#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
Jocelyn

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?
Do you seek knowledge?

Or do you seek comfort?

Choose one: this is an uncomfortable discussion from any perspective
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

"The most comprehensive survey of psychiatrists on the topic to date showed most psychiatrists who responded oppose euthanasia for sole mental illness"

"However, many(psychiatrists) are also reluctant to speak out since they fear potential backlash ... "

"Remember that the public has been told MAiD is supposed to be for “irremediable” medical conditions (i.e. when we can predict the condition will not improve). In terms of science and evidence, it is clear that there is no science or evidence that mental illness can be predicted"

You mean to tell us you are responsible for thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of deaths?

You mean to tell us that you lied about masking and isolation? That you gaslighted honest concerns and fueled infection advocacy?
Oh what's that?

You still won't make voting accessible?

If you wanted to wait for the election now you have the worst of both worlds; pissed everyone off both infection advocates and everyone who wasn't gaslighted into giving up
Are you saying that vaccinations aren't enough to control the spread of covid?

You mean to tell me we've just given it 2 years and millions of infections to evolve into something we are less able to control?

Who could have possibly seen this coming?

This is a proposition to offer to #MAID people who have been detained in prison/ after 6 months

This is not autonomy; this is a potential pipeline from suicidal ideation/criminal activity to death
#CdnPoli #CriminalJustice

Proposed "Mental Health" Pipeline
1: You struggle with ideations
2: You attempt and are detained against your will
3: After 6 months of isolation from society in custody you are offered a "mercy death"

Does that sound like autonomy?
cw // death , prison

Proposed "Criminal Justice" Pipeline
1: Commit a crime that leads to more than 6 months imprisonment
2: Offered access to a "mercy death" if you consent

What differences does this proposed "solution" have from the death penalty? What similarities?

This was the reasoning behind fast-tracking the #MAID legislation #BillC7(bypassing the regular process of appeal)

@DavidLametti why you appeal to process when it comes to raising support amounts, but appeal to emotion on this

How much longer do they have to suffer?

This is the result of #MAID expansions on our collective morality and ethics

Eric's right that if you support the current MAID regime that it's logically consistent to support at least some infanticide for #Eugenics
"Less suffering overall" is legitimately the stated goal of Eugenics through the manipulation of reproduction

It's goals aren't mean or cruel specifically they appeal to a sense of empathy and compassion like eric does

What did Carter and Truchon cases actually identify as concerns with expanding #MAID access to those "suffering with mental illness"

Will you listen to one side of this debate without knowing the history? Here's some quotes from the cases "supporting expanding MAID"
#CdnPoli
Reminder: The mental illness clause was added in the supreme court

The people who added this to the legislation aren't elected and are not directly accountable to the electorate
Jocelyn here is invested in the #MAID regime, a sunken cost

I'm not sure whether they support access for mental illness

I don't expect them to raise concerns about it if they have some privately held beliefs against some access; they have a sunken cost in supporting #MAID
