When financial means is used as a reason for a physician to approve euthanasia, then all humane logic is abandoned. When a service could be provided (housing, medical treatment, counseling) rather than euthanasia, the choice is based on the state’s ‘gain’ and not the patient’s benefit. This was disturbing when first conceived as a state-run option and has morphed into an evil and dangerous system.
"disability, chronic illness, psychological suffering, poverty, and social isolation now appear at the center of many eligibility debates. This shift has transformed MAID from an end‑of‑life measure into a far broader mechanism for state‑facilitated death."
The current situation was preceded by low-quality socialized medicine provided by the government. Of course, the government could not keep up with the demand for medical services or current innovations in medicine. Once again, socialism has been demonstrated to be a death cult. When will people begin to learn fro history?
The horror here is not necessarily one of ideological malice, as it was with the Nazis. It is the quieter, more modern horror of the spreadsheet. It is the bureaucratic logic of a state that has discovered it is cheaper to eliminate a citizen than to care for them.
“I live in the Managerial Age, in a world of 'Admin.' The greatest evil is not done in those sordid 'dens of crime' that Dickens loved to paint. It is not done even in concentration camps and labour camps. In those we see its final result. But it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice….where power is exercised not through overt violence, but through cold, administrative decisions.”
Let’s stop pretending the Five Eyes alliance still shares a common civilization. It doesn’t. Canada now runs a state euthanasia machine, killing roughly fifty citizens a day while calling it “health care.” Britain and France lecture America about values while dismantling the very moral foundations that built the West. Allies? Yes. Friends? Not anymore. A nation that normalizes medically administered death as a solution to suffering has walked away from the American moral order built on human dignity and natural rights. Washington must face reality: intelligence alliances require shared principles. When those principles collapse, the alliance becomes a liability. Dissolve Five Eyes. America must lead again.
This is absolutely chilling, Alexander. I was born and raised in Canada, and have been an American citizen and pastor here in the United States for decades now. I have often prayed for and bemoaned the spiritual state of my native land for many years now. I have often said that Canada desired to become Europe, and sadly they succeeded. I saw this in terms of how secular it has become since its strong Christian rooting during my childhood years. This piece highlights an ominous new dimension to that secularism. I thank you for sharing it and will pray for spiritual and political change there.
Please avoid signing DNRs. Doctors at the University Hospital would have pulled the plug on our father after he was diagnosed with pneumonia during his terminal cancer treatment. We insisted that he stay intubated and his pneumonia treated with the goal of his recovery. The doctors warned us that he might not have all of his faculties if he survived the pneumonia. We didn’t care. We were taking him back home no matter the outcome. Dad survived his pneumonia ordeal, and we all celebrated that he was still the father we knew and loved. We had several more special months with him. He died at home as he wished, and we were able to give him the best of care.
He didn’t want to leave us and was so happy when he woke from his coma and was taken off intubation. He avoided opioids because he hated the bad dreams they gave him. He was an inspiration in how he faced his terminal cancer.
Minnesota has already passed legislation disguised as “compassionate care” allowing medically assisted suicide. Things like this always begin as “care” but as you see Canada has morally corrupted the system. The same thing will happen in the United States if we allow it. Most people don’t even know that many states are passing this legislation. Thank you for the article Alexander.

Chilling and heartbreaking. Praying. Jesus is our only Hope.

The Final Solution to rising healthcare costs.
There never was healthcare..just pharma opportunism.

~ C.S. Lewis “The Screwtape Letters
Human life is meant to be from conception to natural death.
This is murder.
I'd like to see some serious, quality research into these questions:
1. How many MAIDs deaths involved people who willfully, knowingly desired to have their life terminated in the manner it was done?
2. How many were coerced in some way, e.g., a doctor suggested it to them, they were mentally incapable of understanding the decision, etc.
3. Did any have a living will that said what they want in this regard, and was it done according to their wishes?
Isn't Canada healthcare great?

Also: scrap NATO and the UN while we're at it.
As a Canadian..I have to agree. The elbows up crowd has sold us out
Yep, the Canucks are fucked…and they did it to themselves. Maybe this program can be exported to Portland and LA.
Actually, as a Canadian..I do t recall any opportunity to give input in this treachery. May Trudeau rot in hell asap

Did your father want all this treatment?

Just like gender affirming care. Such an evil lie.
Absolutely demonic.
Also, How much money was rewarded to doctors for harvesting organs?????
Disgusting!
