Canadian Shame: Canada's liberal euthanasia laws create culture of death

[SugarDaddy1]

As Democrats celebrate the passage of a bill that will entrench the government in our healthcare, our neighbors to the north provide a chilling example of the effects of socialized medicine. A recent Associated Press expose about the culture of death within Canada’s single-payer system shows how putting the government in charge of healthcare leads to the devaluing of human life, particularly the most vulnerable.

Despite these already liberal guidelines, Canada’s euthanasia laws will become even more open on several levels. First, so-called mature youths under the age of 18 will qualify for this “mercy killing.”

In addition, people will be able to qualify for death based exclusively on mental health conditions. Coming so soon after the coronavirus pandemic, when prolonged lockdowns in many locations, including in Canada, exacerbated depression and related symptoms, this liberalization could lead to an explosion of new deaths from euthanasia.

When Canada can allow for euthanasia based solely on a person's disability, which international experts have called a human rights violation, it exemplifies a culture that devalues the most vulnerable. That culture becomes manifest in cases such as Nichols’s as requests by his brother and family members for an investigation into the suspicious circumstances of his death have gone nowhere.

lol...ok you claimed it, you name em "which international experts have called a human rights violation"
Days before his death, family members begged Nichols, a former school janitor who lived alone and struggled with depression, not to go through with the procedure. They still don’t know why doctors approved the life-ending procedure and insist that Nichols did not fit the government criteria of facing an “imminent death.”

Alan Nichols was not diagnosed as mental ill, as such he exercised his right as a competent adult. That his family disagreed is a legal mute point.

I truly hope you end up with ALS or some such debilitating disease, and you can fucking suffer through it till the end you dumbfuck American.

Up here however our citizens have the right to decide how they should pass away, when faced with a painful terminal disease.

Euthanasia “cannot be a default for Canada’s failure to fulfill its human rights obligations,” said Marie-Claude Landry, the head of its Human Rights Commission.

Landry said she shares the “grave concern” voiced last year by three U.N. human rights experts, who wrote that Canada’s euthanasia law appeared to violate the agency’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights. They said the law had a “discriminatory impact” on disabled people and was inconsistent with Canada’s obligations to uphold international human rights standards.

Tim Stainton, director of the Canadian Institute for Inclusion and Citizenship at the University of British Columbia, described Canada’s law as “probably the biggest existential threat to disabled people since the Nazis’ program in Germany in the 1930s.”

Euthanasia should be a basic human right. Do not give a fuck what the man in the says. To be able to end what you seem to be unbearable suffering either physical or mental speaks of a mature society. Able to have grown up conversation about difficult topics.

Canada is awesome. Americans are just jelly.

Since the end of the Cold War, like much of the western world, Canada has been lulled into complacency. “War” no longer happened in the West: our forces battled the Taliban, or ISIS, but never the army of a nation-state like Russia’s.

Our geographic position and harmonious approach to foreign policy with the United States have also insulated Canada from the threat of invasion. We have lived under the American defence umbrella for so long, we can no longer picture the open sky. But the cold light of day is piercing through, and it begets some hard questions.

How bad is it? Consider just one example: Canada’s near-complete lack of air defence capabilities. If we were subjected to bombardment by plane, helicopter or even drone, as Ukraine has been, we have little ability to fight back. The previous Conservative government briefly considered beefing up our defences, before retreating from the purchase of F-35 fighter jets in 2010. Eleven years later, the Liberals still have no timeline for replacing our 40-year-old fleet of CF-18s.

Good thing we signed those treaties with the US way back in the mid 1950's when the US wanted to be protected from an over the top USSR launched attack. Not to mention being a founding member of NATO, note our longer term commitment to assisting the US and allies in all but one war since WW2 as well.


But nice deflection from your op eh?

 

[Rainblow]

The only ones creating a culture of death here are the provincial Conservative's cap on disability support payments. Ffs, they suck so bad the Liberal government is developing a disability payment that Cons can't claw back.

From your link and quote....."that Canada’s euthanasia law appeared to violate the agency’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights"

See the word in red.....this means in their opinion, it doesn't mean it does violate the UDHR.

Americans like sugardaddy appear to be trolling idiots, but that doesn't mean they are.......

See how that works SD....

Canadian shame, indeed! The last time a team from Canada won the Stanley Cup was 1993.

The Montreal Canadiens with their 24th Stanley Cup win as well BTW.....

When was the last time any NHL team won a Stanley Cup that had a majority of players born in the USA?

Want the answer..........NEVER....*chuckles* Every team that has ever won a Stanley Cup, has had at least 60% of the players being born in Canada....

