Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying now accounts for 1 in 20 deaths in Canada. It took 90 years, but Tommy Douglas final got his way. (Please down load the PDF and save it; it’s sure to disappear)
SDA regular Gord Magill discusses The Machine in Life and Death, a deep dive into Canada’s euthanasia law and how it is being promoted.
Don’t go giving them ideas.
Telegraph- Global deaths from assisted dying surpass 30,000 in a year
The increase was recorded across countries where assisted dying and euthanasia is legal, including the Netherlands, Belgium, and the US states of California and Oregon. In Canada, an estimated one in 25 people who died last year were legally killed.

These issues are significant. They stem from incomplete documentation of MAID requests to broken safeguards and potentially even non-consensual euthanasia. A quarter of all Ontario euthanasia providers received at least one compliance issue in 2023, though not a single provider was reported to the police, not even the provider who administered a death that the chief coroner described as “a blatant situation” where “the family and the deceased person suffered tremendously.”
On Oct. 27, a British Columbia judge intervened to prevent Dr. Ellen Wiebe, or any other doctor, from causing the death of a mentally ill Alberta woman. Justice Simon Coval granted a 30-day injunction to the woman’s common-law partner, one day before her death was scheduled to take place at Wiebe’s Vancouver clinic. A civil claim alleges Wiebe approved the woman’s request for MAID after a single Zoom meeting and without consulting her doctors. Wiebe declined to comment when contacted by National Post.
National Post- Ontario man granted euthanasia for controversial ‘post COVID-19 vaccination syndrome’
Identified as “Mr. A,” the man experienced “suffering and functional decline” following three vaccinations for SARS-CoV-2. He also suffered from depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and personality disorders, and, “while navigating his physical symptoms,” was twice admitted to hospital, once involuntarily, with thoughts of suicide.

patients have reported feeling ‘badgered and harassed’ to consider MAID
National Post- Assisted suicide lawsuit uses Charter challenge to go after Charter right to MAID
The lawsuit, filed by a coalition of disability activists — and two people with disabilities themselves — argues that allowing people with disabilities to die violates the Charter protections available to all other Canadians and may induce them to end their lives prematurely, based solely upon their disability.
Sheila Gunn Reid looks at documents exclusively obtained by Rebel News showing how Veterans Affairs Canada attempted to hide a paper trail of evidence relating to caseworkers suggesting ailing veterans choose to access the Medical Assistance in Dying program.
Veterans Affairs Canada began using verbal updates to communications managers and bureaucrats to prevent leaving a paper trail amongst those handling the fallout of the scandal of department case workers who offered suffering and desperate veterans euthanasia instead of treatment.
And I have the documents to prove it.
Published this month in the Journal of the Blindlingly Obvious;
Canada’s assisted dying regime could provide a cover for medical staff with “serially homicidal personalities,” according to a controversial paper critics say provides no evidence patients could be preyed upon by criminal medical murderers.
“Canada’s MAID (medical assistance in dying) system is criticized as the most permissive or least safeguarded in the world, raising the question of whether it could protect patients who fit the clinical profile of adult victims of HSK (health-care serial killers) from a killer working as a MAID provider,” Christopher Lyon, a Canadian social scientist who teaches at the University of York in the United Kingdom, wrote in a newly published paper.
If you’re wondering why BC is suddenly trying to get bottomless fentanyl at every corner store while euthanizing chronic cases. You expected a different outcome from putting people like this in charge of the health system?

Calgary Herald- Long waits for cancer treatment worsens illness, endangers lives, infuriates patients
A heartbreaking video is circulating on social media from a young Edmonton woman whose husband was diagnosed with gastric cancer on May 2, but two months later has no appointment to see an oncologist.
She says he’s developed severe related problems and has been in hospital. Gastric bleeding. Stomach perforation. A collapsed lung.
I’m not sure how much value there is in a Master’s degree in psychedelics and consciousness, but maybe it’s a step above a degree in unconsciousness. When socialized medicine won’t treat you, is it really that much of a bonus when the doctor can offer LSD to go along with MAID?
The program, which opens next September, will be housed in the university’s psychology department, but run in partnership with the department of classics and religious studies. Students will be able to take a broad range of courses from neuroscience to comparative mysticism.
Williams is also anticipating that those who are interested in spiritual uses will also be drawn to the program, such as practitioners who are interested in offering psychedelics for end-of-life distress and those who want to use them for traditional or Indigenous spiritual practices.

This is the natural end stage of socialized medicine. It’s a feature not a bug.
Is there not a single civil rights organization or a single politician in all of Canada that can help Roger Foley?
We are still at the “voluntary” stage, but it’s a very short drive from there to mandatory.
Josef Mengele was a man ahead of his time: Preventing a Calgary woman’s medically assisted death would cause her irreparable harm, a judge ruled Monday in ordering an injunction stopping her from ending her life be lifted.
Within two weeks of his (wrong) diagnosis, he was contacted by a therapist about MAID.
If “MAID” was not a Liberal population cull, what exactly would they be doing differently?
