My mum wasn’t terminally ill – she needed help… We had 48 hours to stop Canada’s assisted-dying system but failed and days later she was given a lethal injection

Sisters Alicia and Christie Duncan were originally only granted 48 hours notice that their mother was going to be euthanised.

It was Sunday, October 24, 2021, when 61-year-old Donna confessed to her family that she had been approved for Canada’s assisted-dying programme, officially known as Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD).

Her death was scheduled for the following Tuesday – expedited due to her having qualified for Canada’s streamlined ‘Track 1’ pathway, reserved for individuals whose natural death is reasonably foreseeable.

Ottawa’s MAID Plan Undermines Suicide Prevention

Ottawa’s MAID Plan Undermines Suicide Prevention

Canada’s 9-8-8 suicide prevention helpline has received more than 1 million calls and text messages since its launch in late 2023. That averages out to more than 300,000 per year.

Yet under current law, Canada is set to expand euthanasia, or medical assistance in dying (MAID), to people with mental illness as their sole underlying condition beginning March 17, 2027. If that expansion happens, some will be deemed worthy of suicide assistance while others will receive suicide prevention.

Anti-trans activist reveals FBI is investigating threats to her life in the wake of WNBA storm… as she fiercely defends ‘hill I’m willing to die on’

Anti-trans activist reveals FBI is investigating threats to her life in the wake of WNBA storm… as she fiercely defends ‘hill I’m willing to die on’

Pro-women’s sports campaigner Jennifer Sey claims the FBI is investigating threats to her and her employees’ lives.

Sey is a retired gymnast and author who founded XX-XY Athletics, an apparel brand whose ‘mission is to empower female athletes and take a stand for fair competition.’ The company claims to be ‘for everyone who believes in the transformative power of sport and the need for safety and fairness.’

XX-XY’s stance has put Sey at the forefront of the fight over the inclusion of transgender athletes in women’s sports, which has engulfed the WNBA in particular in recent months.

GUNTER: Trade war booze ban could backfire on Canada

GUNTER: Trade war booze ban could backfire on Canada

As satisfying as it is to be “Elbows Up” against U.S. President Donald Trump in the current Canada-U.S. trade war, it might be a tad counterproductive.

As I have written before, it might be more effective to break our dependence on trade with America by building pipelines west and east to get our oil and natural gas to European and Asian markets. It would also be a tremendous boost if provinces reduced internal barriers to trade.

What Happens When We Elect People Who Hate America to Congress? This.

Yeah, elections sure do have consequences. Given the moribund state of the Republican Party in New York City, two socialists, Darializa Avila-Chevalier and Claire Valdez, are virtually certain to enter the House of Representatives next January, and they’re already excitedly making plans for the damage they’re going to do to the nation’s largest city, and the nation as a whole, once they get there.

Germany‘s Sovereigntist AfD Triples Vote in Lower Saxony Election

Germany‘s Sovereigntist AfD Triples Vote in Lower Saxony Election

The regional leader of the pro-border-control AfD party said his faction was “the clear winner of the evening” after the legacy centrist-globalist Christian Conservatives and Social Democrats recorded their worst results ever in Lower Saxony.

Provisional results show support for the sovereigntist, Eurosceptic, border-control Alternative for Germany (AfD) tripled in Sunday’s Lower Saxony elections to select hundreds of directly-elected mayors and other representatives.

$5.5M daycare built with provincial funds now derelict, scavenged by thieves and damaged by flooding

$5.5M daycare built with provincial funds now derelict, scavenged by thieves and damaged by flooding

A $5.5-million Winnipeg-area daycare built two years ago with provincial funds sits vacant, derelict and surrounded by weeds after being plundered by scavengers and damaged by flooding.

The non-profit group hoping to operate the daycare and an advocate for not-for-profit daycares are now pleading with the province to open the East St. Paul facility, which has yet to care for a single child.

The 74-space daycare was built in 2024 on behalf of the Peguis First Nation Real Estate Trust. It was one of 22 daycares built in Manitoba as part of a project started by the former Progressive Conservative government along with JohnQ Public, a company owned by 11 Manitoba municipalities.

Costco Starts Rationing Motor Oil. Could Walmart Be Next?

Costco Starts Rationing Motor Oil. Could Walmart Be Next?

Costco has reportedly started rationing its house brand of motor oil this week, limiting purchases to two boxes per week, as drivers across the country continue facing higher gas and diesel prices.

The membership-only warehouse club, which has long prided itself in selling products at discounted prices in bulk, has introduced the purchase limit after significantly raising the price of Kirkland Signature full synthetic motor oil, The Auto Wire first reported.

I wonder if Zelensky will heed Trump’s advice or face the consequences assuming any exist.

Canada taking control of its future, Mark Carney tells new investment gathering

Canada taking control of its future, Mark Carney tells new investment gathering

Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada is “taking control” of its future as his inaugural Investment Summit kicks off in Toronto this week amid renewed trade tensions with the U.S.

Addressing a room of business and government leaders Sunday night during the summit’s welcome reception, the prime minister also hinted at deals that could be announced in the coming days.

“Tomorrow, something remarkable will happen,” Carney said. “The world is looking at Canada differently. And I suggest we should look at ourselves differently too,” he added.

Cuban dance teacher ordered EU sabotage attacks from Russia

Cuban dance teacher ordered EU sabotage attacks from Russia

On social media platforms, the man called himself “Adrian” or “Dios,” meaning “God” in Spanish. In 2024, accounts linked to the man posted job ads on Telegram. “Work as a photographer,” one offered in Russian in a chat about opportunities in Poland. “To those interested in applying, send resume, phone number and passport,” another advertised in a group for Cuban expatriates in Russia. “Looking for people with military experience in monitoring, intelligence, logistics and tactical maneuvers,” one said in Spanish in a group for Latinos, promising $1,500 (about €1,300) plus a bonus for each operation completed.

Canada and the EU is an alliance of weakness that will cost Carney

It will be a “comprehensive partnership” covering trade, security and diplomacy.

Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commission’s president, is expected to announce a new deal with Canada in her state of the union address next week.

Before long, she will be shaking hands with Mark Carney, the Canadian prime minister, and the Ode to Joy may be ringing out across Ottawa.

But this may not be the miracle agreement it’s cracked up to be.

Russia Is Churning Out Smart, Cheap New Weapons Faster Than Ukraine or the U.S.

Russia Is Churning Out Smart, Cheap New Weapons Faster Than Ukraine or the U.S.

Just as Ukraine was learning how to parry Russia’s drone attacks, Moscow has moved the goal posts with a new generation of innovative jet-powered weapons.

New Geran drones and Banderol cruise missiles are lethal reminders that Russia still has the resources and supply chains to field fresh threats, this time packed with advanced electronics that allow them to find targets accurately and evade interception. Crucially, the leap forward was enabled in large part by components sourced from China, in violation of international sanctions, say Ukraine and others, based in part on wreckage from the few shot down so far.

China has said it regulates exports of technologies that could be used in war.
