I'm an MD who performs medical assistance in death #MAiD in Canada. I have strong concerns. If we don’t cover basic necessities in our health and social care systems, we shouldn't be offering death as an alternative. @CanadianPM @theJagmeetSingh @JusticeCanadaEN @MinJusticeEn 1/6 Track 2 #MAiD patients, those without a life-limiting illness but with subjective suffering they feel is overwhelming. Much of their suffering is due to a lack of social care – affordable, accessible housing. Adequate disability income. Medications and ancillary care covered. 2/6

On National Indigenous day, I respect this decision and the message of the mayor here: instagram.com/tv/CQT0AZsAqEC… My family, including Indigenous members, live in St Albert, where history is complicated where it comes to TRC. 1/8 At least 6,000 students died at the St Albert residential "schools" from disease, weather, starvation, violence and neglect, and were often buried in unmarked graves. Graves dug by their fellow students. The triggering Youville name remains in Sr care. 2/8 edmontonjournal.com/opinion/column…

However, stricter sanctions, higher fines and penalties for violators did not impact adherence." AB chose the former 2/31

I was asked by AMA @Albertadoctors and the @AB_leg to keep offline about our tentative MD agreement vote for the last weeks and so I have. But I want to be clear now about why I voted against it. It was absolutely not a financial decision. 1/7 My biggest fear was optics that would have looked in alignment with a mandate towards privatizing health services. These corporations (Telus, Amazon) may not even be AB-based docs but take from our health budget needed to serve Albertans and ensure sustainable medical homes. 2/7
