Oh, how embarrassing. Earlier this week, Elizabeth May, the leader of Canada's Green Party, took to her Twitter account and declared war on wi-fi. To think I very nearly voted for these clowns in our recent election. Lesson for my American friends: just because you find all the major parties unpalatable doesn't mean that the fringe parties aren't even worse. Meanwhile, can someone please get an environmental movement going that isn't anti-science and anti-technology? Give her credit: she did manage, with rare ability, to hit not just one but all of the "idiot politician talking about science/technology" notes: 1. Moral panic: "It is very disturbing how quickly WiFi has moved into schools as it is children who are the most vulnerable." 2. Deluded citation of long-disproven theories: "It is one prevailing theory re disappearance of pollinating insects." 3. Misleading deception that comes this close to outright lying: "The World Health Org lists EMF as a possible human carcinogen."
