MURDER IS NOT “euthanasia”. This crap is murder.

He is currently suing Victoria Hospital, where he has been treated in that time, for encouraging him to seek MAID against his stated wishes.

I know the Hospital didn't make this decision...a person made this decision. Can we have this person's name and question him/her?

The people are frustrated. They do not see any hope for their country, and with trudeau they have no reason for hope. trudeau has beaten them into submission. They were mentally destroyed to the point that they reelected him last year like sheep resigned to their fate.

trudeau wants the old Whiteys to die. He will replace them with anybody but Whitey.

Same thing happening here, but not quite as obvious.

Humans are going to be “put down” like dogs. All part of the socialist democrazy the RATS are always talking about.

I predict that this will be the leading cause of death in a short time.

“You will own nothing, and you will be happy.”
But there will be a lot of people who won’t be happy. And they will have no options. Except this one.

Also: automation will increase, the need for human labor will decrease. The percentage of people sitting at home with nothing to do and nothing to contribute will increase. For many, it will not be a good existence. But they will have this one option.

The Left has been talking about “over-population” for a long, long time. They have a solution to that problem.

The right to die instantly becomes the duty to die.

Every where this is legalized, that is the pattern.

As long as it’s only innocent persons, and not serial killers or other murderers, liberals as fine with a death penalty.

Not the same context, but this story brought to mind that line from Jane Eyre...

"I must stay in good health and not die".

Yes. Also note the large number of job openings in the US and the large number of people sitting at home and not seeking those jobs. Mike Rowe has been talking about this. The job openings classically represent "opportunity". But so many people out there do not see any real opportunity. The American Dream is dead. You can't get anywhere. People have lost hope. They see the rate race and they see few winners, so they don't want to play the game.

How odd that a country that abolished the death sentence for criminals has no problem killing the unborn (abortion) or the slightly sick or inconvenient (euthanasia).

Is it something in the water or is it the weather?
Canucks ain’t right in the head.

On the silver lining side:

A Canadian man with a severe disability applied to a government euthanasia
programme when he feared he faced eviction from social housing, only to
reconsider once strangers online helped him raise over $60,000.

Agree. We’ve seen this play out in Holland and other countries already.

Anyone who truly wants to end it all can do so on his or her own, no assistance from doctors necessary. Sadly, it happens all the time. Why the need to institutionalize it and involve the medical establishment? I fear it’s for this very reason. Get rid of “useless eaters”.

This is the inevitable outcome from legalizing abortion.

Once an unborn child's life can be deemed "unworthy" due to economic convenience, the lives of elderly and chronically ill are forcibly taken for the same reasons.

Refuse to use any polite terminology when discussing this matter and call it what it is, immorally legalized homicide.
