Let’s clear something up about MAID in Canada.
It does not apply to children. You must be 18 or older. Mature minors do not qualify. Full stop.
It does not apply to people simply because they are poor or struggling. To be eligible, you must have a serious and incurable illness, disease or disability, be in an advanced state of irreversible decline, and be experiencing intolerable suffering that cannot be relieved in any way you find acceptable. Financial hardship alone is not a criterion.
It is not a rubber stamp. Approval requires assessments by two independent practitioners who review your medical records and confirm you have seriously considered available treatment options. When death is not reasonably foreseeable, a minimum 90-day assessment period is required.
People whose only medical condition is a mental illness are not currently eligible either, that eligibility has been postponed to March 2027 while further safeguards are studied.
You can have moral or religious objections to assisted dying. That is a legitimate position held by a lot of Canadians. But spreading misinformation about what the law actually says is not an argument. It is just fearmongering. Know wtf you are talking about before you talk about it.
@pipkinpippa Good or bad prices, quality or FWs, in my Cdn city there’s always a line up at Tim Horton’s drive thru even if there is a TH located every couple of miles or so. DD has a big challenge ahead if they think they can crack that market.
Ignoring the Canadian Census isn’t harmless. It shortchanges your own community. When people don’t respond, Stats Can undercounts your area, and that translates into lost funding, fewer services, and weaker representation. You’re essentially kneecapping your own neighbourhood.
If a monkey hoarded more bananas than it could eat, while most of the other monkeys starved, scientists would study that monkey to figure out what was wrong with it.
When humans do it, we put them on the cover of Forbes.
@LightOnLiberty That kind of lying should be prosecuted. Undermining democracy like that, accusations without evidence about the legitimacy of a constitutional institution (never mind Jan 6) seems traitorous to me.
@Sincericidiolit Once again, People Magazine use Harry and Meghan to show their disdain for the Royal Family. Like they couldn’t have published this last week?
@TochukwuAgba Every second post on X is a lie. Getting where it’s hard to believe anything on here anymore. So what’s your motive or the point of your lie?
