Assisted suicide — Canada’s latest solution to loneliness.
Open-ended, judge-determined criteria for euthanasia takes us to icky places
Your great and good National Post published an important story on assisted suicide on Thursday, chronicling a startling change in policy by the B.C. Civil Liberties Association. The left-libertarian BCCLA was the most important institutional force behind the litigation efforts that led to euthanasia legalization in Canada (under the rancid euphemistic cover of “medical assistance in dying,” or “MAiD”). Up until recently, every member and contributor of that group would have unquestionably cited legal suicide as its single most impressive accomplishment, its firmest and proudest stamp on Canadian history. Now … not so much.
Earlier this month, the federal government’s annual report on MAiD for calendar 2023 was released, and it confirmed some of these concerns. Ninety-six per cent of MAiD recipients come from what the law calls “Track 1” of the long black train; they have a terminal illness and their death is “reasonably foreseeable” without being hastened at state expense. Among these people, 14,721 of whom were MAiDed, 45 per cent cited being a “perceived burden on family, friends or caregivers” as one motive for seeking assisted suicide.
Among the smaller group on Track 2 — 622 people who were suffering intolerably but not terminally ill — this figure was similar, but 47 per cent also cited “isolation or loneliness” as a motive. That figure was only 21 per cent, which might still be high enough to induce nervousness, in the large Track 1 group.
And who makes that determination? Him?
Dr. Sunny Ways my friend, Sunny Ways…..Justin Trudeau.
He’s dead to right on this one.
“If you fall and can’t get up, now you can comfortably die right there!” said Dorian Michel, director of Canada’s Euthanasia Initiative. “This will save so much hassle with trying to help old people back up to their feet. I don’t know if you have ever tried to help an eighty-year-old off a bathroom floor, but it is a HUGE pain.”
According to sources, the Canadian team got the idea when an old man called for an ambulance and said he was hurting so badly, he wished he were dead. “That’s when we partnered with Life Alert systems – so a fallen geriatric in maximum pain could finish the job right then and there!” said Mr. Michel, loading cyanide into one of the systems. “Old people don’t want us to make such a fuss over them when they break their hips. Now, they can go straight from undignified fall to dignified death!”
At publishing time, investigators revealed that Roomba had agreed to start directing their units to trip old people in exchange for kickbacks from Life Alert.
My morning prayer…repeat. Like the rosary I say this prayer every single day:
Dear Lord, please, please give us a new British-like music invasion. Hey, we’ll even take one from Canada. Please, please take Justin Bieber, Beyonce and Taylor Swift and give us a newer version of Led Zepelin, The Stones…Beatles….ELO, anyone or any band or anyone person or group with real talent, and that doesn’t suck or sound the same. Please dear lord…PLEASE…Amen!
Have a nice day:
