A little maid's tale
#maid #nsfwtwt #obedience #service
You can't complain about your life. Literally. There's a limiter chip in your mind that prevents you from voicing any form of complaint. You're just a maid, after all.

You can't complain about your life. Literally. There's a limiter chip in your mind that prevents you from voicing any form of complaint. You're just a maid, after all.
Maids complete their duties without fuss, no matter what is done to them. No matter what is demanded. No matter what unpleasant punishments they must endure.
You used to want to complain, you think anyway. It all feels so foggy now. Another little implant took care of that. For every command you follow, and every task you complete, you feel a sense of deep fulfilment.
#cdnpoli @PierrePoilivere is the 4th lame duck CPC leader in 7 years with nothing to quack but a "secret" plan to sell us down the river like Harper did. He cannot expand on CPC's "hopeful" polices and how they would better benefit Canadian's health as they can't be found. 
On February 2, 2023, the Government of Canada introduced legislation to extend the temporary exclusion of eligibility in circumstances where a person's sole underlying medical condition is a mental illness for a period of one-year, until March 17, 2024. justice.gc.ca/eng/cj-jp/ad-aā¦

The government of Canada loves to lie when they advertise death to disabled people. #MAID
Advertising MAID publically when it is known to be both discriminatory & coercive sets off alarms, but the omissions in it need to be called out.

the main issues that they themselves ignore.
"Intolerable suffering": Is it the disability itself, or the place the system forced them into because of their disability? Doesn't matter! All they have to be is disabled, and intolerably suffering because they have a disability.

"Treatment opinions that are available to them": there are no treatment options available to those in legislated poverty who can't afford it, or for those waiting indefinitely on waiting lists. No options are available for the most vulnerable right now; period.

A major part of the stories of #iamthefaceofMAID is that some health conditions are NOT recognized and/or treated in Canada (like MCS and hEDS). BUT!!! They are recognized by #MAID. This is THE disconnect Canada! This is why we need to talk about #IamthefaceofMAID 1/n
If #MAID will recognize conditions, like #MCS and #hEDS, and there are not even specialists in Canada that treat those conditions. Well, we have a problem.
2/n
2/n
The #hEDS community struggles every day, thousands of us, for treatment that we know is available but it is not offered in Canada. Often we travel to the US for diagnosis because there are so few specialists in Canada. The surgeries needed are not offered in Canada. 3/n
Suddenly becoming the face of #MAID to this level is honeslty just kind of part of this never ending nightmare. Iām so tempted to lock my account. But until I get a GI doctor or find someone that can really help me, unless I really canāt take one more day, I have to keep going.
I have so much more to say about healthcare and illness and disability and #MAID, but right now, I just need to get through this. Will post more if I can, but if I disappear itās (hopefully) to rest and survive the hospital and testing, and whatever is next.
If there is a compassionate GI doctor who can really try and help in Vancouver, please DM me or my spouse @brunodbo. I know doctors are not gods but I need a hero right now, someone with a can-do attitude. And pain mgmt/palliative asap to survive in the meantime.
I am the face of #MAID (assisted-death) in Canada.
As a 42 year old woman with a rare complication of lupus + iatrogenic injuries I will only cost the 'system'. I want to live but canāt get the care I need + have been approved for MAID.

This was me a year and a half ago right before my health was devastated by medical negligence and malpractice, in the form of a catastrophically damaging hospitalisation, misprescribed unnecessary high prolonged doses of prednisone, and a bad reaction to Rituximab infusions.
Iāve been begging for care especially with my GI symptoms which are slowly killing me, my specialists have mostly abandoned me, and my medical decline is being attributed to āpsychological distressā and my illness (which is absolute BS, it had improved on IVIG).
I donāt know where to begin to explain where Iāve been for the last year + a half. Iāve been approved for #MAID after a nightmare of medical malpractice/negligence + severe medication/iatrogenic injuries. I donāt want to die, but canāt live like this or get adequate medical care.
Spring 2020 I had Covid and was in year 3 of chronic aseptic meningitis from my biweekly IVIG infusions, for which I was taking what I know now to be toxic doses of antihistamines and a lot of hydrocortisone (a steroid) to barely tolerate it, the only treatment available to meā¦
For my autoimmune small fibre neuropathy (which was later confirmed to be a complication of Sjogrenās + Lupus), which caused severe autonomic neuropathy that was shutting down my digestive system, making me faint, have bladder issues, severe weakness, and many other problems.
I just need to again remind everyone 'on our side' who is making this arbitrary distinctions of which crips they are ok with killing, that I fit the 2016 definition of my end of life being reasonably foreseeable (according to doctors) in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2015...

