Liberal health-committee chair sponsors petition that says cell towers can pose danger to children

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.In the past week, at least four cell towers in Quebec - technicians seen here in Piedmont, Que on May 4, 2020 repairing a cell tower after a fire – have been set ablaze, incidents that follow dozens of acts of vandalism across Europe believed to be spurred by conspiracy theories.

Mr. McKinnon, MP for Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam in B.C.'s Lower Mainland, authorized petition E-2424 that asks for the government to set new restrictions on how close cellphone towers can be located to schools and playgrounds. The petition begins by citing a 2014 paper that discusses the risks that microwave radiation from wireless devices might cause cancer. The paper concludes the health “risk to children and adolescent from exposure to microwave radiating devices is considerable.

5G technology is the next generation of mobile technology, which will require far more small cell sites – smaller versions of cell towers – to provide a dense web of coverage to deliver faster downloads and almost no lag time. The McGill scientist said it’s dispiriting to learn of this petition, which was first reported by PressProgress, a left-leaning news site.

In a statement from his office, Mr. McKinnon said: “While I do not personally believe that cellphone towers pose a risk to human health, a number of my constituents have expressed interest in this petition and I wanted to ensure their views are heard.

Can't believe your actually running with this horseshit.

Not encouraging to see such a bad sense of scentific judgement from a Health Committe Chair. This issue has been floating for a long time propogated by the ill-educated. Only God knows why? RonMcKinnonLib

Oh my

Believe the science.Right? idiots.

The Liberal Party has become a far greater threat to my children.

Best get rid of everything in the hazardous aisle with kids sniffing that artificial scent inshopping carts. Maybe if cell phone rates were included with the kids free WiFi it would be a life saver.

Evidenced based decision making well the evidence shows that your leader is an idiot and should resign but that hasn’t happened so drop this.
