I've become a big fan of Canada in seeing how (relatively) little controversy euthanasia seems to arouse in that country despite the entire right-wing Anglosphere losing its mind over it.
Canadians have the most up close experience with MAID. They know that it is a humane, rational policy that provides people in difficult situations a humane way to die with dignity.
Rightists sitting in America and the UK getting their information about MAID from the Daily Mail and the New York Post are convinced that Canada is eliminating every twenty year old who comes in with a cough.
But Canada knows what it is doing is right. All the data and facts are on their side. The other side has sensationalist anecdotes that fall apart under scrutiny, and paranoid conspiracy theories about Canada being the Fourth Reich and eliminating the weak and vulnerable for pleasure and profit.
On that basis, they want government to force people to be indefinitely tortured. It's hard to think of many positions more disgusting than that.
I'm proud of you, Canada. You are showing humanity the way forward. 🇨🇦https://t.co/SKyKybPkgV
The only possible way that the separatist petition should even be considered by @ElectionsAB is if every single signature is personally verified with every single signee.
Full Stop.
If you agree please repost.
Kinew is easily one of the most impressive and likeable politicians in Canada imo.
He's clearly a progressive and unapologetic about it, but he treats everyone from both sides with respect and dignity, and tries to meet people int he middle when he can. More of this.
Pierre Poilievre named #1 spreader of disinformation in Canada by ChatGPT. Even Elon Musk’s Grok has named Poilievre as the Canadian politician spreading the most disinformation on X. https://t.co/EVEAJYMXA5
Poilievre in media scrum. Unwilling to answer any questions. Answers questions with a question. Rude, ignorant to reporters. Voting for him will provide Canadians with NO ANSWERS. #cdnpoli#onpoli#peipoli
“I would say to every Canadian who is listening to this: You should be looking up the voting records of whoever you're voting for in the upcoming election and see how they have voted on bills related to reproductive rights”
Well said, @DrJenGunter.

A sign of wisdom is choosing not to believe everything you think. A mark of emotional intelligence is choosing not to internalize everything you feel.
Thoughts and emotions are possibilities to ponder, not facts to accept. We don’t always invite them in, but we do decide whether they deserve to stay.
