply the Precautionary Principle to protect our children.
http://www.sbwire.com/press-releases/worlds-largest-animal-study-on-cell-tower-radiation-confirms-cancer-link-953696.htm
In January 1998, The Wingspread Conference held a three-day academic conference where the Precautionary Principle was defined. It was agreed the Precautionary Principle would be implemented when an activity raises threats of harm to human health or the environment, even if some cause and effect relationships are not fully established scientifically. The Precautionary Principle shifts the burden of proof, insisting that those responsible for an activity must vouch for its harmlessness and be held responsible if damage occurs.
http://sehn.org/wingspread-conference-on-the-precautionary-principle/
Health is a Provincial Jurisdiction. Your duty and obligation as the Provincial Health Officer and as a Doctor is to implement the Precautionary Principle by honouring your Hippocratic Oath, “nil nocere” to do no harm and protect our children from this health crisis.
All schools now employ industrial wireless networks, exposing students and staff to ubiquitous microwave radiation without any way to shield or avoid this mandatory exposure. Parents have never been informed of the health risks or given their written consent to expose their children to microwave radiation in our schools. School Districts have refused to educate students, parents and staff on how to avoid excessive RFR exposure when handling wireless devices during class time as outlined in user manuals, requirements mandated by law.
Vancouver Island School Boards have shifted the responsibility of potential lawsuits caused by this wireless technology to their School Medical Health Officer, Dr. Stanwick, who has endorsed the installation of a known 2B carcinogen in our schools and is unable to provide parents with any peer reviewed studies stating the safety of radiation exposure. Dr. Stanwick then shifted “the responsibility for professional oversight” to the Provincial Health Officer.
The BC Ministry of Education has stated they set educational standards, allocate funds and monitor student achievement but decisions regarding the planning and delivery of supports and services for all students are the responsibility of local boards of education and school district administrators. This includes decisions around exposure to RF frequencies and the use of WiFi in the classroom setting.
The Health Minister Philpott was also unable to provide parents with peer reviewed studies stating the safety of WiFi safety in our schools and has instead relied on Health Canada’s Safety Code 6 exposure “guidelines.”
But on February 20, 2013, James McNamee, scientist for Health Canada, admitted in the Superior Court of Quebec that the Safety Code 6 guideline for microwave radiation emitting from wireless technology is based ONLY on thermal effects, heating of the skin. This means Canada does not have any regulations in place to protect the public from long-term exposure to the biological effects of the “non-thermal” levels of microwave radiation.
http://www.magdahavas.com/health-canada-admits-safety-code-6-guideline-for-microwave- radiation-is-based-only-on-thermal-effects/
On page 3, inside the Safety Code 6 document it states, “These guidelines apply to all individuals working at, or visiting, federally regulated sites and may also be adopted by the provinces, industry or other interested parties.” Schools are not federally regulated sites and, therefore, SC 6 does not apply to WiFi in schools. The fact that the provinces may Adopt SC 6 means that the provinces are free to set their own guidelines.
http://www.radiationsafety.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Safety-Code-6.pdf
In a report by Dr. Martin Pall, he discusses Ken Foster and John Moulder, 2 industry affiliated scientists who, for years, have argued that there is no evidence of harm from exposure to microwave radiation. These 2 “bent” scientists have been on Health Canada panels and reviewed Safety Code 6, stating it is protective of non-thermal effects, when it applies to thermal effects only. On page 412 (8 of 12), he explains how they use poor science to help support WiFi in schools, cell phones, etc.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cxHocOxsX33OO3dsOfJVLHEj2BVl3Klw/view
Tim Singer from Health Canada responded to a letter concerning the radiation levels in our schools by stating, “Health Canada is aware of concerns related to Wi-Fi in schools, such decisions are not within Health Canada’s mandate. We recommend that you continue to consult your local school board or provincial authority to discuss your concerns.”
The finger pointing has now gone full circle and it is obvious that the Provincial Health Officer will be held accountable for willfully ignoring the overwhelming amount of scientific proof of harm.
Parents want to exercise their right to protect their children from harm and are calling on you to take immediate action to mitigate the risk and inform the School Boards throughout the province of the established health risks associated with long-term exposure to microwave radiation by recommending the use of hard-wired connections to access the Internet in our schools.
The burden of proof should not be put upon the public to prove that it’s unsafe, but upon the industry to prove it is safe.

Subject: Two major studies on microwave radiation
Dear Dr. Henry,
Within the last year, two remarkable studies pertaining to microwave radiation, one of which was rated as first class even by the American Cancer Society, have been completed and reports have been released.
1) The National Toxicology Project. A 10 year $25 million study which was devoted to studying cell phone radiation.
2) Ramazzini Institute’s study on Base Station / Cell Tower Radiation. It also was a 10 year project.
The studies took different approaches. The NTP dealt with higher levels of exposure emitted by cell phones held close to the body while the exposures used in the Ramazzini study were far lower – the same to which we are exposed in our everyday environment.
The results were identical: serious biological effects which included increases in brain tumors (especially glioblastomas) and in rare cancerous heart tumors (schwannomas).
https://ehtrust.org/wp-content/uploads/Ramazzini-Institute-Study_-Press-Q-and-A-2.pdf
A peer review of the NTP study was done in March, 2018 and concluded that there was “clear evidence” (the strongest classification) of cancer.
Dr. Henry, could you please tell me when I might receive your evaluation of these studies? I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.
