Toronto area folks: I'll be talking about MAID for mental illness this Thursday.

[Nick Dunn @nm_dunn]

Not to mention failing to have any conception of the distinction between free speech and academic freedom.

[Sean Carleton @SeanCarleton]

Key Alberta separatist, Jeff, here can't seem to tell the difference between "the federal state arresting people for opinions they disagree with" and local Lethbridge police arresting someone for trespassing after being warned but doing it anyway as a publicity stunt. Womp womp.

[Nick Dunn @nm_dunn]

Yawn.

it just gets to a point...

[Tamara Jansen @TamaraJansenMP]

What if your doctor decided whether you lived or died… by the flip of a coin?

At the MAiD committee, Dr. Sonu Gaind testified psychiatrists can be wrong up to 50% of the time predicting recovery.

And it can be impossible to tell suicidality from a MAiD request.

Life or death shouldn’t be guesswork.

Globe editorial: Alberta's MAID bill is a chance for legal clarity

[Zachary Weeks👨‍🦼♿️ @zacharyweeks]

The UCP voted down the Accessible Alberta Act, a bill meant to start removing barriers and move us toward a barrier-free Alberta by 2040. Actions speak louder than words. The 27% will be back. And we won’t forget.

Every Albertan should know that the UCP just killed the Accessible Alberta Act, a bill that would begin the process of removing barriers for people with disabilities to create a barrier-free Alberta by 2040.

UCP says disabled people matter. Watch what they do not what they say.
