#MAID proponents would rather default to lying to themselves than just looking into claims made
Make no mistake this lack of interest in double-checking data is entirely self-serving; a quick google backs up what Carla says here

I don't suspect Jocelyn here is misleading us on purpose
I believe their Faith in the #MAID regime gives them reasons to jump to assumptions about accessibility without looking at the data that would confirm/deny the claim

Their following claim is just as bereft of citation
Their claim to the charter is not valid, in fact the discrimination inherit of only allowing access to Disabled people to #BillC7 pointed out by the UN is more likely to be a violation of the charter

The Charter of Rights and Freedoms is only enforceable by those with the wealth and influence to fight in court
For the average Canadian the Charter's protections are inaccessible

As it stands the #MAID legislation is using semantic tricks to avoid the overt declaration of discriminatory assessment "incurable and intolerable suffering"
Not sure there's even a mechanism that would allow people coerced towards MAID to challenge it

If the Charter protects individual autonomy as is claimed by #MAID proponents, why don't we open it up to everyone who wants to die?
Why discriminate?

Are we prepared to open this up further?
What will Jocelyn say when the claim is that it's easier to access #MAID than meaningful mental health interventions? It can take years to recover from mental illness and trauma I can say from first-hand experience

Seriously
Wheelchairs are expensive, tied up in red tape
Did you think that citation here would be useless? What do you think that stating this without citation would do to an already charged discussion?
Do you think of yourself as an expert?

If you cite the Carter/ Truchon cases to justify expansion why are you ignoring the warnings within about expanding #MAID access to those struggling with mental illness
I don't like what Carla's contributions to this discussion are in general, I have been quite critical of her
That being said she's absolutely right and also in a good position to see exactly how many barriers there are in place to wheelchair access
