And the Rest of It

But that is what the government passed MAID for:

Excess mortality rates among younger Canadians rose as the COVID-19 pandemic wore on, which may have been the result of increased substance use and missed medical appointments, according to Statistics Canada.

 

Why not just burn it down?

That's what Justin would do:

The church, reconstructed in 1881, after a fire destroyed the original church built in 1849, is nestled between a school and the neighbourhood's many shops, restaurants and bars. The small church square is often home to festivals and events in the summer months.

Until last fall, discussions were advancing with the previous municipal administration about the possibility of the city buying the church building. Mayoral candidate Marie-Josée Savard had even made it a campaign promise.

Despite her loss to now-mayor Bruno Marchand, the city is not ruling out playing a role in the church's next vocation.

"The reflection on the future of the church is ongoing, and the city acquiring the building is part of that reflection. No decision has been made on the subject," the city said in a statement.

 

 

But not the language of commerce?:

More than a third of English-speaking Canadians say it would be more useful to have their children learn a second language other than French. Research by the Languages Commissioner also found almost half of all people say mandated bilingualism makes no sense in some parts of Canada: “Over half of anglophones agree with this statement.”

 

Because fairness and transparency:

The Canada Revenue Agency must answer whistleblower claims that managers arranged a seven-figure tax waiver for a corporate lobbyist, the vice chair of the Commons finance committee said yesterday. “There are some alarming allegations here,” said Conservative MP Dan Albas (Central Okanagan-Similkameen, B.C.): “When you have allegations that staff members were to ‘rubber stamp’ the deal, questions need to be asked.”

 

 

In Canada, this guy would be hounded for saving an unborn person:

“All you see is smoke, black smoke bomb going off, and then people bum rushing to the back. This pregnant woman was in front of me. I was trying to help her,” Benkada said. “I didn’t know there were shots at first, I just thought it was a black smoke bomb. She said, ‘I’m pregnant with a baby.’ I hugged her, and then the bum rush continued. I got pushed, and that’s when I got shot in the back of my knee.”

Benkada said it’s the worst pain he’s ever felt in his life. He also elaborated on the fight to escape the shooter, who reportedly fired 33 times.

“It’s an old-style train, you can’t switch cars.” Benkada said. “Somebody broke the first door down and the second door was really hard to break, and I was just focused on the pregnant woman. And that’s when I got struck in the leg, man. I was just on my way to work.”

 

It's worse in California.
