CALGARY โ€” One elderly woman was convinced that her life was soon going to change forever, as the Canadian grandmother expressed excitement after hearing that her family was preparing to hire a MAID.

Betty Martin, an 80-year-old woman who lives with her son and his family, was delighted to overhear the family discussing their plan to pay for a MAID to come "take care of" some business at their home.

"This will change my life!" Martin said after hearing the news. "My goodness, I bet I'll never have to wash another sink full of dishes ever again. I was worried that I was becoming a burden on Stewart and the family, but then I heard them say something about paying for a MAID service, and it made me so happy."

Martin's son, Stewart, said the entire family was eager to see how much a difference paying for MAID could make in day-to-day life. "It'll be a game-changer, for sure, eh?" he said. "Just think about it, Mom. You won't ever have to spend another minute cooking or cleaning. Doesn't that sound nice?"

Betty explained that she was hopeful that the MAID would make a noticeable impact on all aspects of her life. "Will the MAID help put me to sleep?"

"Yes, absolutely!" her son answered.

At publishing time, the Martin family had explained to Grandma that they were just moving all the furniture out of her bedroom to make it easier for the MAID to get it really clean.

I think a VR thing from the movie “Have Fun, Good Luck, Don’t Die”

might soon be a better option, but you never know.

It reminds me of Goodfellas when Joe Pesci thinks he is being made. โ€œOh no!โ€

In Canada you can only get MAID if you qualify for government “health care”.

LOL! How much does the MAID cost? Canadians are taxed enough already. Another life-draining bureaucracy created by a government that doesnโ€™t have your best interests. Death, taxes and the elimination of citizens.

This is the Bee

MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying) is a legal procedure in Canada where a physician or nurse practitioner directly administers a lethal substance or prescribes a drug for a patient to self-administer to end their life

Talk about a dark sense of humor!

Leave it to the Bee to not miss an opportunity.

Hey, Mom, here’s this nice, stainless-steel bucket on the floor in front of you. When you’re ready for the MAID to do her thing, just kick it!

The Bee shouldn’t give the younger generation any ideas. They have enough bad ones already.
