🚨 Canada’s euthanasia program is crossing a chilling milestone.

The country is on track to surpass 100,000 assisted suicides through its Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program - higher than Canada’s World War II death toll.

Originally framed for patients with a reasonably foreseeable natural death, the program now includes a controversial “Track 2” pathway, where death is not expected soon. Under that framework, hospital assessors and bioethicists evaluate whether someone seeking MAID has considered other options before being approved.

Critics say the criteria are vague and dangerously broad. Mental health professionals, disability advocates, and even some physicians warn that poverty, lack of care, and untreated suffering could influence these decisions.

Even the United Nations has raised concerns, urging Canada to halt the expansion.

When a medical system shifts from healing the sick to facilitating death, serious ethical questions follow.

What do you think happens to the doctor–patient relationship when the healthcare system becomes the gatekeeper to death?

This should be front-page news, but it isn’t… yet.

One of the largest petitions in Canadian history has just been tabled in Parliament—and it’s entirely grassroots. No political parties. No major organizations. Just Canadians pushing back.

At the core, it’s about something most people assume they already have: the freedom to choose how they take care of their own health.

People are fed up with natural products being treated like drugs, with access being restricted, and with decisions being made by regulators instead of individuals. This petition forces the government to respond—but what they do next depends on pressure from the public.

That’s where you come in.

Take a couple of minutes to contact a Liberal MP. Send an e-letter, make a phone call, or even mail a physical letter. Tell them you expect them to support the Charter of Health Freedom. Link to @nhppa’s Action Page in thread ⬇️

[Ced L'Optimiste @cedrictardif]

Encore une fois, la CAQ réagit à un drame en affaiblissant les droits fondamentaux.

Avec le projet de loi 23, on abaisse le seuil pour priver quelqu’un de sa liberté : on passe de « danger grave et immédiat » à une notion beaucoup plus floue.

➡️ Résultat ?
Plus d’hospitalisations forcées
Plus de risques d’abus
Plus de contrôle social sur les plus vulnérables
Pendant ce temps, on sous-investit dans les vraies solutions :
logement, équipes de crise, suivi communautaire.
On ne soigne pas la détresse avec plus de contrainte, mais avec plus de services.
Pourquoi choisir l’enfermement plutôt que le soutien ?

[susanna romantica @susannaromanti1]

@Jerome_bg N'importe qui pourra être facilement enfermé sous prétexte de santé mentale avec une telle loi qui aura encore des dérives comme celle de l'euthanasie. Pourtant la charte donne le droit de choisir ses soins. Ce pays devient inquiétant.

[Jérôme Blanchet-Gravel @Jerome_bg]

Dieu sait que les problèmes de santé mentale sont aujourd’hui bien réels au Québec, surtout depuis que le gouvernement a enfermé la population pendant près de deux ans. Mais il faut rester vigilant devant la volonté de Québec de faciliter les hospitalisations forcées et «préventives». Dans un contexte d’élargissement du pouvoir médical, d’incitation à la surmédication et de déclin des libertés, le risque demeure réel de voir les autorités invoquer une notion floue de danger pour soumettre arbitrairement des individus.

🇨🇦 CANADA’S FOOD CRISIS IS POLITICAL, NOT VIRAL

How the CFIA’s Heavy Hand and Government Silence Are Breaking Farmers and Public Trust Alike

What started with a few hundred healthy ostriches in B.C. has become a national scandal.

At Universal Ostrich Farm in Edgewood, B.C., the CFIA ordered every bird destroyed over a suspected case of Avian Flu even though none were sick at the time and all on 2 PCR Tests done in Dec 2024. The owners begged for independent testing, collaboration, and real science. Instead, the government sent lawyers, RCMP, and court orders.

And what showed up next shocked the community:
- 60 to 100 RCMP officers stationed around a peaceful family farm
- Nearly the same on standby for 45–60 days
- Barricades, fencing, massive amounts of Hah Bales, dozens of porta potties, Super Save crews, Trucks, waste bins, lighting towers, and 24-hour patrols
- who knows how many CFIA Agents and Workers
- Mercinary Kilkers brought in to shoot the Ostriches (Over 900 shots counted and herd)

All this to destroy healthy birds while refusing to test even one.

The Estimated taxpayer cost: $3.4 to $5.8 MILLION (Amounts are Liberal Estimates and Could be much higher)

Here’s where the money went:
• $1.8M–$2.7 M → RCMP (overtime, hotels, per diems, travel)
• $490K–$880K → standby police detachments
• $250K–$350K → CFIA enforcement staff
• $350K–$500K→ fencing, Hay Bales, bin rentals, cleanup
• $150K–$250K → fuel, vehicles, generators, trailers
• $750K–$1.6M → legal, court & admin costs

👉 Total: nearly $3.5 - $5.8 million and counting for one small ostrich farm and People Standing up Due Process

Meanwhile, violent crime, drug deaths, and theft plague communities but Ottawa thought birds were the bigger threat.

“You’d think they were raiding a cartel,” said one resident. “These were peaceful farmers and families, not criminals.”

⚠️ THIS ISN’T AN ISOLATED CASE

Across Canada, the same pattern keeps repeating.
• 1980s, Saskatchewan: Grant Alexander’s herd destroyed for a disease that never existed.
• 2024, Alberta: Over 2,000 cattle killed near Stettler after one positive sample — later proven clean.
• 2022–2025, BC & Alberta: Tens of thousands of chickens destroyed; farmers threatened for questioning CFIA orders.
• 2023, Nova Scotia: 20 backyard birds culled in hours.
• Prairies: Deer and elk herds destroyed over Chronic Wasting Disease with unclear evidence or compensation.

Since 2021, the CFIA has killed over 11 million birds in Canada yet Avian Flu still spreads through migratory wild birds, rodents and wildlife the one thing they can’t control or haven’t tried to control.

Instead of science, Canada got politics, optics, and bureaucracy. Instead of testing and vaccine research, we got police escorts and legal threats.
Instead of learning, we got silence.

BILLIONS FOR BUREAUCRACY AND PENNIES FOR SCIENCE

The CFIA’s “stamping-out” policy is an outdated hammer being swung at every farm. They spend millions on enforcement and almost nothing on innovation or rapid-testing. And every time it happens, it’s the small to medium family farms that pay the price while big corporate operations thrive.

“We’re one positive test away from bankruptcy,” said a Fraser Valley poultry farmer.

🤫 POLITICAL SILENCE AND NATIONAL CONSEQUENCES

Not a word from:
• Prime Minister Mark Carney
• Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre
• Local MP Scott Anderson, reportedly told Poilievre not to get involved
• Premier David Eby, who allowed the RCMP siege to happen on provincial soil

“Every party missed this one,” said a retired CFIA vet. “It’s easier to stay silent than admit the policy is broken.”

Farmers now see CFIA and RCMP as agencies to fear, not trust.
“If they can send 100 officers for ostriches but not five for a Violent Crimes, break-ins, Even missing Children that go missing on weekly basis without the samd level of attention, then Something is Seriously Wrong and Something is Seriously broken.” /1
