and note how Canadian #MAID provider organization CAMAP/ACEPA contributes to this by suggesting how to speed up MAID when patient is not remotely approaching their death

remarkable for a physician to just brush aside the tragedy of 28y woman w autism not remotely close to her death being potentially brought to suicide by institutional promotion of physician ending of life, while parents try to save her...

Roger Foley, a Canadian man with disabilities, says he's been offered euthanasia "multiple times."
Listen to him speak out against being devalued as he fights for the support he needs to live.

Minister, @cafreeland FYI, Wed. the 10th is commonly considered the best day to make an announcement about the full funding of the Canada Disability Benefit. which would be in line with other funding announced in advance of the 2024 budget. Just wanted to throw that out there.

"Despite all the articles and arguments about MAiD, public debate seems to avoid the core assumptions at the centre of the issue. MAiD discussions rest on a particular vision of what it means to be human." macdonaldlaurier.ca/more-tha…

I wrote an opinion piece arguing that even if those who don't know anything about disability possess sufficient information about the state & how it operates to oppose MAiD.

"To trust the state to operate a service that kills people including disabled people who are not dying, all you have to do is believe, in spite of an abundance of evidence to the contrary that an error-proof and abuse-proof government program is possible."

“Cdn law is unique. It gives doctors almost free reign on what to do if someone has a diagnosis and they’re miserable with it," "Then you marry it to a very-well organized delivery system . It gives the medical system and sociopolitical system an out when you abandon people.”

No province and the majority of Canadians have ever wanted or asked for this, get it off the books forever. The time and resources wasted, and anguish caused by the pro-MAiD lobbyists/parliamentarians is staggering. They should be held accountable.

The next dystopian step of governmental control of information re #MAID #euthanasia: cut funding to those defending disability rights…
19 Jan 2024
An "advocacy" group in Vancouver is calling for the government to stop funding organizations that disagree with euthanizing persons with disabilities/mental illness, who are not at end of life. This sh*&t, is surreal, where do they come from?

Euthanasia flattens our understanding of quality of life. Life always has quality. The opportunity to show tenderness, the ability to accompany our loved ones, and the occasion to practice courage in face of illness and suffering nurture our humanity.

"Intensive, compassionate caring — not MAID — is most effective way to address [mental illness]."
"It’s time to put the brakes on [MAiD] in Canada for those whose sole underlying medical condition is mental illness."

This is what’s wrong. #MAID itself isn’t the problem, it’s that you can access it so much faster easier than medical care that is the problem. There needs to be REAL safeguards in place in the form of a fast track to the MIA medical care that is driving this level of desperation.

Majority of Indigenous Peoples have told the government/pro-MAID expansionists, that euthanizing community members with disabilities/mental illness who want support to live, not to die, is neither culturally safe nor trauma-informed. It never will be, so please, write that down.
