One could say that Canada is broken and back it up with this:
A Vancouver woman is claiming she was offered the option of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) by a clinician when she went to a hospital for help with her suicidal thoughts.
“I very specifically went there that day because I didn’t want to get into a situation where I would think about taking an overdose of medication,” Kathrin Mentler, who has chronic depression and feelings of suicidality, told The Globe and Mail.
“The more I think about it, I think it brings up more and more ethical and moral questions around it.”
(Sidebar: meanwhile, Quebec has second thoughts about killing all of its elderly people, especially seeing as Quebec is going extinct.)

“In an exuberance to get used needles off the street one of our staff posted a sign that was never meant for the public. In no way, shape, or form was that communication meant for children,” said Jason Altenberg, CEO of the South Riverdale Community Health Centre, in a statement to National Post.

Yes, but those aren't the lyrics:
According to the survey published on Friday, 41 per cent of Anglophone Canadians are in favor of altering the opening line of “O Canada” from “Our home and native land” to “Our home on native land”. However, 44 per cent disagree with the proposed modification.**
Sheri Meyerhoffer, who is the Canadian Ombudsperson for Responsible Enterprise, says it's not clear whether the company is doing enough to weed out components linked to the mistreatment of China's Uyghur minority.
Her report says that in response to her inquiries, Ralph Lauren insisted it's an American company that isn't subject to a Canadian probe before detailing its measures to prevent mistreatment.
Meyerhoffer has also asked Toronto-based mining company GobiMin to improve its policies to prevent the possible use of forced labour in its supply chains.
All four of the initial assessments the ombudsperson has announced so far relate to China's Xinjiang region, where most of the country's Uyghur population lives and where Beijing insists it has never allowed the use of forced labour.

The New Brunswick Family Court must consider the claims of a gender-confused woman who claims to be the father of another woman’s child.
On Tuesday, August 8, 2023, the precedence-setting custody case for “Pip” began in front of a “Master” of the New Brunswick Family Court. The Master of the court heard claims from representatives of both the child’s biological parents and the gender-confused woman about rights of “parentage” and custody over two-and-a-half-year-old Pip. The outcome of the day’s proceedings was that Pip would be traded back and forth in a chaotic and confusing custody schedule while awaiting another hearing to determine a permanent schedule until the case goes to trial, likely more than a year from now. Meanwhile, during the child’s most formative and vulnerable years, Pip will be forced to go to and from an abusive and manipulative home to which he has no relationship or connection. The boy has already developed behavioral tics and is showing signs of extreme stress.
The gender-confused woman, “Robin,” was accompanied by both her current female partner and her lawyer. Robin claimed she had custody rights and “decision making rights” over Pip as his “father” because, she alleged, she had made a custody agreement with “Felicity,” Pip’s biological mother. Felicity, appearing with her parents, her younger sister, her husband, Pip’s biological father “Mike,” and her own lawyer, counter claimed that Robin’s alleged agreement was obtained by blackmail, agreed upon only because Robin had essentially kidnapped Pip months earlier.
Felicity’s lawyer submitted more than 5 sworn affidavits to the court attesting that Robin abused and coerced Felicity to force her into the alleged agreement. The lawyer also submitted statements attesting to the manipulation Robin used to have her name recorded on Pip’s birth certificate, the document used by Robin to withhold Pip from both his biological parents. The same document was used by police and child services, without legal authority, to discourage Felicity from rescuing her son from Robin.

Parliament’s Special Joint Committee on the Declaration of Emergency yesterday entered its 18th month of deliberations with no deadline in sight for a final report into cabinet powers used against the Freedom Convoy. MPs complained they are still waiting to see all records in both official languages: “It became obvious the Liberal members of the committee were not prepared to permit the release of any government documents.”
