I understand the desire for the right to die in cases where you have a terminal condition or where the aging process is to the point that life is no longer living. However, it is becoming clear that the Canadian medical system is starting to pressure people into choosing suicide when they really don't want it, for cost savings reason.
Assisted suicide, like just about every other issue I can think of, is a legitimate issue that gets manipulated by politicians and others who are clearly anti-libertarian.
I do not trudst anyone in any position of authority who is not libertarian.
That's exactly it.
In 2021, Canada had around 303,000 total deaths, and 10,700 of them were from the MAID program [Medical Assistance In Dying].
Our "free" taxpayer-funded socialized medical system is clearly overwhelmed, yet our politicians won't/can't talk about it.
Blaming Covid was just a red herring. If anything, Covid alleviated burden on the Canadian healthcare system because people who needed to go to the Emergency Room for heart attacks and other acute medical issues would stay home because they were scared of catching Covid at the hospital.
All Canadian hospitals were empty during the pandemic. I first saw a video of someone filming an empty hospital, then went to peek into my hospital's completely empty ER [normally, there is a six hour wait].
Later, the hospital put curtains on that ER, because people were filming it being empty, and circulating the videos online.
During all that time, politicians were lying through their teeth about hospitals being overwhelmed. Utter BALDERDASH.
On top of that, hospitals were receiving $10,000+ in federal transfer payments from taxpayers for each fake Covid case they declared.
Covid did nothing to overwhelm our hospitals. They have been increasingly overwhelmed in Canada since 1998, and are now on the verge of collapse.
Canadian politicians are full of shit - just like when American politicians say "White Supremacist" groups are the biggest threat to democracy.
I wish the lies would stop, but it seems like the politicians not only won't speak the truth, but actually can't speak it, for whatever reasons.
