Canadian College Curbs Wi-Fi Due to Health Risks

"The jury is still out on the impact that electromagnetic forces have on human physiology," Gilbert told a university meeting last month, insisting that university policy would not change while he remained president.

"Some studies have indicated that there are links to carcinogenetic occurrences in animals, including humans, that are related to energy fields associated with wireless hotspots, whether those hotspots are transmissions lines, whether they're outlets, plasma screens, or microwave...

i guess you never know, all of our functions are electrical signals communicating with our brain so who knows?

You do realize how absurd it is to start banning things with this line of (il)logic, don't you?

Silly Canadians! 😛

Does he block out CHUM-FM and all of the other TV, radio, cell phone electromagnetic signals too?

Exactly. Which is why we should ban thinking, since it causes dangerous electromagnetic fields which could lead to brain damage.

So, are they getting rid of all the other "hotspots" he mentions, like

transmissions lines, whether they're outlets, plasma screens, or microwave...

Seems kind of hypocritical to single out Wi-Fi.

yeah, im not saying ban them, i'd just be interested to see what kind of effect this has on humanity over the course of a couple of centuries.

LOL that's so ridiculous... but Lakehead is a small school (although it's supposedly located in a very nice area)
