Poor people with non-terminal illness more likely to be legally murdered in Ontario

Rates of medical assistance in dying for non-terminal illness in Ontario higher in poorer neighbourhoods, reports say

In one case, an Ontario man in his late 40s with debilitating ulcers was granted medical assistance in dying, despite a litany of mental disorders and previous suicide attempts.

In another, a woman in her 50s with a history of depression, anxiety and suicidality received MAID in part because she couldn’t find housing that would relieve her suffering from multiple chemical sensitivity syndrome, a rare condition in which pain, fatigue, rashes and other ailments arise from mild exposure to chemicals.

Our very own T4 Program.

I did that pic as a joke. I feel sick. Oh Oh… I’m better now!

Justin Trudeau and Pierre Poilievre are putting their parties before the country, says guy who put his pension before Canada

Justin Trudeau and Pierre Poilievre are putting their parties before the country, Jagmeet Singh says

OTTAWA—NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has accused his political rivals of putting their electoral prospects before protecting Canada’s democracy, the day after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau unveiled bombshell allegations that there are Conservatives with ties to foreign meddling.

That the prime minister dropped those revelations at a public inquiry peeling back the layers of his own Liberal government’s response to foreign interference was not lost on Singh, who said Thursday that both Trudeau and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre “have, at many times, chosen to put their party before the country.”

Former Olympic Snowboarder Wanted by F.B.I. on Murder and Drug Charges

A Canadian snowboarder who competed at the 2002 Winter Olympics is wanted by the F.B.I. on charges of conspiring to ship hundreds of kilograms of cocaine into Canada and the United States and on suspicion of orchestrating multiple murders, the U.S. attorney’s office for the Central District of California announced in a statement on Thursday.

The snowboarder, Ryan James Wedding, 43, born in Thunder Bay, Ontario, was indicted along with 15 others on charges of running a transnational drug trafficking operation that shipped bulk quantities of cocaine from California to Canada from about January to April 2024, the U.S. attorney’s office said in its statement. Mr. Wedding, a fugitive who was believed to be living in Mexico, was charged with eight felonies including one count of conspiracy to export cocaine and three counts of murder in connection with a drug crime.

Kamala Harris is losing the campaign

Kamala Harris is a money magnet. She has raised more cash – a cool US$1-billion and counting – since becoming the Democratic nominee in July than any previous presidential candidate over a similar time span. She is racking up campaign donations at twice the pace of her Republican rival, Donald Trump, and flooding swing-state airwaves with far more ads.

Since replacing President Joe Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket, Ms. Harris has received largely uncritical coverage from most of the mainstream U.S. media, which have also focused relentlessly on Mr. Trump’s lies, gaffes, insults and mental instability.

Trump Rules.

Why won’t Trudeau release classified names — and why won’t Poilievre get a security clearance?

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made waves Wednesday by turning what started as an examination of his government’s response to foreign interference into a pointed criticism of Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre.

“I’m getting a little more partisan than I tried to in this case, but it is so egregious to me that the leader of the Official Opposition, who is certainly trying very hard to become prime minister, is choosing to play partisan games with foreign interference,” Trudeau told the public inquiry into foreign interference on Wednesday.

Federal office mandate burdening Ottawa doctors as public servants seek medical notes

Family doctors in Ottawa are seeing an influx of public servants looking for medical notes to support work-from-home requests, putting added strain on an already overburdened health-care system.

Dr. Roozbeh Matin, who practises in Barrhaven, said he’s been noticing the trend for months, ever since the federal government announced plans to mandate public servants to work from the office more often.

“This is a systemic problem that all of us physicians in the Ottawa area are noticing,” he said. “We have been basically inundated with requests from our civil servant patients requesting various sorts of accommodation.”

What’s Wrong With Canada?

The country’s recent actions are anything but neighborly.

Canada, our neighbor to the north as it is sometimes called, evokes mainly pastoral and benign images: vast timber, mineral, and other oil and gas resources; the mighty Canadian National Railway featured in one of Gordon Lightfoot’s ballads; the splendor of the Banff resort and the glacial Lake Louise; famous hockey teams taking slap shots from the blue line; Sergeant Preston of the Yukon and his Alaskan Malamute named Yukon King; U.S. and Canadian military personnel working seamlessly for North American air defense; and a quasi-European and liberal socialist culture, with a hint of smugness.

