A lot of the people feigning disgust at people in #LegislatedPoverty accessing #MAID have never opened their mouth to advocate for better support

If you think this is the responsibility of one party you really haven't been paying attention
Don't ever thank these people for the crumbs of attention they give MAID

Don't praise politicians for giving you scraps
Critique until you get results

and then keep critiquing

The people being starved to death aren't impressed by a 50 or 100 dollar raise here or there and if you "speak for them" you sell them out when you celebrate being handed scraps
Don't take their word for it

There is no winning

It's not appropriate to celebrate, ever

Apply pressure
I was taught by those who fought for women's votes

Ignore the interview questions; ignore the small victories

If they ever give you a platform say what you came there to say and don't blunt it

This is the grind; there will be no reward other than pride, pride you fought for

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
thestar.com/politics/provi…
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
You either believe he is unfit for office and bypassed parliamentary procedure without understanding his actions

or

You believe #MAID should used as a "cure" for suicidal ideations(at least for Disabled/Mad people)

@DWDCanada which one is it?

You are not to discuss the undesirables in public, never to speak to them as humans

We only discuss them in the abstract, as a burden to those "moving on" from #SARSCoV2
#Eugenics
When researchers said #SARSCoV2 infects primarily disabled, racialized peoples the establishment started talking about protecting "the economy"

An economy without the people who would be most protected by infection control measures

Racially-motivated, Ableist #Eugenics

One of the really depressing things about #MAID is that media only considers centering Disabled people in the process of applying

As long as Disabled perspectives only matter as part of a bludgeon against political opponents we will not know truth in media about this issue
As long as we ignore the mass disabling event and call obviously covid-related deaths/sickness "mysterious" flus and "strange" excess death

We are erasing Disability from public view
In the age of pandemic eugenics, everyone must hide disability or order to avoid upsetting the eugenicists who insist that we cater to abled, white, hetero people and structure our entire society around redirecting resources towards their success and future

"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

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?
