Health Canada released a questionnaire on MAID's next legislative expansion: advanced requests. MAID is already violating disabled rights, to expand even further now with the impact its having is a guaranteed way to continue breaching disabled rights.

The Labour Whip who objected to the Children’s Hospices (Funding) Bill voted in favour of assisted dying, specifically saying “assisted dying should not become an alternative to high-quality palliative and end of life care.” #WTF?
Olivia Lourenco, our Recreation Therapist, presented at @OttawaArtG's HeARTcare Symposium, sharing how art enhances well-being for children at RNCH. Grateful for this collaboration bringing healing through creativity! 🎨💙 #RecreationalTherapy #ArtInHealthcare
#AssistedDyingBill would create a “2 tier system where one person who’s fit and able to be productive in society can get the treatment they need but another life is disposable. “This is inherently unfair, inequitable and dark.” From Palliative care drop-in in Parliament today.
