Two (2) cases of people with a very rare and badly understood disease (severe reaction to pollution) chose assisted suicide because couldn't find a place to accommodate their very special needs.
Hence, "Canadians Unable to Afford Safe Housing Are Turning to Medically-Assisted Death"...
This click baiting is just grotesque.
- polotics 4y agoOne could say this is clickbait, however the number 2 as you I am sure know is equal to, well, one plus one... So. How expensive would it have been to ensure these two Canadians could live? Two expensive I guess? ... I will walk myself right out (and live!) Thank You.

And even if that law didn't exist there wouldn't have suddenly magically been more housing or help available for these two. Helping people who have excellent reasons for no longer wanting to live in no way means that life is worthless and we shouldn't also be helping people live. Obviously, in cases like these, we as a society should try to help give them a better option of life as well.
