Leftist policies start out seemingly reasonable and compassionate before they become totally monstrous. Initially, there are sympathetic test cases, they started out with arguing that raped 12-year-olds should be able to get an abortion, and then before you know, it’s partial-birth abortion for bored celebrities. Euthanasia was supposed to help those with fatal illnesses suffering a great deal of pain. And then, in typical fashion, it morphed into killing teenagers and the depressed.

Where to in the Great North? How about killing the homeless and the poor?

Half of Canadians would agree to allow adults in Canada to seek medical assistance in dying due to an inability to receive medical treatment (51%) or a disability (50%). Fewer than three-in-ten would consent to expand the guidelines to include homelessness (28%) or poverty (27%) as reasons to seek medical assistance in dying.

Canadians are split when pondering if mental illness should be a justification for an adult to seek medical assistance in dying: 43% support this idea, while 45% are opposed.

That’s 1 in 4 on board with euthanasia for the poor and the homeless. Among the 18-34 crowd, it’s 40%.

And that means that this is the next bar. The conservatives will die off or be killed, leaving an exciting new electorate...

In America, “the poors” are the ones with the cheap AR-15s and Hi-Points.

That’s what I was thinking. Let’s see the actual questions of the so-called survey. The article may be on point but the “surveyors” are seemingly trying to normalize the eugenics.

Well, in the photo that you show you can see that the cyclists are only taking one lane of traffic and the vehicles can freely pass them in the left lane. So I wouldn’t exactly say they were “hogging the road”. Now if they were occupying BOTH lanes, I might agree with your assessment...

Good thing they didn’t take my family out back when we were poor. It was a hole we worked hard to climb out of, and did, thank the Lord.

Most Libs are actually Satanist Nazis now. And should be regarded as such.

First play in the progressive playbook - incrementalism. Just get things loaded onto the slippery slope & watch them go.

It’s within reason to assume the western blue states are contemplating how this could be used to limit the homeless population. Trial balloons.

How about a national form to fill out. The government will then know which people support euthanasia for the poor. Then the poor can be paid to euthanize those people.

I think that this may answer an important theological question: What happens to a nation that loses its faith?

Great disasters come to mind. But what about disasters within disasters? Best described as disasters without caring? A city destroyed, but only the healthy, wealthy and fit escape, leaving the sick, the poor, the elderly and young children to their own devices. And no one else lifting a hand to help.

Or perhaps, without virtue, the seven deadly sins come to the fore, heralding vice, decay and destruction.
