@barbarafriesen Feel free to read a researched post about why just because other people do something doesn't mean we should do so as well.

Here is the first post. Please forgive typos. When I was explaining things to a good friend, they said "So like leaky condos but with fire" and I thought that was good description of Single exit stair change to BC Building Code. Part One.

"if your fire chiefs are telling you that they're worried about this, that's important to listen to."
BC Govt rushed through changes to BC Building Code reducing number of stairwells in some apt building to one, despite opposition from Fire Chiefs.

“I have seen the practice develop from euthanasia being an exception, to euthanasia becoming a rule.”
Assisted dying expert Professor Theo Boer warns there's evidence "all over the world" that legalising euthanasia "sets in motion a new dynamic" of supply and demand.

I spent months of my life working on my chapter. Editors spent even more time on this book. And it's pretty much all free labour so please stop with the resentment-pretending-to-be-edgy-activism.
For those who were asking about ebook version of upcoming book I (@mssinenomine) have chapter in along with @igrantubc & others. Edited by @TrudoLemmens@Psych_MD & Ramona Coelho see here: Unravelling MAiD in Canada | McGill-Queen’s University Press https://t.co/Tjc0uV3rnD
Some rather unpleasant messages were sent regarding 'profiting' from this.
1. I'm poor & often can't buy books. Please urge your library to purchase copies & put advance hold.
2. No one is getting rich off writing academic books against MAiD ffs.
Here is my article - twenty years after an article with the same title. Why we should reject the emotional manipulation and dodgy statistics that plague the ‘assisted dying’ debate.https://t.co/7QKOIBlClG
Hi. This is @mssinenomine Short of finding a way to contact an actual human working at X it appears impossible to get back into my acc0unt. The process in place - you report via dropdown menu. It sends email which tells you to log in which you can't so- back to report...repeat.
"Redundancy is a cornerstone of safety. BC NDP just obliterated a secondary means of emergency egress from the BC Building Code ignoring the warnings and opposition of Fire Chiefs across the province & country"
Important thread on this developer lobbyist driven change 👇
Ellen Wiebe is a very dishonest and frankly, frightening woman.
Here she is asserting expertise about subject matter while making up a whole new word I've never seen anyone use in any context "undisabled."
Her expertise is killing. That is her area of expertise - nothing else.
Difficult to pick which part of this piece to highlight.
"The report also said the procedure was scheduled “based on the spouse’s preference of timing.” Officials questioned whether “the patient’s death was genuinely voluntary & free of coercion.” #MAID

Ellen Wiebe is repeating a regular claim of MAiD proponents - that not giving MAiD to non-dying disabled people would be discriminatory.
She's relying on people being unaware that disability includes anyone with chronic illness, mental illness, etc...as well as impairments.
