While the Americans are currently wetting themselves over the possibility that the disastrous and wrong-headed Roe vs. Wade decision will be turned over to the individual states to decide, Canada, being its sanctimonious and hypocritical self, has chosen this time to be foolish and snobbish.
Take some Gravol.
You will need it:
- the coward who hides from his many discontented masses offers his rancid and unwanted opinion on another country's topic-changing furor.
Justin, why did you grope a woman, elbow a woman in the chest, fire a woman, wear blackface, force people into home arrest to please China, use your own child as a human shield to avoid meeting people you once claimed were heroes, freeze the bank accounts of random citizens and tolerate the sexual mistreatment of women by your own Cabinet members?
Why did you do that, Justin?
Do you enjoy treating women like crap, Justin?
Is that why you scream at them but run away from burly men who will stand up to you?
Huh, Justin?
That's okay. You run and hide. It's what you do.
Coward.

Okay - American issue. A distraction. Your government kills the poor, elderly and mentally ill:
The abortion issue inevitably made its way on Parliament Hill, as Liberal and Bloc Quebecois MPs tried to score political points off the leaked draft of the U.S. Supreme Court decision that could overturn the Roe v. Wade ruling legalizing abortion in the United States.
Bloc MP Christine Normandin put forward a motion in the House of Commons Tuesday to reaffirm support for a woman’s right to choose. Some very clear “no’s” were uttered in the room, thus denying the unanimous consent to carry the motion.
“Bunch of bigots,” muttered an unidentified Bloc MP.
(Sidebar: these "bigots" didn't let old people die in their own waste, @$$hole.)

Since last year, Canadian law, in all its majesty, has allowed both the rich as well as the poor to kill themselves if they are too poor to continue living with dignity. In fact, the ever-generous Canadian state will even pay for their deaths. What it will not do is spend money to allow them to live instead of killing themselves.
As with most slippery slopes, it all began with a strongly worded denial that it exists. In 2015, the Supreme Court of Canada reversed 22 years of its own jurisprudence by striking down the country’s ban on assisted suicide as unconstitutional, blithely dismissing fears that the ruling would ‘initiate a descent down a slippery slope into homicide’ against the vulnerable as founded on ‘anecdotal examples’. The next year, Parliament duly enacted legislation allowing euthanasia, but only for those who suffer from a terminal illness whose natural death was ‘reasonably foreseeable’.
It only took five years for the proverbial slope to come into view, when the Canadian parliament enacted Bill C-7, a sweeping euthanasia law which repealed the ‘reasonably foreseeable’ requirement – and the requirement that the condition should be ‘terminal’. Now, as long as someone is suffering from an illness or disability which ‘cannot be relieved under conditions that you consider acceptable’, they can take advantage of what is now known euphemistically as ‘medical assistance in dying’ (MAID for short) for free.
Soon enough, Canadians from across the country discovered that although they would otherwise prefer to live, they were too poor to improve their conditions to a degree which was acceptable.
Not coincidentally, Canada has some of the lowest social care spending of any industrialised country, palliative care is only accessible to a minority, and waiting times in the public healthcare sector can be unbearable, to the point where the same Supreme Court which legalised euthanasia declared those waiting times to be a violation of the right to life back in 2005.

In a Canadian first, Abbotsford Police are investigating a clinic regarding allegations that they were too quick to administer euthanasia to a patient suffering from untreated mental illness.

A 31-year-old Toronto woman who uses a wheelchair is nearing final approval for a medically assisted death request after a fruitless bid to secure an affordable apartment that doesn't worsen her chronic illnesses.
Whatever the Americans may be, at least they are not killing off the most vulnerable for fun.
Way to go, Canada!
