@AmandaAchtman @cpso_ca There is a protocol that needs to be followed. If you had screenshot the entire section from the website you would have seen it.

Canadians are literally being assessed for euthanasia over the medical equivalent of a Zoom meeting.
The @cpso_ca even describes online witnessing to death requests as "virtual care."
This is so dark.

@comrade_coco @AmandaAchtman @cpso_ca Could you please provide the name and location of one of these homes? Also something proving it is closing because it won't offer MAID. I haven't heard about this and I'm very curious to learn more. Thank you.

@AmandaAchtman @cpso_ca Senior homes are literally being shut down for not offering MAID as an option.

@nemo_gratis @CSmartarsery @Gerry39464526 Yes, there is still a ban on tankers carrying certain products and certain amounts.

Explain to me like I’m fully vaxxed WHY is there a tanker ban on the west coast but not on the east coast? Millions of people in the east live along the tanker route whereas almost nobody lives on the west coast, a few thousand natives. WHY is one banned but not the other? WTF

@CSmartarsery @Gerry39464526 Irving exports 75% of the oil that goes from Canada to the US. It is the largest refinery in the country.

@Gerry39464526 Canada exports = West coast
Foreign imports = East coast

This is a sad day for NS. We can't get any answers from Con MLAs about the Budget and now the people who are supposed to be working for us have locked us out. MLAs are supposed to represent their constituents. They are supposed to bring up our concerns not ignore them.

@TristinHopper The official police statement refers to the person as a "youth". There is absolutely no indication of sex given. The news release is part way down the page:

That's two consecutive Canadian school shooting plots involving trans-identifying teenagers. And this is in a country where K-12 school shootings are exceedingly rare. If this were *any other* demographic cohort, media and politicians would rightly be asking what the hell is happening.

@_SouthOfHeaven_ @DataSavvyDad @aleksprisms @gator_gum @JillCo @DaveWells157951 White men comprise approx 35% of our population but closer to 85% of executive positions for publicly traded cos. You are absolutely correct when you say that skin colour and sex shouldn't matter. Too bad it has forever. It's time to hire others who are just as qualified.
English
@NSValley @DataSavvyDad @aleksprisms @gator_gum @JillCo @DaveWells157951 🤦🏻♀️ are you new?
A man self IDs as a woman…he gets celebrated, not “found out”.
The LGBTQ+ box gets ticked.
DEI for the win.
Wake up woman.
Best person for the job means your skin colour, sex, and who you like to fuck should be irrelevant in hiring.

I have a Canadian friend who is now an internal medicine doctor. He tried to get into med school in Canada - was rejected not because of grades but because he's a white male - so he went abroad.
He then did his residency in Miami.
He returned to Canada and applied to be a doctor in his home country. Was rejected.
He was just hired by a huge hospital outside of Boston where he'll make triple the salary. His wife said when she gets pregnant, they'll have their baby in the US.
And this is how brain drain happens.
Canada does not nurture/protect its talent. This is why the country is bleeding intelligent/successful people - and they're relocating to America en masse.
Eric Jackson@ericjackson
71% of Waterloo's best engineers leave Canada (UWaterloo SE Class of 2022 graduate survey). And nobody riots. In any other country, a 71% talent export rate would be a national emergency. In Canada, it's Tuesday. The problem isn't the people who leave. They're rational. The US pays 2-3x more, taxes less, and builds things that matter. The problem is the people who stay and never ask why the system is designed to make leaving the rational choice. Canada doesn't have a brain drain problem. It has a demand problem. Nobody demands better. Not from the universities. Not from the employers. Not from the government. The best leave. The rest adjust. The cycle continues. Every country gets the talent retention rate it deserves.
English
@_SouthOfHeaven_ @DataSavvyDad @aleksprisms @gator_gum @JillCo @DaveWells157951 If someone self-identifies as something they're not they should be found out pretty quickly during the hiring process.
English
@NSValley @DataSavvyDad @aleksprisms @gator_gum @JillCo @DaveWells157951 Right.
It’s really levelling the playing field when people can just “self-ID” as whatever they want 🤣🙄
English
@_SouthOfHeaven_ @DataSavvyDad @aleksprisms @gator_gum @JillCo @DaveWells157951 These roles aren't being filled with lesser candidates; they are trying to level the playing field by ensuring a certain percentage of their hires are equally qualified people who have historically been underrepresented.
English
@NSValley @DataSavvyDad @aleksprisms @gator_gum @JillCo @DaveWells157951 They’re lucky I bothered to find one for them at all. Google is simple to use.
Tons of university roles hire by that criteria. Even if it’s not stated directly, they still have DEI quotas to fill.

@_SouthOfHeaven_ @DataSavvyDad @aleksprisms @gator_gum @JillCo @DaveWells157951 At least post the full description of the role and requirements so the people who won't bother to click on the link will see what the position is.

@KentAtwater7 @Eta_Miraklo @Tablesalt13 The op makes it sound like the funeral homes are administering the drugs. Your posts also infer they are directly involved in the procedure when that is not true. All they are doing is giving another option for where it can be done besides a clinical setting or at home.

Muriel, a Canadian woman, gets diagnosed with cancer.
She THEN gets offered DEATH by lethal injection by THREE different people:
-Her doctor, the specialist, AND THEN the funeral home said they could do it too.
There's no slippery slope, they said.

