Sisters Alicia and Christie Duncan were originally only granted 48 hours notice that their mother was going to be euthanised.
It was Sunday, October 24, 2021, when 61-year-old Donna confessed to her family that she had been approved for Canada’s assisted-dying programme, officially known as Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD).
Her death was scheduled for the following Tuesday - expedited due to her having qualified for Canada's streamlined 'Track 1' pathway, reserved for individuals whose natural death is reasonably foreseeable.
But Donna was not terminally ill, according to her daughters, who insist she was in the midst of a spiralling mental health crisis, triggered by a car accident and exacerbated by the isolation of the Covid-19 lockdown.
The retired psychiatric nurse was exhibiting peculiar behaviour: she was too paranoid to leave her own house, in case she was shot by a sniper, and was paying $6,000 to a 'medical' psychic, who was informing her about the heavy metals apparently lurking in her food.
Hellbent on preventing their mother's death, Alicia and Christie delayed the appointment by calling the police, and persuaded a judge to grant them a last-minute arrest warrant under the Mental Health Act, which would see Donna transferred to a psychiatric ward.
But once the cogs were set in motion, MAiD seemed inevitable: Donna was discharged from the ward without her daughters' knowledge, and died via lethal injection on the Friday.
The sisters didn't have time to say goodbye, and the next time they saw their mother was in the crematorium.
According to government guidelines, a patient must be sound of mind and have a 'grievous and irremediable medical condition' to be eligible for MAiD in Canada.
For Alicia and Christie, there is no question that their mother lacked the mental capacity to access MAiD, but the system

It’s cheaper that way.
Mao zedong Canadia edition.
While this article is about Canada, don’t kid yourself: Euthanasia is “legal” in America if you’re not careful, and with the tacit approval (if not support) of the medical-industrial complex.
A good friend's father was hospitalized a few years ago with a heart attack and hooked up to machines. The attending doctor didn't think the old man would make it.
My friend, respecting Dad's wishes to not be on machines, signed a paper approving the de-machining and putting the Dad on "comfort care" which (IN GENERAL) is basically no curative care.
That was ok - that was the Dad's wishes.
The old man pulled through, but the hospital refused to put Dad back on fluids or nutrition because - you guessed it - "comfort care" IN THAT HOSPITAL and for THAT DOCTOR is effectively Terri Schaivo-style starvation and dehydration.
They said - and if you follow the link you’ll see concurrence from other ghouls - food and water was a medical treatment and thus "curative" and AGAINST the rules of "comfort care."
My friend was stunned. And the attending and her team wouldn't budge - ”you signed the document giving consent.”
For the next few days, my friend and siblings heard from scores of nurses etc that withholding fluids was effectively "the right thing to do"....very Terri Schaivo-like. They also threw in “Dad live a good long life” and “he will never come back the way he was.”
It took a virtual miracle whereby a different doctor intervened, said the father clearly wasn't terminal, and put the old man back on nutrition and fluids.
While my friend's Dad passed away peacefully in his sleep a few weeks later, it was on the Dad’s terms.
It’s also worth noting that the siblings were split on “comfort care.” There WAS a view that it was ok for Dad to dehydrate to death. Someone even said that dehydration is painless; I heard the total opposite during the Schaivo murder.
Euthanasia is, technically, illegal. And I know many people would be OK if fluids were withheld when it is THEIR time to go. Fair enough.
But euthanasia can be made legal - in America - if you're not careful with the Fine Print or vetting the "mercy killing" mindset of the attending.
And it’s free, eh?
It’s sad to think of what Canada has become.
It’s sadder yet to think that we’re not that far behind them.
I guess that the Demo-rats are our version of Muslims, lying, untrustworthy, laughable theology, and love of death.
Thank you and by all means please post it every time!!!
“...she had been approved for Canada’s assisted-dying programme...”
Does anybody ever get turned down?.................
When I first hear this, I was stunned. Then I read the article to which I linked, and I saw the absolute evil posing as compassion in these dark souls.
Artificial nutrition and hydration is a medical treatment, with intended beneficial effects but many side effects and complications attached to its use. Decisions about its use need to be based on a dispassionate look at what, if any, benefits will occur, what side effects and burdens are likely to occur, and what the individuals' and families' goals are for the treatment.
When artificial nutrition and hydration is more likely to be burdensome than helpful, it should be avoided or discontinued. Nurturing can be expressed in more helpful ways, such as gentle presence, touch, talking with the person (regardless of his/her ability to respond), keeping the person's lips and mouth moist, gently massaging the skin using lubricants, praying with the person, or playing favorite music selections. These alternative ways of nurturing can be very powerful and moving for both the person with the life-threatening illness and his/her loved one.
How odd? The one government program that delivers rapid results? There’s longer waits to see the counter at the DMV.
My FIL was in his 70s, contracted some mysterious illness and slipped into a coma. He had been in good health but had suffered from decades of debilitating rheumatoid arthritis (horrible disease). We watched the doctors do heroic things and they added one machine after another to keep him alive. He was on dialysis, a ventilator, and (I think) some heart machine). After a week of this, the docs told my wife “there’s nothing we can do. He’s not coming back. We need your permission to turn off the life support machines.” My wife consented...but he came back to life! He quickly got well, was discharged from the hospital, and lived another five years. He died peacefully on vacation in Hawaii.
It wasn’t a case of euthanasia, but shows the importance of having a “living will” so your wishes about your treatment in similar circumstances are known by your loved ones and the person who will have power over your health care and medical decisions if you are incapacitated.
**“...she had been approved for Canada’s assisted-dying programme...” Does anybody ever get turned down?**
Very good.
80% of Canadians live within 100 miles of the US border-know what I’m thinking?
No mention of which part of Canada she lived. We could string a series of sanctuaries in border towns where they could escape. Think of the border as the Berlin Wall. The poor woman was curable I think. Even if she wasn’t government doesn’t pull the trigger so bring them here. Take care of them and embarrass our northern neighbor. How to pay for it? I’m way ahead of ya. One word: tariffs.
"Be careful with these two prescriptions. If you take more than one you may stop breathing. If you take more than two, you will stop breathing."
After long enough on her terms, she said goodbye on her Tandy Word Processor (before laptops), and went to sleep. Two hours later, she stopped breathing.
The state has no business in end of life discussions or acting on that.
Euthanasia, like abortion and similar procedures, are slippery slopes.
The proponents always list some horrendous scenarios why people should be given and “option” to do it.
Then, when the law approves, the slippery slope engages.
Abortion is no longer rare, and people are being put to sleep under the flimsies justifications.
**”Be careful with these two prescriptions. If you take more than one you may stop breathing. If you take more than two, you will stop breathing.”**
We all know what the doctor was saying.
**When the law approves, the slippery slope engages.**
Abortion yes. The law says it’s between the doctor and patient-ass is covered.
Ze are too old. Off no use to anyone. Giff zem ein injection, nicht whar? Ein einspritz.
She had substandard medical care.
Paranoid symptoms can start or get worse during menopause due to hormonal shifts that affect brain neurotransmitters, sometimes leading to delusional thinking or severe paranoia alongside sleep loss and hot flashes.
So they put her to death instead of giving her the medication she needed?
What bullshit…..
Canada is going Soylent Puke Green.
This has been going on in Europe for years, now Canada has been following the EU just like Carney wants. They all write the laws to make it look like ‘guardrails” are in place, but in practice they actively recruit candidates and do what they want.
