It angers me the Conservatives are using the MAID expansion (ability for those solely with mental health issues to use it by 2023) to boost their campaign.
CPC are against it due to religious motives against MAID as a whole, not bc it's a human rights issue. 1/ #MAID #cdnpoli

An example of this would be Erin O'Toole's saying doctors should be able to turn down a suffering patient when they request MAID.
If they truely viewed MAID as a human right, they wouldn't be trying to allow it to be denied it to a suffering patient.

If the Conservatives viewed the MAID amendments as a human rights issue instead of MAID as a religious issue, they'd have plans to lessen suffering by bring disabled folx out of legislated poverty.
Reality? They only plan to help working disabled folx.

So the fact that the Conservatives are known to be against MAID (which they are trying to play off now that they believe is a human right) as a whole for religious reasons - combined with no help planned for the majority of the disabled population, it's safe to say that 4/
The Conservatives using the anti- MAID amendments in their campaign is due to the CPC's religious motives, not due to them thinking it is a human rights issue. They do not think MAID in general is a human right, & they do not want to help struggling disabled people – period. 5/5
