« This (hospice) funding gap sends a clear message: care for dying people is less valued than aggressive treatments and high tech medical advances. » Brilliant piece! https://t.co/j2EqrqnKBr

Health Canada released a questionnaire on MAID's next legislative expansion: advanced requests.

MAID is already violating disabled rights, to expand even further now with the impact its having is a guaranteed way to continue breaching disabled rights.

[Sarah Colero @Sarah_Colero]

- MAID Tracks 1 & 2 are active in Canada and are coercive (Says the CHRC, the UN, disabled orgs)

- MAID's sole condition mental illness clause is already legislated and is coming into effect in 2027

- the org who advocated for T2 has backtracked after seeing evidence of abuse

Agree is wonderful news.

News only possible because we don’t sanction ending life prematurely in this country. Let's keep it that way. @danny__kruger @_IPMCA @DyingWellAppg @Live_Die_Well @DavidAltonHL

Interesting.
Would she still be alive if assisted dying had been legal a year ago?

ASSISTED DYING: "Euthanasia in Canada is easier to get than MRI (scan)" @rogerfoley

What has been shown in places like Canada should serve as a warning about the risks of this Assisted Dying Bill

Assisted dying can be a slippery slope

Palliative care in action…ICU consultant asks if I can go to ED Resus now to jointly assess someone who has just been referred to him. As we arrive ED Team say ‘perfect combination… just what we need right now… you should always work like this’ #paliativecare

MAiD and the law: B.C. case shows how courts offer crucial oversight when lives are at stake. A thoughtful & thought provoking review of EAS/ AD/ assisted dying / assisted suicide in practice https://t.co/l0ogqGZEKC

[Georgia Leigha Gilholy @llggeorgia]

The Labour Whip who objected to the Children’s Hospices (Funding) Bill voted in favour of assisted dying, specifically saying “assisted dying should not become an alternative to high-quality palliative and end of life care.”

#WTF?

#AssistedDyingBill would create a “2 tier system where one person who’s fit and able to be productive in society can get the treatment they need but another life is disposable.

“This is inherently unfair, inequitable and dark.”

From Palliative care drop-in in Parliament today.
