As most Canadians are aware, the media’s new attention on the intersection of MAID and housing prices is really just effective reporting because it’s a story we Canadians really want to hear.
My cynical reading is that individuals are being encouraged by support workers to give an interview saying they’re considering MAID, with the hope that the media attention will help them find a place to live. Obviously I don’t know this exact person’s situation, but having lived all over Canada, I can’t imagine a scenario where I’d choose death over a life outside of Toronto.
- faeriechangling 4y agoI’ve pretty much never seen or heard of support workers or social workers encouraging mentally ill people to talk to journalists. What I will say though is that housing costs are a huge issue for people with mental health issues because those people usually are best off staying near support networks which are rarely in low cost of living areas.
