Disabled Canadian Army veteran Paralympian blasts government for offering to EUTHANIZE her when she complained about how long it was taking to install stairlift at her home

A disabled veteran in Canada has slammed her government for offering to euthanize her when she grew frustrated at delays in having a wheelchair lift installed in her home.

Retired Army Corporal Christine Gauthier, a former Paralympian, testified in Parliament on Thursday that a Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) caseworker made the assisted suicide offer.

After years of frustrating delays in getting the home lift, Gauthier says the caseworker told her: 'Madam, if you are really so desperate, we can give you medical assistance in dying now.'

The worker who made the offer hasn't been named, but they are feared to have offered three other veterans who contacted VAC with problems the same 'solution', Global News reported.

The scandal emerged a week after Canada's veterans affairs minister confirmed that at least four other veterans were similarly offered access to Canada's Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) law in response to their troubles, a situation Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called 'absolutely unacceptable'.

This is the beginning stages of “the Giver”. That is the whole point of Euthanasia anyways.

80% of healthcare costs come at the end of a person’s life. The elderly are a major voting block and source of wealth (property and money). What a better way to advocate for the welfare state by removing the costliest members of society to that welfare state and then redistributing their accumulated wealth to the voting demographic which agrees with murder and theft as part of the betterment of society.

“Honor your mother and father”.

Oh that slippery slope.

Her she is.....

Why didn't she just move into a single story home or accommodations with an elevator? In our country these stair-lifts can run about 5 grand. And why didn't she go to other organizations who might help. IMO she's looking for a payout.

I would suspect who gave that comment got tired of her complaining and I suspect her mouth wasn't exactly courteous.

When the government takes over healthcare, medicine becomes a finite resource, with bean counters analyzing health charts and applying cost/benefit analysis to every case.

Killing patients is much cheaper than treating them so “euthanasia” instantly becomes the preferred alternative.

Do not let Trudeau fiool yu. He is a son of Klaus Schwab. EUthanasia for the cripled and elderly are exactly part 9f Trudeau’s Great Socialist Reset. Do not believe the toss of his curly locks and his indrawn, baited breath drama statements.

THis us from a man who is quiety trying to disarm law abiding Canadian Citzens with a stab in the back piece of gun control legislation currently in its 3rd reading in Parliament.

JUstin Trudeau is a psychopomp. Most Canadians detest Trudeau, many sporting “ F*ck Trudeau” bumper stickers.

Canada has gone straight to the Devil. They have discarded morality and common sense in their election of the satanic spawn Trudeau. That one has led them down the path to Hell.
