The country gave its citizens the right to die. Doctors are struggling to keep up with demand.

Good point.
Banning people from going for a walk in the woods because it may lead to them starting a fire is like banning alcohol consumption because it may lead to people drinking and driving. If you’re going to take the former position, take the logic to its natural conclusion please.

Loving children means not letting them make irreversible decisions before they reach the age of responsibility. Thankfully, removing a sign will not slow down the worldwide progress towards protecting minors from these harmful "treatments". #letkidsbe.#lovenothate
#HamOnt Please see the following statement from Mayor Horwath regarding unacceptable content on a billboard near the Lincoln M. Alexander Parkway. “This afternoon, my office was made aware of a transphobic ad on a billboard along the Linc. While the billboard is not City-owned,

Thanks for this.
As a gay man living in Canada, I can honestly say that I’m not concerned about @seanfeucht…. I don’t care that he’s a Christian. I don’t care that he’s straight. I don’t care that he’s white. I don’t care that he has a beautiful family. I don’t care that he has traditional.

An opportunity for the @JohnRustad4BC and the B.C. Conservatives to pressure the gov’t into addressing the need for greater oversight and stringent safeguards.

A necessary piece of legislation. #carenotkill.
I had the pleasure of speaking at a press conference this morning alongside MP Tamara Jansen on her private member’s bill C-218, the Right to Recover Act. I was proud to co-sponsor this bill, which will stop the coming expansion of assisted dying to people with mental illness.

Fantastic news from Ottawa today! Thanks to MP Tamara Jansen for introducing this bill, that if passed, will protect persons with mental illness. There is always hope and when people feel undervalued they need suicide prevention, not assistance. #carenotkill

😢.
BREAKING: UK Parliament has voted to legalise the murder of the elderly and disabled through euthanasia. One of our country’s darkest days. You can legally oblige me to participate or refer all you wish. I would sooner rot in jail than help to kill my patients. RESIST.

Canada's treatment of people with disabilities continues to draw strong reaction from the international community. It's time to take action. #carenotkill.#protectvulnerablepersons.#cdnpoli.
In this story, I highlight how international experts see Canada’s euthanasia laws as a pressing threat to the fundamental rights of people with disabilities. The Liberals’ failure to take this seriously is already impacting our international reputation.
