A disabled veteran in Canada has slammed her government for offering to euthanize her when she grew frustrated at delays in having a wheelchair lift installed in her home.
Retired Army Corporal Christine Gauthier, a former Paralympian, testified in Parliament on Thursday that a Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) caseworker made the assisted suicide offer.
After years of frustrating delays in getting the home lift, Gauthier says the caseworker told her: 'Madam, if you are really so desperate, we can give you medical assistance in dying now.'
The worker who made the offer hasn't been named, but they are feared to have offered three other veterans who contacted VAC with problems the same 'solution', Global News reported.
The scandal emerged a week after Canada's veterans affairs minister confirmed that at least four other veterans were similarly offered access to Canada's Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) law in response to their troubles, a situation Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called 'absolutely unacceptable'.

Canadian politics is satanic.
Yes it is.
Secular politics is satanic. Fixed it for you.
At least they’re being polite about it... for now.
We can not be friendly to leftists who demand government murder us one by one.
Has their suicide hotline become a how-to help center?
Instead of later, when they finally get tired of paying for your health care, except for that last medication that just helps you to sleep...permamently. They'll happily spring for that one.
The ‘MAID’ moniker is a Nice touch.

Just add French and you’d
Have a Winner.

Historically referred to as “the final solution”.
state-run, socialized medicine is there to help with all the things they deem you need.
Will we ever find out whether this ghoul called a “caseworker” has been fired? I doubt it. The Culture of Death has overtaken Canada. It’s overtaking us here, too, but has not gone quite as far. Let us pray hard. And work hard against it, too.
“Would you like to receive email notifications? During December we have an ‘Add-a-Friend’ special.”
Sounds like Death Panels to me. Are they still mocking Sarah Palin for that?
F Canada.
Spot on.
"Caseworker, we can give you military assistance in dying now." would be the proper retort.
Damn, Justin Fidel is as evil as his father...and cheating mother.
Sounds like the “Babylon Bee”...
About 15 years ago, when I (an American) was working for a Canadian energy company based in Calgary, I was listening to two co-workers talk about their herniated disks. The Canadian had been told it would be nine months or so before he could get corrective surgery. The Canadian was describing how he was having his desk redesigned to be ergonomic and setup to allow him to stand and sit as needed.
The American was describing how he was scheduled for surgery next week.
