Canada the Cruel

Appalling:

New Canadian survey on attitudes to euthanasia. 27% think people should have access to euthanasia because of poverty (41% among the 18-34). 28% for homelessness, 43% for mental illness, and 50% for being disabled (60% among the 18-34). pic.twitter.com/nCdL9NQDYG

Take a good look at the 18-34 age group.

The morons who vote Liberal and NDP without fail, who cannot afford groceries let alone a home and who waste their money are - well - poor.

Don't get me started on mentally ill.

Way to walk into that, idiots.

 

Also - why don't we just execute them?:

It’s been 61 years since Canada has carried out a sentence of capital punishment, but state-assisted death has apparently returned to the prison system amid revelations that at least nine federal inmates have received medical assistance in dying.

The figures — provided by the Correctional Service of Canada — were published recently in a report by APTN. The broadcaster also noted that the first three Canadian inmates to die by assisted suicide were Indigenous, and remained shackled during the procedure.

It’s difficult to track MAID deaths in prisons, since they aren’t subjected to the same scrutiny as other in-custody fatalities. As the Correctional Service’s own guidelines state, “after the death of an inmate through MAID, there is no requirement … to convene a board of investigation or a mortality review.”

This week, CTV News also released details from an Access to Information request showing that 27 prisoners total have requested MAID over the last seven years.

Canada’s rate of in-custody MAID is well beyond that of any other jurisdiction in which assisted suicide is legal. Everywhere else, the procedure is either not done or has yielded no more than one instance that qualified under special circumstances.

Belgium — which legalized assisted suicide in 2002 — granted euthanasia to its first prisoner just this year. Geneviève Lhermitte, who murdered her five children in 2008, convinced authorities that she was so wracked by guilt and suicidality that she met the criteria for assisted death.

Notably, Belgium’s first instance of a prisoner requesting assisted suicide turned into a national legal controversy that ultimately ended with the prisoner — serial rapist and murderer Frank Van den Bleeken — being denied Belgium’s usual “right to die” in 2015.
