Canada — It Is Cheaper to Kill The Poor, Than to Treat Their Illnesses

And they won't help them live, but dying is free. (Do you know how expensive health care can be?) Why is Canada euthanising the poor? | The Spectator

It started small. Terminal illness, where the end is foreseeable and close. That changed.

It only took five years for the proverbial slope to come into view, when the Canadian parliament enacted Bill C-7, a sweeping euthanasia law which repealed the ‘reasonably foreseeable’ requirement – and the requirement that the condition should be ‘terminal’. Now, as long as someone is suffering from an illness or disability which ‘cannot be relieved under conditions that you consider acceptable’, they can take advantage of what is now known euphemistically as ‘medical assistance in dying’ (MAID for short) for free.

Now apparently doctors and administrators are pushing people to die. Threatening them with bankruptcy. And leaving them to live in horrible conditions.

A man with a neurodegenerative disease testified to Parliament that nurses and a medical ethicist at a hospital tried to coerce him into killing himself by threatening to bankrupt him with extra costs or by kicking him out of the hospital, and by withholding water from him for 20 days. Virtually every disability rights group in the country opposed the new law. To no effect: for once, the government found it convenient to ignore these otherwise impeccably progressive groups.

Life stopped being sacred to these people a long way back.

Under the present government, disabled Canadians got $600 in additional financial assistance during Covid; university students got $5,000.

Priorities.

There is more. It isn't good. And there are changes coming to Canada's law. They just don't appear to be for the better. (Hat tip to EBL.)
