@JanetCa03023777 @gator_gum Same. Those of us that have witnessed it can attest to its importance. People that have no experience with it need to stfu.

I'd like to ask those people that have been recently posting "horror stories" of MAiD situations and other related political statements if they would like to see it absolutely and entirely removed. Meaning, that they genuinely feel the best solution is that nobody, under any circumstances should be allowed to decided to end their own life, with no exceptions... This is an honest and genuine question. I'm curious as this seems to be coming up a lot lately.

@JanetCa03023777 @gator_gum And yet you ignore those with first hand experience that have faced coercion and feel pressured. Experienced by many in the disability community. Once money becomes involved (cheaper to end a life than provide supports) it becomes risky.

@gator_gum How about just asking the people who have actually been through it with a loved one? I'm sick and fucking tired of the shit that's being spewed and where are the receipts? How many of these clowns have first-hand knowledge, rather than the Anti-MAID echo chamber!

@gator_gum I think most people would agree with it under strict conditions, for those truly suffering, terminal, with safeguards that would prevent coercion. Problem is that once that was in place expanding it to others was predictable.

@mikethenavyguy You obviously haven't heard about, or are ignoring the fact that Track 2 MAID exists. It allows for people w/disabilities who are not dying at all. They struggle with poverty/lack of support/services and are often offered MAID as a solution.

I'm not sure what you're pushing here. Do you think there are people being killed and not consenting? The only way this can happen is if a painful death is imminent. Would you rather go back to families spending tens of thousands of dollars to go to Europe for this?

@merry123459 If only that were true there wouldn’t be such pushback. They expanded it for people with disabilities who aren’t dying. Want to extend it to people with mental health issues and also extend to mature minors. Not many would object to those you describe

MAID is reserved for terminally ill patients who face certain death. Painful, agonizing death without dignity. If the patient chooses, with approval from physicians they can arrange their own time of death so they don’t have to suffer to the end. This guy is a lying sack of 💩.

There have been more people killed by the Canadian government assisted su1cide program this year than the totality of every American mass shooting in America's history (It's only February)

@marlene4719 You are ignoring Track 2. It allows for people with disabilities to choose MAID despite not being anywhere close to death. Suffering due to poverty, lack of supports or services is enough.

For all the dumbass maga in the back: MAID is a voluntary, regulated medical procedure with very strict eligibility rules. It applies to those over 18 and who are mentally competent. It’s an option when you have a grievous and incurable medical condition that is causing intolerable suffering and pain.

@mapleblooded The loans are being guaranteed by seized Russian assets not by your family.

Don’t tell me that my family has to guarantee loans to Ukraine while Ukrainian families are at ski resorts. A lift pass in Canada is $250+ per person if you can even afford that after your mortgage, bills, and groceries. I am so sick of the grift.

In a covertly recorded conversation, the CDC's Dr. William Thompson openly admits that the CDC lied and covered up the fact that the MMR vaccine was associated with autism. "Thimerosal causes autism-like features... I'm completely ashamed of what I did. The higher-ups wanted to do certain things and I went along with it." "I cannot believe we did what we did. But we did." Credit: @ChildrensHD

@brianlilley EV cars in brutally cold Canadian winters is a horrible idea. I can't believe politicians are seriously considering an EV mandate.

@RositaStellar @retail_recruit They didn’t have a mental illness, she said mental disability which is different. Also said he didn’t understand what was happening. Doesn’t qualify under the rules you quoted.

@retail_recruit No, Canada has not approved Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) for individuals whose sole underlying condition is a mental illness

This dangerous liar needs to be sanctioned. Criteria for MAID are very strict and NO NURSE can administer. What garbage. Reported.

A family member of mine is a nurse in Canada. They performed several assisted dying procedures at the care home they worked at, before refusing to continue. In one case, the family of a mentally disabled man decided they wanted him to be euthanised. He didn’t want to die. But my family member was legally forced to end his life. They held his hand while he told them “I’m hungry” and “I’m thirsty”. That poor man didn’t understand what was happening to him as he was pumped full of medication that would end his life, and my family member wept for the soul that was being lost unnecessarily. He wasn’t terminally ill. He wasn’t particularly old. He wasn’t dying. He didn’t want to die. But he didn’t have a choice. Because his life was deemed dispensable by his family, and the Government gave them the power to end his life regardless of his needs or wishes. And when my family member told their workplace that they couldn’t continue performing these procedures — that their conscience wouldn’t allow it — they were told that it was their “legal duty” as a nurse. They still refused. But not everyone will have the moral fibre or bravery of my family member. The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and this is exactly what the Assisted Dying Bill opens the door to. It starts with “choice” and “dignity”. But suicide isn’t only done “when the patient wants it”. And the countries where it is already legalised have shown us the grim reality. In the Netherlands, 40% of euthanasia deaths occur without patient consent. In Canada, it has been offered to Paralympians who only asked for a mobility aid. If it can happen there; it will happen here. People 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 be killed against their will.

Just minutes ago at #COSP18: Our own @KristaCarrNB took the floor at the UN General Assembly and delivered an incredibly powerful message. 🎤 She spoke directly to *all* countries, including Canada's delegation. This wasn't just a speech; it was a stand. For too long, Canada has heard the UN's directives: ➡️ Repeal MAiD Track 2 ➡️ Close institutions ➡️ End segregation in ALL its forms ➡️ Deliver a REAL disability benefit These are not suggestions. They are human rights obligations. Krista's message was clear & unwavering: Ableism rebrands, but our resolve only strengthens. Every broken promise, every new label for old exclusion, fuels our fight. To families in Canada: We see you. Your fight matters. To governments: We see through the new labels. Rights are NOT negotiable. "We have courage. We have the Convention. We have each other. And we are NOT going anywhere." - Krista Carr The world heard. Now Canada must act. Watch her full remarks below. 👇 #COSP18 #DisabilityRights #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs #cdnpoli #CRPD #HumanRights #Accountability #InclusionCanada #MAiD #Deinstitutionalization

@myabradshaw78 Normally no. But the whole purpose of this trip is to send a message to Trump. I am in favour of that.
