Hey Canadian media, how about you at least try to pretend you have some professional ethics. Loudly promoting and broadcasting a famous person's suicide plan is a source of contagion. The fact they have a physician's "assistance" definitely does not make it less so.

It's quite sad that a children's book author has decided to pollute his legacy with such harmful words. People with cognitive & memory impairments are not "lumps." Guess he really meant - 'Love you forever - unless disabled'

She won! We win at the European Court of Human Rights. This week the ECHR slammed France for failing to properly prosecute violence against a woman. Her abuser claimed she consented to violence. We gave evidence on the reality of these consent claims. ECHR summary below.…

“Let’s be very very clear,” Kim Leadbeater told the House of Commons on November 29 last year. “The model that is being proposed here…is nothing like what happens in Canada.” Here are fifteen important ways in which the Leadbeater bill resembles Canada’s disastrous model:

I wish this was a surprise to me. There's nothing "potential" about it. "Framing ... dependency as evidence of an irreversible decline in capability potentially risks introducing an ableist perspective" canadianaffairs.news/2025/08/27/ont…

Jane, a 29-year-old woman with anorexia “in the midst of a mental health crisis”, was deemed by her physicians of being “no longer competent to consent to medical treatments.” So how did she legally receive assisted suicide medication in Colorado?

This is a really excellent piece on the escalating use of MAiD in Canada. There are so many important lessons here for us in the UK. Brief thread follows, but do read the piece.

📉 WAGE Canada's budget is set to drop by 80% by 2027-28. This would roll back decades of hard-fought progress for women’s rights in Canada. Cuts this deep threaten the survival of women's rights organizations. We cannot stay silent. #StopTheCuts #WAGECanada #WomensRights

Maintaining that you are human & worthy of life when the system which has the means to help you instead abandons you is incredibly difficult. The fight is more than exhausting. It gouges into your soul, shreds your sense of self. Of course it's a driver of suicide, including MAiD

@aliciaduncan_xo So when the Director of Oversight of MAID is also being platformed by the movement pushing for expansion, we have a serious conflict of interest.

“When mental illness is repeatedly framed in the context of suffering, the framing effect could serve to reinforce notions that life with severe mental illness is not worth living,” the report says.

4.9% of the approvals reviewed had errors dealing with the criteria, not to mention all the other mistakes. But we need to tolerate potentially criminal deaths lest we discourage providers from offering death.

This determination, and the conclusion that a woman is not credible because she understated her weight, are so far the most ridiculous things I've heard today.But I haven't seen the reasons yet.
