Not op, but the fact that they are expanding MAID(euthanasia) to non terminal patients and people in general. They had a case where a Soldier called the I believe the VA for PTSD and was offered euthanasia as an option. Then there was a Paralympian who was asking for a ramp to be put at her house, they couldn't do that but they offered her MAID as an option.
They also plan to loosen the reqs to allow mentally handicapped people to apply.
Health Canada says that starting March 17 next year, “people with a mental illness as their sole underlying medical condition will have access to MAID if they meet all of the eligibility requirements and the practitioners fulfill the safeguards that are put in place for this group of people.”

- Karsteski 4y agoHmm I understand why you feel the way you do actually, even though I currently support people being able to end their lives humanely whenever they want. I'm someone who has mental health issues myself, so I can see why having easier access to suicide is a bit weird. A good argument on why MAID leads us further down the dystopian road could easily change my mind I think...
