1) A member who lives in a strata provided a contract presented by Telus ostensibly to install “free” fiber optic cable (see Letter below). I am not a lawyer but the contract appears to be extremely open to abuse. No definition or limit to “telecommunications equipment”. Of interest is the promise to not install any hazardous substance. Would this include EMR? Should we trust Telus with its offer of “free fiber optic cable”?

2) A media person speaks about cell phones, questioning the safety standards and speaking to Phonegate. Tucker Carlson, surprisingly. He is likely reaching an audience with brand new information.
How Toxic is Your Cell Phone?
“Occasionally, the media gets it right. Tucker Carlson on iPhone testing at 5x higher than legal radiation limits: “Twenty years from now, we’re going to look at that and laugh bitterly, like one of those Camel ads with smoking doctors.””
Letter:
I am attaching some info [https://stopsmartmetersbc.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Telus-PureFibre-network-Property-Owner-Information-Pamphlet-for-Multi-unit-Buildings.pdf] that Telus sent my strata and last night my strata voted to sign the attached agreement with Telus. The formal agreement is so open for ten years that it appears to me the third party/affiliates mentioned could be Huawei and the additional equipment in the future could be 5G boxes. As soon as the people in the strata heard they could get Telus PureFibre wired into the six buildings for free and that it would make their condos sell for more, they voted for it and it was even a 3/4 vote to pass. Two of us were concerned and asked questions of the sales reps in front of the group, and the woman answered differently than the contract says, but when I told the group they ignored me and my friend and voted for the contract.
I am attaching the contract and the marketing to you as I think this will be common in stratas in B.C. and Alberta. Telus did the testing with Huawei in Vancouver and sell Huawei phones but people don’t even seem to care about the spying and the holding of two Canadians connected to Mung, never mind the safety of 5G. They just want free something. I thought you would want to know about this.