But is Canada really all that neighborly?

Billions of Litres of Canadian Milk Were Dumped in Past 12 Years, Study Suggests

More than six billion litres of milk has been discarded on Canadian dairy farms since 2012, according to a newly released study.

“Systemic inefficiencies” in Canada’s supply management system have led to between 6.8 billion and 10 billion litres of milk being dumped out over the past 12 years, says the study published in the journal Ecological Economics. Valued at as much as $14.9 billion, the dumped milk accounts for roughly 7 percent of milk produced on dairy farms during that time period.

The Canada-India row has its roots in the Liberals’ diaspora politics

In 1989, when reports surfaced that Ottawa had expelled Indian diplomats for spying, then foreign affairs minister Joe Clark did not hold a press conference to lecture the Indian government or express righteous indignation at its alleged Vienna Convention violations.

Instead, Mr. Clark rose in the House of Commons to respond to charges from the Liberal immigration critic Sergio Marchi that India’s government had engaged in “elaborate and covert operations … to discredit and destabilize the Canadian Sikh community” and manipulate Canadian officials. India had grown frustrated with Canada’s coddling of Sikh separatists and the RCMP’s botched investigation into the 1985 bombing of an Air India flight that originated in Canada.

Private forums show Canadian doctors struggle with euthanizing vulnerable patients

TORONTO (AP) — A homeless man refusing long-term care, a woman with severe obesity, an injured worker given meager government assistance, and grieving new widows. All of them requested to be killed under Canada’s euthanasia system, and each sparked private debate among doctors and nurses struggling with the ethics of one of the world’s most permissive laws on the practice, according to an Associated Press investigation.

As Canada pushes to expand euthanasia and more countries move to legalize it, health care workers here are grappling with requests from people whose pain might be alleviated by money, adequate housing or social connections. And internal data obtained exclusively by AP from Canada’s most populous province suggest a significant number of people euthanized when they are in unmanageable pain but not about to die live in Ontario’s poorest and most deprived areas.

We’re known for a Stupid Woke PM,  harboring terrorists and the assembly line killing our most vulnerable. Thanks Trudeau.

India should designate Canada as a state sponsor of terror

Left unchecked, the Khalistani extremists Trudeau’s government shelters can be as lethal as Al Qaeda

India is withdrawing its High Commissioner from Canada after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau again accused India of masterminding the June 18, 2023, killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar outside the Guru Nanak Gurdwara in Surrey, British Columbia. To back his accusation that India’s intelligence service conducted the hit, Trudeau said that US intelligence affirmed his conclusion. This was false. While American intelligence supplied Canada with raw data after Nijjar’s murder, Trudeau mischaracterised it.

This is all about Justin Trudeau’s ego.

He needed to deflect from the mutiny he’s facing and used the long compromised RCMP to help create a crisis for him.

So now thanks to Trudeau’s identity politics we have Sikh and Indian extremists walking amongst us not to mention his beloved Muslims.

Canada is a terrorist haven thanks to Trudeau but let’s not sell his Pal Jaggy short!

Dissatisfied Liberal MPs plan to ask PM Trudeau to step aside at next caucus meeting

Liberal MPs who have spent the last 10 days organizing to formally ask Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to step aside from the leadership of the Liberal Party plan to plead their case directly to him at next Wednesday’s caucus.

Multiple sources familiar with the plan told CTV News the overarching objective is to be direct with the prime minister and keep the discussions private. Some MPs will be designated in advance, based on their comfort level speaking on the issue, to reflect the group’s sentiment that Trudeau should step aside for the good of the party in the next federal election.

Trudeau tells inquiry some Conservative parliamentarians are involved in foreign interference

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he has the names of Conservative parliamentarians who are involved in foreign interference.

In explosive testimony before the foreign interference inquiry today, Trudeau said he has instructed the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) to warn Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and protect the party’s integrity.

It is never wise to trust a word Trudeau says especially given he is desperate however it should not come as a surprise that all our mainstream parties have been infiltrated by spies.

“Multicult” has turned Canada into a nation of 5th Columns.
