Following Canada’s lead. An important step forward ending these abusive and fraudulent practices. “Conversion therapy” is a form of torture and should be banned every where. www.bbc.com/news/article...

"The shock hit her hard, but the public opinion that came after stunned her. The death was covered over, not spoken about, greeted with something close to contempt. We are not necessarily kind or welcoming to those left behind by suicide."

The Most Dangerous Anti-MAiD Messaging We Have Ever Encountered! Trying to scare people away from palliative care in the moment of their greatest need is amoral on every level. This organization's scare tactics need to be denounced at the highest level. Shame on you Euthanasia Prevention Coalition!

A fifth of Leave voters have died.

genuinely concerned that if AI goes bankrupt I might shrug so hard I dislocate both shoulders

No please I really couldn’t eat another bite of this story’s metacontextual literalism. I am full to bursting, please it hurts, stop making airplane noises and menacing me with a fork

"Billions of dollars have backed AI and the immortality industry with their fiction-fueled dreams of sentient robots, space colonies, uplifted animals, and downloaded brains while science-based climate research has met resistance, deferral, and denial as the world burns." doi.org/10.17885/hei...

imagine if Adolf Eichmann was an insecure stammering imbecile

Picard is right again. There was no consensus and the final report and recommendation have no credibility.

i have a bomb

at first glance, you might laugh at the default photo for the wart wikipedia article, but within hides a surprisingly heartfelt story of love

Suraj has a point.

Got my personal details doxed on the other site by a B.C doctor who peddles in MAiD disinformation and conspiracy theories. Apparently a quick email to the CPSBC was all it took to have her shut down her entire account after years of her spreading disinformation.

And thus South Carolina begins its descent into licentiousness and anarchy scdailygazette.com/2026/06/17/s...

Mennonite waffles.

Friendly reminder to non-Indigenous folks, you have much more in common with Indigenous peoples than you do with any billionaire.

The layered story of MAiD: navigating Charter infringement, conceptual incoherence, and the path forward for people with disabilities and mental illness

Is it wrong that I don't care about rights-violating bills like Bill C-22? Maybe the rest of the country can have their rights violated for awhile

If someone chooses to live in a smaller home in the inner city in part to avoid a long commute, they generally don’t pressure society to build them a bigger house with more stuff. So if you choose a bigger stuff-filled house in the suburbs, don’t expect society to build you a fast car commute.

So now the Canadian Psychiatric Association and the Association of Psychiatrists of Quebec (representing 3700 psychiatrists) have publicly countered the arguments of 13 heads of psychiatric departments. Paging Minister Fraser... www.newswire.ca/news-release...

“Dracula? Great guy, wants to invest in the local economy and restore dilapidated buildings to their former glory. What, do you, like, just hate the aristocracy or something?”

It’s been five years since Alex Jones lost InfoWars to the Sandy Hook families. As the verdict came down, he asked: “Do these people actually believe they’re getting any money?” He hasn't paid them a penny. Well, The Onion is going pay them anyway. The new InfoWars begins July 2nd at 8 p.m. ET.

More on MAID for mental illness by yet another sensible expert www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

Millions of copyrighted songs were fed to AI music generators - now there's proof Suno and rivals are being sued for $150k per song. A sum that would bankrupt these companies and set an important precedent.

Take note: "One Nation will take away women's rights if they gain power" Pretty sure VAD rights for our terminally ill will be on their hit list too. #Auspol #news 👀👇

MP Marcus Powlowski highlights why I'm a believer that MAiD should not be exclusively within the domain of medical gatekeepers. Because people like him will use that gatekept right to deny access under the guise of "the state should have no part in this".

Table of contents changed. Now supplementary opinion in there is attributed to Powlowski. Good thing - it is an astonishingly callous opinion that I assume they didn't want to be associated with.

Happy 10 years of the government violating our Charter rights.

Thinking today about Kay Carter (through her family) & Gloria Taylor for the Supreme Court of Canada decision in Carter that gave Canada MAiD.

Happy Pre-determined Results Wednesday.

This is, of course, exactly what a bunch of people tried to point out: that the very act of holding a separatist referendum would divide the province and turn communities, and Albertans, against each other. It didn't have to be this way. #abpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Two steps forward (Carter) One step back (C-14) Two steps forward (Truchon) One step back (C-7 and C-39 and C-62) One more step back (illegitimate AMAD process stage managed by gov't) Two steps forward? (Brosseau?) Parliament = restrict rights Suffering patients via courts = protect rights

Literal LOL

In 2011 two religious groups in Switzerland brought two ballot initiative to limit and ban assisted dying. It was rejected by Switzerlands direct democracy system. It's now 2026 and tomorrow Canada will likely show cowardice and bend to the will of religious groups by delaying/banning MAiD MI-SUMC

"MAID is a modern term for an ancient desire – to have some agency at end-of-life, to minimize suffering. Those who oppose choice seem to believe suffering is a necessary part of the human condition, an unavoidable part of life and death."

And Eric Mathison has a terrific response to that headline's claim. valuejudgments.substack.com/p/how-many-a...

Don't be put off by the headline, this is a balanced piece by Sarah Ritchie www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

Oh

In 1908 the Lancet called for an 18+ age limit on reading in bed for U.K. children.

"He wanted MAID, and, by my assessment, all of the criteria had been met. But ultimately, I had to say no. That’s because John had severe and chronic mental disorder – “nothing” else. Proceeding would have been a criminal offence"

Letters to the editor: Let’s insist that government stops dithering about MAID expansion. As Mr. Picard so clearly states: “Canada is ready clinically, legally, and societally.” www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/lett... www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Texas Republicans might be the softest, weakest little man babies in the history of politics

Thank you B.C College of Physicians and Surgeons. I love that one of your anesthesiologists is attempting to dox me for the crime of reporting misconduct...

The official position of the government of the United States is explicitly and overtly white nationalist In domestic and foreign affairs. This is a change from being implicitly and covertly white nationalist.