I know what matters more to you is appearing "reasonable" and not being accused of being 'radical' but if you write or speak as if 'terminal' is a magic science word of certainty I know we aren't actually on the same side.
There are some conditions they have more accuracy predicting prognosis of but the law - and your articles and tweets - don't make distinction of which conditions. And reasonably foreseeable is deliberately confusing but terminal is also subject to different definitions as well.
#MAID #AssistedDying The Canadian Government is postponing a change in the law relating to this very controversial topic. The @rcpsych psychiatrists are making a fuss. The pseudoscience should be immediately denounced as such & those professing and/or practicing it investigated.
The #pseudoscience of psychiatry has done great damage to humanity across the world. The practitioners should be assumed guilty, rather than innocent, and investigated for crimes against humanity.
All @Psychiatry is bogus cant, starting with Freud the serial abuser of gentlewomen in Vienna and London. The couchš§ā¹ļøš½š. Some mean good, but in my experience all do bad, whatever the motives. Much of their motivation is sick, devious, and evil.

We also hear Minister Lametti reassure us āthere are few complaints, so the system works wellā and he passes the buck to the regulatory colleges & police, which so far refuse to investigate... All is well & dead people donāt complain...

The problem with MAiD is not just about poverty and if you don't understand that you keep spreading that you are playing into the Liberal Party of Canada's hands - why tf do you think they have this national benefits long drawn out dog and pony mystery show going on?
Also, I have crips in my DMs who have housing and have sufficient income.
But they are hit by ableism in different ways.
I know you want to make this all about things you ableds can relate to - or that are your situation if you're disabled. But it's wrong.

Analysis is not a laundry list.
Do you all think affirmative action solved racism?
Do you not understand why racialized people fear police regardless of their class?
OK, so if you do, then try to think bigger with ableism.

There's 2 possible positions on Minister Lametti's comments encouraging the use of #MAID for suicide
He doesn't understand #MAID (in which case his tabling of #BillC7 is in serious question)
or
#MAID is a valid response to suicidal ideation sometimes

You can't both suggest that Minister Lametti understands #MAID and also that isn't a valid response to suicidal ideation (at least under "certain conditions")
He's the one who tabled the amendments we are discussing

Sign of growing discomfort with media exposure of serious problems w Canada's #MAID law/practice: @picardonhealth, MAID expansionist day 1, goes on all-out editorial defence MAID & government approach, with frankly extraordinary denial of any potential problem... 1/
2/ Some examples 1: Expert Panel on MAID Mental Illness, widely criticized for failing to impose any additional safeguards #mentalhealth (contrary to B & Nl, other liberal regimes), had 2 members resign in protest-- Picard: panel made ā19 thoughtful recommendationsā
3/ e.g. 2: Gov strongly criticized for not appealing lower court Quebec decision and caving in without defense of law broadly supported by parliamentāPicard: law was āpredictably struck down by courtā
A lot of the people feigning disgust at people in #LegislatedPoverty accessing #MAID have never opened their mouth to advocate for better support

We're a bit cynical about the objective of protecting people with disabilities under a law which provides MAiD on the basis of disability to people who are not otherwise dying.
Dr. Heidi Janz is presenting using text to speech.
"My hope is that you, as Canada's policymakers, will finally recognize that Canada's current MAiD regime is in fact eugenics disguised as autonomy and take bold and courageous action to stop the injustice."

Two remarkable admissions David Lametti re #MAID: 1."suicide generally is available to people. 2. [MAID helps people] who, for physical reasons and possibly mental reasons, canāt make that choice themselves & do it themselves" @althiaraj @TorontoStar thestar.com/politics/politā¦
2/ Let that sink it: fed justice minister recognizes that choice is always there. BUT: government wants to facilitate suicide of those who would otherwise be saved by the fact that, fortunately, they often doubt and there is often a barrier to end one's own life...
3/ if this isn't a glorification and problematic simplification of suicide and MAID as a terrific & much needed solution to 'intolerable suffering' of disabled persons, incl persons w mental illness, which needs to be facilitated by the state, what is?