@notrednotnow @KentAtwater7 @Eta_Miraklo @Tablesalt13 Willingly ignorant is more to the point, I believe. Either way they don't care that they're spreading misinformation. I think they revel in it.

@KentAtwater7 @Eta_Miraklo @Tablesalt13 Did you read the article or just the headline? The doctor, Ellen Wiebe, administered the drug protocol in a funeral home. The staff of the funeral home did not administer it.

@kpac_15 @FlavioEvan A 27 year old is not a child. She is an adult. A fully grown woman. She is autonomous. Why would you think he could decide anything for her? He doesn't have Power of Attorney.
English
Declaring an otherwise healthy 27 year old who had autism and ADHD as a MAID participant after her father said she was completely healthy, yet two of three doctors argued the dad couldn’t speak for his child is disgusting. And idiots like you should shut your mouths.
Just because the law doesn’t specify autism as an actual mental disorder.
FU. Seriously. cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…

I want to take a moment. This is just me speaking, not the fact-checker. Just a person.
To everyone who has been through this process with someone they love: I see you. These are among the hardest moments a family can face, and the courage it takes to walk that road with someone deserves nothing but respect.
I wrote this thread to challenge political messaging, not the dignity of those decisions. When MAID becomes a talking point on a podcast, real families get erased from the conversation. The health practitioners who carry this work with compassion every day, the patients who make this deeply personal choice, and the loved ones who hold their hands through it are not a statistic or a scare story.
We can debate ethics and policy. We should. But we can do it as Canadians who recognize the humanity on every side of this.
That part is not political. That part is just human. 🍁

1/5 🔍 REALITY CHECK: Is 1 in 20 deaths in Canada really assisted suicide? The Claim: Rogan cites the "1 in 20" stat and claims a young Canadian got it for seasonal depression. Poilievre validates this, warning that MAID shouldn't be "offered to kids" or people "whose only condition is mental illness." The Implication: They are framing this statistic as a dystopian reality where the Canadian government is actively euthanizing physically healthy, depressed youth instead of offering them help. The Reality: Yes, the math is actually right. According to Health Canada's 6th Annual Report, there were 16,499 MAID provisions in 2024, representing 5.1% of all deaths in the country. So yes, roughly 1 in 20 deaths in Canada is an assisted suicide. But there is a BIG "but." When you look at the actual data, the demographic driving this number is entirely different from what Poilievre and Rogan are suggesting: Terminal Illness: Over 95% of MAID provisions were "Track 1" cases, meaning the person's natural death was already reasonably foreseeable. Cancer, not depression: Cancer was the most frequently cited condition, affecting more than 63% of MAID recipients, and the median age of a recipient was 77.9 years old. Mental Illness is legally excluded: Anyone whose sole underlying medical condition is a mental illness is legally barred from accessing MAID in Canada; that expansion was met with heavy pushback and has been officially delayed until at least March 17, 2027. Furthermore, MAID is strictly limited to adults 18 and older. The Bottom Line: Let's be precise. 1 out of every 20 total deaths in Canada (about 5%) is from MAID. But if you look inside that 5%, it consists almost entirely of terminally ill, elderly patients—not depressed kids. 👇 Receipts: Health Canada's 6th Annual Report on MAID (released late 2025 detailing 2024 data). Bill C-39 / C-62 (Delaying MAID for mental illness until 2027).

@KentAtwater7 @Eta_Miraklo @Tablesalt13 Some funeral homes are providing rooms for people who have been approved if they want a non-clinical option but don't want to have the procedure done at home. They do not administer it.

@KimonoGirl214 @AmandaAchtman @Polichromos It's a legal procedure. The person is under no obligation to have a funeral there. What is the problem other than your personal opinion?
English
@NSValley @AmandaAchtman @Polichromos Aren’t they providing a space for it to be done? Anyone or any business with moral integrity cannot participate in that.

Euthanasia is routinely offered to Canadian seniors unsolicited.
Muriel says she was offered MAID:
•By her family doctor
•By a specialist
•By a funeral home
“This is almost being advertised and promoted,” she told me.
How do you think this makes seniors feel?
English
@Fearless_Grit @Tablesalt13 Doctors are paid for their services. This is a service fee schedule. What are you trying to imply?
English
@auxillaryinput @Oldfivehole @Tablesalt13 @pamela_gorrie There are some funeral homes offering rooms for people who have been approved for MAID if they want a non-clinical option but they don't want the procedure at home. They are not and cannot provide the service themselves. Google funeral homes and MAID.
cbc.ca/news/canada/lo…
English
@Oldfivehole @Tablesalt13 @pamela_gorrie Same-day MAiD is available under certain conditions.
Some funeral homes do offer MAiD services. The lady in the video confirms it.
So theoretically, at least, it is possible to have the procedure and your funeral on the same day.

@Shareme23 @JaimeFraser @AmandaAchtman She and her husband went to their GP to discuss end of life procedures. Whether you or she agree or disagree with it MAID is a legal end of life procedure in Canada under certain circumstances. He mentioned it, she said no. She wasn't given papers to sign. She wasn't coerced.
English
Curious...what makes you say none of it happened? Miriam, gave a detailed interview to Amanda Achtman about her hospital visit at Vancouver General where MAID was offered immediately. Fresh reports confirm the core details. If you have evidence it's fabricated, I'd genuinely like to see it please.