Got tired of getting beaten up as SD in this thread? Or what....

After pleading unsuccessfully for affordable housing to help ease her chronic health condition, a Canadian woman ended her life in February under the country’s assisted-suicide laws. Another woman, suffering from the same condition and also living on disability payments, has nearly reached final approval to end her life.

The two high-profile cases have prompted disbelief and outrage, and shone a light on Canada’s right-to-die laws, which critics argue are being misused to punish the poor and infirm. In late April, the Spectator ran a story with the provocative headline: Why is Canada euthanising the poor?

In February, a 51-year-old Ontario woman known as Sophia was granted physician-assisted death after her chronic condition became intolerable and her meagre disability stipend left her little to survive on, according to CTV News.

“The government sees me as expendable trash, a complainer, useless and a pain in the ass,” she said in a video obtained by the network. For two years, she and friends had pleaded without success for better living conditions, she said.

Sorry our laws upset you so much.....again I hope you end up with a painful terminal illness, and have to suffer to the end. Imagine, being fully cognitive, in a body that is dying all around you....pain is the only thing you feel since the drugs can no longer hold it back....*chuckles* fuck I'd hold a party just to watch idiots like you suffer, since you seem to want to deny it to others who decide they don't want to go out that way.....

BTW did you mix-up which alt you were on?

Only months after Ottawa greenlit one of the world’s most liberal euthanasia regimes, a series of controversial state-sanctioned deaths have attracted growing international criticism that the Canadian health system now seems to be actively killing its disabled patients.

This week, a feature by the Associated Press quoted secretly recorded audio from a London, Ont. hospital that appeared to show a medical ethicist raising the subject of euthanasia with a disabled patient, Roger Foley, after reminding him that he was costing the system “north of $1,500 a day.”

And this is all happening within the context of a worsening health case crisis in which basic primary care is denied to millions of Canadians, and wait times are among the longest in the developed world.

“Why is Canada euthanizing the poor?” read an April story in the U.K.’s The Spectator. “Your new law will provide, not prevent, suicide for some psychiatric patients,” read a detailed analysis of the Canadian bill by Mark Komrad, a psychiatrist at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore.

Canada needs a law like this. As the nation descends into a multiculti liberal cesspool, more and more people wil want to off themselves, especially the disillusioned liberals with their cry of ' I didn't know it would be like this'.

So your position is that you're cool with it as long as your political opposition are the targets

You're a real winner ...truly.

*chuckles* besides you being stuck on stupid, the premises being promoted by you ( and your chosen links ) is "euthanizing the poor". Sorry you can be rich, you can be poor, you can be ultra rich or begging on the street. The law in Canada is there for all to access financial status is irrelevant.

I'll bet you don't even know, suicide is legal in Canada. The problem is, assisting a person's suicide is a crime. That is why the MIAD act was passed by Parliament. To decriminalise the Doctors helping the patients.

So as I said before, I truly hope you have the unfortunate luck to develop one of these terrible terminal maladies....perhaps then you'd book a trip here eh? To end your worthless life eh?

MIAD? It's MAiD (medical assistance in dying). Is there anything else I can help you with? Going forward, I suggest you think before you post. For your reading pleasure...

Canada’s medical assistance in dying (MAiD) law is the most permissive euthanasia and assisted-suicide legislation in the world. The United Nations special rapporteur on the rights of persons with disabilities, the UN independent expert on the enjoyment of all human rights by older persons, and the UN special rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights have all warned our Canadian government that our MAiD law will lead to human rights violations.

Here are some recent examples of MAiD abuses under the current law, based on information provided by doctors, a patient and family members:

Lol, The Montreal Canadiens are still top dog with 24 Stanley Cup victories in franchise history. They also hold the record for most Stanley Cup appearances with 35. If I'm not mistaken the Blackhawks have made it to the finals 13 times and won the Cup 6 times.
Btw, good luck with Mrazek as your starting goalie, he's an awesome benchwarmer.

Also Canada still accounts for 43 Stanley Cup wins since 1927. American teams account for 54 Cup victories in that same time span. Considering that U.S-based franchises outnumber Canadian ones 23 to 9, that math still bodes well for Canada.

Did you miss me, SugarCounselorDaddy706?

 

[Fuzzy1975]

Mentally ill Canadians can have suicide assistance. Mentally ill Americans can take guns to schools and crowded events.

Actually mentally ill Canadians cannot have a MAID, unless a whole array of legal proofs are successfully completed.

But yes the US can have a lot of mass shootings, which is total unrelated to the MAID thread going on here.

Thanks for adding your stupidity to the conversation!!
