Why is Canada euthanising the poor?

According to the most read article in Spectator Magazine 2022, since last year, Canadian law, in all its majesty, has allowed both the rich as well as the poor to kill themselves if they are too poor to continue living with dignity. In fact, the ever-generous Canadian state will even pay for their deaths. What it will not do is spend money to allow them to live instead of killing themselves.

The law certainly lacks safeguards and no one should ever feel forced to kill themselves but on the other hand assisted suicide is a great thing. People should be able to decide when they want to die and receive support in the process.
Capitalism seems to be the problem here.

@PrincessOfHell The facts are not in your favor. The Canadian government is socialist and it has this weird fetish about killing people whether by vax or by food shortage or lack of heating or euthanasia. The Canadian government has become a death cult.

@hippyjoe1955 Sure thing old man. Keep living your delusion but I guess better to live under a death cult than in a nation under God.

hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M

@PrincessOfHell I live in Canada. I had an uncle that took the MAID way out. You on the other hand are part of a death cult so you cheer on anyone who chooses death over life.

People committing suicide hardly equates to the state euthanizing them. Turn off your hyperbole machine.

I thought that euthanasia was killing. Sorry! Maybe feeding the poor might be more moral than killing them? @RedBaron

RedBaron · M

@Mathers Or maybe let nature take its course. Unless you are willing to pay half or more of your income in taxes. Put your money where your mouth is.

Mathers · 61-69

We do. Perhaps you think disabled people should be eliminated - Hitler did@RedBaron

The Marxist Globalist Climate Change people honestly believe that they must eliminate as much of the present world's population as possible. They will send viruses, engineer famines, engineer toxic spills, culturally castrate all males and make reproduction unpopular...all in the name of the perfect Utopian Marxist world which can only exist with a smaller population.

@Stereoguy That is part of the cultural castration I mentioned. Mixed race families will soon not be allowed, because war is part of the plan...and we won't fight our own family.

Shocking, isn't it? I'd think this was an episode of "Black Mirror", but no, Canada is offering legal euthanasia for the poor as well as the terminally ill.

Fullmetal · 46-50, M

If only we could euthanize the stupid too! Mr. Trudeau, it's your turn!!

Funlov · M

@Fullmetal I’m not getting in to it but I’m from here and I no what is what so you have a fantastic day

Tastyfrzz · 61-69, M

People keep saying "the government needs to do more". The thing is... government comes with a shipping and handling fee. Everything requires mountains of legal experts, processes, insurance...and teams of experts. If you just help someone yourself all of that is eliminated. You hear that someone needs help, help them!

Mathers · 61-69

The problem is when some tells the truth you call them rude. You are obviously one of these people that you think you can say what you like to anyone else and they mustn’t reply@Funlov

@Mathers that is a very serious accusation! I hope it isn't true. If it was s, and you didn't do nothing too prevent it, then you are some what compliment in murder.

Mathers · 61-69

I couldn’t do anything. Not my country, but know it goes on in Belgium too @samueltyler2

samueltyler2 · 80-89, M

@Mathers you said you know of circumstances, that is why I said that if you did and just stood by, you are guilty. If you did not know personally, than please don't use terminology suggesting you do know directly.

I agree with assisted suicide. No one wants to spend their days perpetually sick or starving. Would you? 🤷‍♀️

The problem is that there are not safety nets. You’re defending a system where there are not safety nets. Never mind liberals will always blindly defend liberals@Ynotisay

SW-User

@Ynotisay what safety nets? Two women in Canada *did* resort to assisted suicide because they couldn't find housing that would enable them to live without being severely impeded by their allergies all the time.

The OP is saying they made that choice as a result of not getting accommodation that would help their condition...which is apparently what they said too.

Key word - poor

hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M

Allow? Canada is ENCOURAGING euthanasia. Even some woke corporations are running ads promoting it.

Tastyfrzz · 61-69, M

The article you are referring to was by Yuan Yi Zhu back in April of 2022. The answer to your question is in the piece. "Bill C-7 would create a savings of 62 million per year, particularly from those suffering chronic conditions..."

Mathers · 61-69

No that is not what I was referring to@Tastyfrzz

@maturemuff1959 You must be a leftist. Only leftists believe that the way to eliminate poverty is by eliminating poor people.

maturemuff1959 · 61-69, F

@hippyjoe1955 No I dont think so just my view on it

hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M

@maturemuff1959 Care to explain? You think that it is ok to kill poor people because they are poor or?????

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP so let’s start the new year of right and just let it be ok thanks

Tastyfrzz · 61-69, M

Snopes only discusses the tequests for assidted death from parents regarding 91 children who are experiencing profound suffering. Half of which are under one year old. That was in 2017.

Max41 · 26-30, M

Capitalism is liked in Canada , Usa , so they may like to die for it as well .

Roundandroundwego · 61-69

Because there's no value in life per se in a capitalist world.

Funlov · M

That’s not what the law here says at all your way out there

Funlov · M

Your so far off it’ just looks funny 😄

So, are you just literally incapable of telling the simple truth without twisting it?

Mathers · 61-69

As I say you are so boring and predictable and deny the truth when it’s force between your teeth@LordShadowfire

LordShadowfire · 46-50, M

@Mathers You can't claim you're telling the truth when all you've done is paraphrased something you read in a magazine you tell me is popular. Burden of proof, argumentum ad populum, and an ad hominem attack.

Mathers · 61-69

You can’t tell me that you’re telling the truth when you know nothing about it whatsoever@LordShadowfire
