2) Regarding “smart” cities, specifically Nanaimo, another article speaks to the benefits and risks associated with this technology. Also, he provides a full explanation of the failure of the Toronto attempt. Hopefully, Nanaimo Council members and senior staff receive and read this article and consider the implications going “smart”.

HOW ‘SMART’ ARE SMART CITIES? The case of Sidewalk Labs, Toronto

“A key issue for planners and municipal officials is whether all the technology promoted by the tech companies and those enamoured of the smart city concept is needed to address everyday urban issues, such as housing, transportation, health care, and safety. If there are cost-effective applications, then certainly these should be investigated. However, as Fergusson (2020b) points out, there is a danger that the software or hardware could quickly become obsolete, leaving municipalities in the position of having to replace it all at considerable expense. Moreover, one must be very wary of giving tech companies anything like a free hand in urban development, as was proposed in Quayside where Sidewalk Labs would have had the right to put in place its own quasi-municipal rules and regulations. As it is planners’ responsibility to safeguard the public interest, it is essential that rigorous privacy protection frameworks (including legislation) be in place before the tech companies be given too much freedom.”

3) Children’s Health Defense is asking for names of doctors with whom they can communicate re. EMF. I would suggest it might be a good idea for you to get your doctor’s permission before providing his/her contact information.

Do You Know Doctors Who Are Aware of 5G/EMF Harms?

“For important and time-sensitive projects we need to learn of doctors (MDs and DOs) who are aware of 5G/wireless harms.

If your doctor is aware, or if you know of others who are, please send us an email with their contact information and share any advice you may have on how we can reach them efficiently. If possible, please also explain how you know they are aware of 5G/Wireless/EMF harms. If you are a doctor and a part of a medical group, please mention it in your email.”
