Canada’s Green Party leader, Elizabeth May, is a green advocate, activist and bi-coastal self-promoter.
But she’s no scientist.
As Green Party leader and the Green’s first (and only) MP, her adherence to the cult of global warming is no surprise, but her opposition to Wi-Fi is:
…the first Green party MP threw her support behind her provincial counterparts’ efforts to stop the smart meter program and allow for more consultation on the kinds of meters that should be used. On Twitter, she voiced opposition to the unnecessary use of Wi-Fi, saying she was “so glad I don’t have Wi-Fi at home.” A subsequent tweet revealed a much stronger opinion about Wi-Fi as it pertains to the health of students: “It is very disturbing how quickly Wi-Fi has moved into schools as it is children who are the most vulnerable,”…
Wi-Fi as a health hazard is some of the junkiest of junk science, yet May has no problem jumping on the bandwagon and using ‘vulnerable ‘children as human shields to cover her knee-jerk activism.
The World Health Organization has this to say about Wi-Fi:
From all evidence accumulated so far, no adverse short- or long-term health effects have been shown to occur from the RF signals produced by base stations. Since wireless networks produce generally lower RF signals than base stations, no adverse health effects are expected from exposure to them.
The good news it that May’s support of nonsense science exposes her as a flake, willing to believe that any and all technology is bad for humans and Gaia alike. If it’s technology - it’s bad for you, or for Gaia. Or, even worse, for you and Gaia and the children. This person also claims to know what the climate is doing. The prosecution rests.

Personally I love how people get frightened by relatively weak transmitting devices like wireless networks, yet are quite happy to get on a plane and fly somewhere to sit in the sun and get belted by radiation from the sun. Radiation that has been linked with all types of cancers, radiation that will burn your skin in 15 minutes. Radiation that can blind you, burn you and turn your skin into leather. But let’s ignore the sun in the sky and worry about a little bit of wifi signal.

Keep in mind that she doesn’t use a monitor, as the radiation from same would damage her. Her computer setup is likely down in the basement, with the keyboard in the tv-free living room (furniture in said room being hand-made from 100% certified organic plant materials.)
How she learned to use Twitter I have NO idea…

I find that if you pour coffee on the bunny ears of doom it very quickly stops being a threat.
Thanks for the handy tip crownarourer. Does fair trade coffee work best, or will any brand do the job?
