Dear Editor:
First of all I wish to thank you for the (Dec. 18) front page exposure on the Rogers towers in West Vancouver. I was elated to see that people are actually waking up to the dangers of all the radiation exposure we are experiencing in our daily lives.
The truth is that the cellphone coverage is perfectly fine. And brain tumors are skyrocketing. I have never had problems and neither has anyone I know that lives on the North Shore, even all the way up to Lions Bay.
The question then is: Why do they insist on erecting more towers? And although it is refreshing to hear that council is aware and acting on behalf of the residents, what seems to be lost on the general public is that we have a system whose due process is a smoke screen, nothing more than a sounding board.
The Ministry has the final say. Contrary to the public's perception, the debate held at city council is just that - a hot air debate. It does not have a cause and effect; it is simply a place provided to vent.
Until the laws are changed to allow for a fair, due process, to provide power to the people - the taxpayers - we are simply being manipulated, and exposed to serious health risks.
