Pushing 48 hours with zero sleep. This absolutely sucks. I hope sleep finds me soon. I hate this feeling.

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…

@RockNRoLL_85 Oh Well

Name a better Fleetwood Mac song!

@beatnikdr1 @reagandunn Unfortunately he would get the same treatment Dave got from the bird brains and culpists. I have known Reagan for over 25 years and he is rational, competent and honest. These are traits many on the right think makes him a RINO.

@reagandunn Could you please run for Governor?? we need someone to save Washington

3 years ago, I wrote an op-ed (seattletimes.com/opinion/end-ki…) warning that the KCRHA was failing, and have continued to call for a complete withdrawal from it for years. The warning signs were clear, and it’s a shame they were ignored by so many. komonews.com/news/local/aud…

🚨🏌️✍️ #NOT GIVING UP — In an interview with @flushingitgolf, Bryson DeChambeau says he’s still in negotiations with LIV Golf: “We're still working on a potential contract. I haven’t given up on that and I think there will be a solution. But as of right now, my job is to help make the league work after this year. I just feel like I have a responsibility. I've put a lot of effort into it. So that’s what I’m going to do, we’re going to make this work.” When asked what happens if they can’t make it work, he doubled down: “As long as LIV is here, I would figure out a way for it to make sense.”

🚨 New York Times: Old People Suck and We Should Take Their Stuff It's time do away with these societal "grifters" and "stowaways," says an eminent Yale professor —MATT TAIBBI The New York Times on old people: It is not ageist to ask whether older people should be required to give more to younger Americans… Older Americans favor restrictions on immigration… there is a correlation between age and resistance to policies to halt the overheating of the planet… impose age ceilings on political offices… Older Americans own much of the most desirable real estate… It is not ageist, finally, to impose policies to transfer jobs, houses and wealth down the generational chain. Yale law professor Samuel Moyn, whom I interviewed once, always seemed generous and reasonable, even when our politics differed. But unless it’s an elaborate meta-joke, the above column and forthcoming book Gerontocracy in America: How the Old are Hoarding Wealth and Power in Americaadvance some of the most intellectually vicious ideas I’ve ever seen. The Godwin’s Law factor alone is a shocker. Moyn observes that people of years have accumulated money and influence and contrives to end the “tyranny of the old” by having “the elderly divested of political power, wealth, and property,” because reasons. The title of the Times piece, “Older Americans Are Hoarding America’s Potential,” carries the obscene lefty connotation that no one really owns anything and the elderly, by din of living too long to begin with, and having a generally shitty quality of life compared to the young, and voting incorrectly/selfishly (hilarious, in the context of open scheming to seize their savings) and wasting resources “playing for time” for “another day, month, or year among loved ones” makes them lousy stewards of what the author unironically calls “our inheritance,” i.e. their homes and bank accounts. racket.news/p/new-york-tim…

@CynicalPublius Aircraft carriers have large freezers. The longer you are deployed, the more likely the food is less palatable. No one is ever starving on deployment, but you aren’t eating Red Lobster. They are cooking for 5000+ people 3 meals a day plus midrats.

@PatrickC895106 @RockNRoLL_85 Your only problem here is this isn’t a controversial opinion

@RockNRoLL_85 Nirvana is overrated and the worst band of that scene.

Post your rock n roll controversial opinion!! 😬

@Foosfuz @bkheywood Yes and no. They almost always retire just before their next election so the governor can appoint their replacement who then runs as an incumbent

@bkheywood Aren't the supreme court justices in Washington state elected by the people?

This, to me is one of the most shameful aspects of SEIU sock puppet Bob Ferguson’s income tax. He knows it is unconstitutional. He knows the legal way to make a change would be the hard work of convincing voters and then running a constitutional amendment. He knows better but he is shamelessly ignoring his constitutional responsibility and hoping he can legislate through fiat using Inslee/Ferguson appointed supreme court justices…

@_BxtterCxp_ @RichardGrenell They want to whittle down the number of dems in the jungle primary so two Republicans aren’t the top two left. He was the easiest target to take out yet keep dem votes for what’s left

@RichardGrenell Wonder why the turned on him? Maybe he was too much of a liability.

Democrats have ignored Swalwell’s behavior for decades. They’ve covered for him. But today they are scrambling to look concerned. Frauds!

@Zombi3Pharaoh @PNWConservative In Washington State we don’t register by political party

@PNWConservative This guy's name was John C. Malcomwell, you can look it up. Registered Republican. Donated $200 to the McCain campaign in 2008.

This guy was armed and busted in n a child s*x sting. He was k*lled when he pulled his gun on police officers. Washington Democrats believe what he did- coming to meet an underage girl- is a “victimless crime”.

@seattletimes If you build it they will come. Give us your addicts, mentally ill and criminal indigents and we will house them, nurture them and suck our taxpaying citizens dry.

@hikerdoc1 @mattgilblezy @BrandiKruse I knew him personally when he was a KC councilman and he has a complete grasp of our state demographics. Pink hair, indoctrinated youth, homeless junkies all feed his base. Add a uniformly compliant media and the only thing that might stop him is a run for higher office

@mattgilblezy @BrandiKruse I really think he's evil and that he's making these decisions on purpose to create a socialist state. Accuse me of tinfoil hat thinking all you want, but I feel like he has an ulterior motive here.

I've never seen someone so smart do something so stupid. Washington state's decline is sealed.

@seattletimes How can this even be objectively studied if there is no defined difference between genders?
