MAID? Once again leftists tag something horrific with a soft word no doubt to mislead.
Here come the mobile MAID teams going door to door to “hand out pamphlets” and will no doubt use Orwellian doublespeak.
As of March 17, 2021, persons who wish to receive MAID must satisfy the following eligibility criteria:
-be 18 years of age or older and have decision-making capacity
-be eligible for publicly funded health care services
-make a voluntary request that is not the result of external pressure
-give informed consent to receive MAID, meaning that the person has consented to receiving MAID after they have received all information needed to make this decision
have a serious and incurable illness, disease or disability (excluding a mental illness until March 17, 2023)
-be in an advanced state of irreversible decline in capability
-have enduring and intolerable physical or psychological suffering that cannot be alleviated under conditions the person considers acceptable
No proper journalist would use a term like MAID without the first time using it also spelling it out.
Lost me as a reader.
Oh well Made In Canada.
I should have just used MIC...
