Friday On Turtle Island

The Democrat Party’s America:    A leftist pedophile hero.    Our plastic moment.    Ramadan in America.

Conman Carney’s Canada:    Pride Season.    Hereditary chief is upset.    Carney the liar.

Stories You Won’t Find At Carney’s CBC:    Paul Joseph Watson – Piers Morgan and this is so weird.    Islamic domination.    American learns to speak English.    A prayer divide.    Heartwarming musical

And at the Bee.

The Doctor Will Kill You Now

I’m old enough to remember when it was called “killing” – and so is Danielle Smith;

Doctor-assisted death, often called MAID, Medical Assistance in Dying, will be prohibited for those under 18, persons whose only underlying medical condition is a mental illness and individuals without the capacity to make their own health-care decisions. So-called advance requests, pre-approvals for assisted dying before a person loses the capacity to provide informed consent, will also be prohibited.

MAID will also be prohibited where a natural death is not “reasonably foreseeable.” Those where natural death is determined by a doctor or nurse practitioner to be “reasonably foreseeable” will be eligible for MAID. “Reasonably foreseeable” means when their natural death is likely to happen within 12 months.

A couple more points.

Doctors and nurse practitioners in Alberta WILL NOT be able to refer people to get assessments outside Alberta on whether they are eligible for MAID. Doctors and nurse practitioners who have moral or religious objections to MAID will have the right to refuse to assess a person for an assisted death or provide one.

Exploding Our Debt

I would suggest a headline change to “Carney buys votes in Quebec and Ontario“. That aside, wouldn’t it be cheaper to just buy 155 mm artillery shells from places that already make such a commonly available munition? It’s also worth asking if this is a case of governments getting ready to fight the last war.

Ottawa will pump more than $1 billion in public funds into new facilities in Ingersoll, Ont., and Repentigny, Que., for heavy munitions used in artillery.

This Is CNN

Nobody believed them anyway.

CNN had repeatedly insisted that senior international correspondent Fred Pleitgen and the network maintained “full editorial control” about what they reported when the former was in inside Iran. But, in an interview with the U.K.-based newspaper The Guardian, which was less of an interview and more just answering prompts, Pleitgen asserted that he and his cameraman didn’t have a “minder” lurking over them. Yet, when he described who guided him around and what he was allowed to see, it very much sounded like a minder.
