My rant is not directed at you, but Canada.

I am a little teed off they would not help in this situation.

At least with Terri Schiavo, Governor Bush (Florida) tried to help, as did people on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC.

I cannot say the same for Canada about the Baby Joseph situation.

No, they betrayed her. They ACTED like they wanted to save Terri, but in the end it was just for show.

Jeb Bush, as governor had full authority under the Florida Constitution to take custody of Terri. He was afraid of a confrontation and backed down.

Congress had full authority to send federal marshals to take custody of Terri in order to execute a perfectly legal subpoena. They refused to do this.

Governor Jeb Bush will forever be linked to Pontius Pilate. He had the means and authority to rescue Terri Schiavo. He said he was going to. Then he read the polls that falsely stated the voters were in favor of killing her, so he washed his hands of her. If he had known that in reality only about 8% of people were opposed to her right to live, he would have spared her life. Not because it was the right thing to do, but because it would help him politically. He guessed wrong. It cost Terri her life, and it cost him his career. It should have cost him more.
