Now, what incentive motivates doctors to aggressively push euthanasia on their patients?

Canadian Doctors Try to Railroad Catholic Priest into 'Assisted Suicide' Over Broken Hip | Frank Bergman, Slay News A Canadian Catholic priest is sounding the alarm after doctors tried to pressure him into “assisted suicide” twice while recovering from a broken hip in a hospital, despite him telling them that euthanasia goes against his beliefs. Father Larry Holland, a 79-year-old priest from the Archdiocese of Vancouver, was horrified that Canadian government-sanctioned doctors attempted to railroad him into being euthanized, despite not being terminally ill. The priest’s alarming story underscores growing concerns that Canada’s state-sanctioned assisted suicide program is spiraling far beyond its original limits. Holland said he was “very shocked” after medical pushed so-called “Medical Assistance in Dying” (MAiD) as an “option” during his recovery from a hip fracture. Priest Offered Death While Recovering, Not Dying Holland broke his hip after falling on Christmas Day. He is currently recovering at Vancouver General Hospital. Holland emphasized that he was not dying at the time and had not been given a terminal diagnosis. “There are some things you just don’t talk about to some people,” Holland said. “I think I was very shocked.” According to Holland, a doctor first introduced assisted suicide as an option if his recovery were to decline. Even after he made clear his moral opposition, the topic was pushed again weeks later, even though he was recovering. This time, a nurse described it as an act of “compassion,” despite the fact that Holland was perfectly healthy. Holland rejected that characterization outright, calling euthanasia “a false compassion, really.” He also noted the disturbing reality that staff were fully aware he was a Catholic priest when the option was raised. “Temptation” and the Reality of Pressure Holland acknowledged that even being offered euthanasia can create a moment of internal struggle. “I could feel the temptation,” he said. He called the feeling a “human reaction” since “We always look for the easy way out.” But he warned that resisting such pressure ultimately strengthens individuals, adding that suffering can lead to growth and deeper purpose. “It can motivate you, it can open up new worlds, new vistas, new opportunities,” he said. Nevertheless, it’s easy to see how more vulnerable people could be pressured into ending their lives with a state-backed lethal injection. Canada’s Expanding Euthanasia System Under Fire The incident comes as Canada’s euthanasia program has rapidly expanded under the Liberal government, first introduced under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Now under Prime Minister Mark Carney, the program is rapidly sliding down the slippery slope. Since legalization in 2016, assisted suicide has grown dramatically, with Canada now having one of the fastest-expanding euthanasia systems in the world. The program is set to expand even further in 2027 under Bill C-7, allowing euthanasia for individuals suffering solely from mental illness. Critics warn the system has already gone too far, with reports emerging of patients being offered assisted suicide in cases that appear to violate existing safeguards. Church Leaders Sound Alarm on “Coercive” System Father Larry Lynn, the Archdiocese of Vancouver’s pro-life chaplain, described Holland’s experience as deeply disturbing. “This must surely be among the most appalling examples of Canada’s coercive and insensitive euthanasia regime,” Lynn said. He warned that offering assisted suicide—especially to vulnerable patients—crosses a moral line. “It places the medical practitioner into the role of the devil, tempting a vulnerable person into mortal sin,” he said. Lynn also raised concerns about pro-euthanasia organizations attempting to normalize the practice even among religious communities, calling such efforts “diabolical.” Faith-Based Healthcare Under Threat The issue is now spilling into the courts, particularly in British Columbia, where Catholic healthcare providers are fighting to avoid being forced to offer euthanasia services. The outcome of that legal battle could determine whether faith-based institutions are compelled to participate in assisted suicide against their beliefs. Meanwhile, euthanasia has become one of the leading causes of death in Canada, ranking sixth overall, highlighting just how deeply embedded the practice has become. For critics, Holland’s experience is not an isolated incident, but a warning sign of a system that is increasingly prioritizing death over care. slaynews.com/canadian-docto…

Florida, how is this even possible? A shocking new poll just dropped showing Deep State conspirator Alexander Vindman within just three points of flipping Florida in our must-win Senate special election. Three points! That's within the margin of error. In other words, this race is effectively tied. Let that sink in. The man who abused his position at the highest levels of our government, who drove the Trump impeachment from inside the National Security Council, who wasted millions of taxpayer dollars trying to bring down a duly elected president — that man is now knocking on the door of the United States Senate. In Florida! In President Trump's home state! Vindman has made no secret of what drives him. He's not running out of some deep love of Florida — he just moved there after receiving his orders. This is a man vehemently opposed to everything we stand for, singularly obsessed with destroying the America First Agenda, and determined to make every Trump supporter pay the price. This is not ambition. This is cold, hard revenge – and now he has the money to make it real.

🚨 FBI HAD HINCKLEY DEAD TO RIGHTS — Secret Service Left a Deadly Hole in Reagan’s Protection Anyway: Roger Stone Drops the Questions They’ve Buried for 45 Years March 30, 1981. Washington Hilton. President Ronald Reagan walks 30 feet to his armored limo. No magnetometers. No bulletproof vest. Unscreened press rope line. Hinckley was standing 15 feet away while agents watched the wrong guy. This wasn’t bad luck. It was preventable. The FBI arrested John Hinckley Jr. in Nashville months earlier — three concealed handguns — the exact day Jimmy Carter was in town. They confiscated the guns, issued a fine, and never told the Secret Service. Hinckley never made the protective interest list. Zero intel sharing. Zero surveillance. The agents were absolute heroes once the shots rang out — Tim McCarthy taking a bullet, Jerry Parr shoving Reagan into the limo. But presidential protection isn’t supposed to be a last-second miracle. It’s supposed to stop the shooter before he fires. Roger Stone went nuclear on Rich Zeoli in 2016 and laid out the uncomfortable questions most historians skip: • Uncropped photos and eyewitness accounts of a possible second armed figure on the balcony. • Bullet trajectory that doesn’t match a crouching Hinckley firing upward — the round that hit Reagan came from behind and above. • The Bush-Hinckley family ties: John Hinckley Sr. donated to George H.W. Bush’s campaign. Scott Hinckley was scheduled to dine with Neil Bush the very next day. Coincidence? Or was there an intentional vulnerability in the security bubble that nearly handed the presidency to Bush? The official story says lone nut, ricochet off the limo, case closed. The evidence says: dig deeper. Below is the raw, unfiltered 1981 shooting footage (watch the chaos unfold in real time). Roger Stone on Rich Zeoli (the full 2016 breakdown that still haunts the official narrative): cbsnews.com/philadelphia/n… Institutions fail. Then they deflect. Then they bury the questions. America deserves the unredacted truth — not the sanitized myth. Post it. Share it. Demand the full record. #ReaganAssassinationAttempt #SecretServiceFail #HinckleyHilton #RogerStone #BushHinckley #SecondShooterQuestions #FBIvsSecretService #InstitutionalBetrayal #PresidentialProtection #DeepStateExposed #HistoryTheyDontTeach

Pop Quiz Time. If we vote, we win the presidency. We win the electoral and popular vote. We elect a supermajority. We win control of the House and the Senate. Yet we still can’t make any meaningful change in our country. What is that called?
