Flashback: Fearless Arab psychiatrist Wafa Sultan, a woman who dared to tear Islam’s false image apart: “Islam is not a religion, it’s a totalitarian violent extremis ideology and the west should fight it the same way they fought the Nazis.” Do you support her right to criticize Islam? Yes or No?

• A 2025 academic paper in the Journal of Death and Dying models hypothetical government savings from expanding Canada’s MAiD program to vulnerable groups (e.g., elderly, mentally ill), estimating up to CAD $1.27 trillion by 2047 in a high-end “non-voluntary” scenario with reduced consent requirements. • The study itself emphasizes major ethical problems with using euthanasia for cost control and is not a government policy or plan—it’s speculative economic analysis. • Canada’s voluntary MAiD is legal and rising (nearly 5% of deaths in 2023), but non-voluntary euthanasia is illegal; the post accurately flags the paper’s numbers and concerns while using a provocative headline and image.

“Sudden And Unexpected”
“Canada Modelling Non-Voluntary Euthanasia to Save Trillions?” 🇨🇦 A new academic study is calculating how much money the government could save by dramatically expanding euthanasia .. including “non-voluntary” scenarios for vulnerable people. They’re literally running the numbers on ending lives without consent as a budget solution. That’s not dystopian fiction… that’s a real paper being discussed right now. The study projects potential savings of up to $1.27 trillion by 2047. Full paper here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00… The authors themselves raise serious ethical concerns about turning assisted dying into a cost-saving tool for the state. What do you think? When did we start treating human lives like line items on a spreadsheet?

Atefeh Sahaaleh, a 16-year-old Iranian girl, was publicly hanged by the Islamic regime for reporting her rape. According to sharia, rape is considered "sexual relations outside of marriage," a capital offense. The devil is always on the prowl. Islam is not a religion of peace. Islam is a diabolically evil political system. They want Sharia Law and world dominance. Bow to Allah, pay the tax or die. That is conquest and not peace. Wake up! - @ceepee07

Grace Tame was crying about being unemployable after her disgusting outburst on the steps of Town Hall. Guess who come to her rescue and gave her a gig? None other than the Taxpayer funded ABC That's right. The ABC is platforming a radical Jew hater.

Adapt. That doesn’t mean having to take on a different religion. It just means that if a country loves dogs, choose a place to worship where there are no dogs. Having said that, I’d be offended if someone brought their yapping dog into our church buildings to annoy and distract me from my worship. I would soon find a place where dogs aren’t permitted.

🚨A barking dog to some people is just background noise. To others, especially during prayer or moments of worship, it can feel disrespectful or disruptive. That raises a broader question: Should society make more accommodations for religious practices, or should religious practices adapt to the realities of public life? 🤔 Where do you stand on the balance between religious freedom and everyday public life?

Elon Musk's children don't go to normal school. And the reason why will change how you think about education. He pulled his kids out of one of the most prestigious schools in Los Angeles. Parents were furious. Media called him arrogant. The school had a waitlist of thousands. His response: "They're teaching kids to solve problems that already have answers. I need them to solve problems nobody's thought of yet." So he built a school. Inside SpaceX. Called it Ad Astra. No grades. No tests. No subjects in the traditional sense. A nine year old could take apart a rocket engine and present their findings to actual SpaceX engineers. Students didn't study history. They debated whether they'd make different decisions than historical leaders using the same information available at the time. The school had no grade levels. A seven year old could work alongside a thirteen year old if they were interested in the same problem. When asked why he structured it this way, Elon said something that stuck with me: "I don't care if they know the answer. I care if they know which questions are worth asking." Most people spend their entire education learning how to be right. Elon teaches his children how to be curious. The system rewards answers. Life rewards questions.

This was about 3 years ago. This little girl just wanted to share her cookies and this is how these monsters were taught to treat her. Do you think things are getting better or worse?

🚨OH. MY. GOSH!!! It has been revealed that the woman who was st*bbed 18-20 TIMES on the Atlanta train, 66-yr-old Margaret Swan... ...DID NOT RECEIVE ANY HELP AT ALL FROM FELLOW TRAIN PASSENGERS WHILE SHE BLED OUT ON THE FLOOR OF THE TRAIN “She was screaming for help and nobody was helping her...” Margaret was a mother of 3, grandmother of 5 and great-grandmother of 4. According to CCTV footage reviewed by police, John Elijah Matthews, a homeless Black man, walked up to the Margaret and slit her throat within seconds. Margaret screamed and tried to escape, but the suspect held her down and st*bbed her another 18 times before leaving her dead on the ground in a large pool of her own blood. Fellow passengers on the train did nothing to try and help her as she screamed. Absolutely horrifying.

My friend’s house caught fire in the early hours, this morning. Everyone was asleep. Her and her 11yo managed to jump out the windows and survive. Her husband went back into the inferno to save their 3yo little boy. He didn’t make it. Their youngest son died. My friend’s husband has 80% burns to his body and he’s in a coma in hospital tonight. Its touch and go whether he will make it through the night. Their two, much loved dogs, also perished in the fire. The cause - the battery of an electric scooter caught fire. May I ask - that those inclined - please say a prayer for this beautiful, young family tonight. This sort of loss is inconsolable 🙏 His name was Jordan and he was a superhero.

@WicksVal @kylieeeeeee @Liberty78600402 @news_australian Imagine thinking everyone else’s life should be as hard as your parents’ lives… Your mum could’ve afforded shoes with the welfare Australia provides, and your family would’ve been less vulnerable. I can never understand those who’ve battled poverty voting for Pauline Hanson.

@WicksVal @Veeteejay1 @Liberty78600402 @news_australian This likely never happened. Not being able to afford a single pair of shoes, (very cheap or even free through charity shops) is a very, VERY dire financial situation. Although lacking proper nutrition during the brain development years could explain why you think the way you do.

@Liberty78600402 @Veeteejay1 @news_australian Perhaps because she spends the rest of the time mixing with the people to hear their concerns. I understand that is actually a Senator’s job, collecting info, not sitting in an office dreaming up schemes without any knowledge of how they work.
