Liberals need to hire more consultants because two years of consulting wasn’t enough.

Do not delay this is so important for people

Breathe easy tonight Canada. Your government isn't proposing death for you. Yet. cdnpoli

This legislation opens the door to some very dangerous practices.

Surge in numbers expected at year end, gotta put the brakes on a bit or the plebs are gonna notice.

Hopefully Liberals have punted it's corrupt leader by then. The damage is overwhelming & a full rebuild is required. That goes for the CBC News also. Who knows it might only be a massive taxpayer funding cut & restructuring. Most of your VP should be sending out resumes.

This is insane, MAID is meant to spare people a certain painful death. It is not meant for people, who are by definition, incapable of making a legally binding decision to choose to die…this is nuts plain and simple

But still, their mouths salivate at the thought of those unharvested depressed organs going to waste in their owners' bodies.

This is going to drive people crazy. woof

Suicidal = mental illness = suicide. Progress I guess.

Because they screwed up again

As a Federal Public Servant and as a Person with very mild schizophrenia I say 🥰👍👍👍. Let us all work together to find relief for persons with mental health disabilities so that they would never opt for medical assisted dying which is a horrible outcome.

Government authorized assisted suicide for depressed anxiety ridden Canadians instead of public health care. What can go wrong? This scenerio sounds like the horrors of 1930's Germany. Absolutely terrifying.

Government should make MAID more widely available, not delay it

But zombie Jesus says.....

Many of them could qualify right now. You'd think they'd appreciate the option.

Why just delay? This needs to be re-examined in detail. If merited, can reintroduce legislation at a later date.

It is an individual decision. This decision by the Liberals is B.

they so love delays oops true with delays as usual no WORK

Liberalism in Canada is a mental disorder. That's why they are changing MAID. The Libs don't want to lose their voter base.

Excuse you, but I have every right to die on my own terms.

Only bc they saw a drop in ratings

In a moment of sanity, they just realized, the'd all qualify! LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder

we really need to think this threw

Very progressive! recycle the poor and depressed. End stage liberal ideology.

To be completely honest I think they set this up to fail. I think they either actually offered MAID to people who it shouldn't have been offered to or faked it and leaked it so that people would be outraged and then they could slow it down, which is what they wanted all along.

Its too bad that political games mean further delays and extended suffering, for those fighting for the right to make their own decision, about their own health... MAID

Only because the Liberals were called out on your morals. You all should be ashamed of yourselves.

Only Trudeau would want to come up with a law to kill Canadian people that may not even be in the right state of mind. Get that thing out of politics he is dangerous. Bring in Pierre Poilievre to make Canada a safe and affordable place to live again.

So Justin isn't quite ready to pull the plug on his Mom yet?

Test the sanity of the Liberal party and their leader. Start there. Defund the CBC.

MAID expansion to the mentally ill to be delayed one year under new billThe Liberals on Thursday introduced legislation that would delay the expansion of MAID to the mentally ill by one year. Scrap the program. It's being abused by shitty doctors to take advantage of people's vulnerability, all to save the government money that should be used to treat people. Not kill them. Giving people who are suicidal an option to take their lives is morally wrong and should never be legal. This government is a death cult. Or hopefully a new government.... Pierre4PM

Liberals set to introduce bill to delay expansion of assisted dying eligibilityThe Liberal government is expected to introduce a law today to delay the extension of eligibility for medically assisted dying to people whose sole condition is a mental disorder. Liberals are the Nazi party. Bad world wide press is a hard task master! I predict this propaganda - just like the rest - is an attempt to lull the world into thinking all is well in Canada - while MAiD continues to expand the scope of her Grim Reaper's Scythe onward, albeit quietly and without fanfare. It's a great business plan: whoever wants to MAID themselves can just go to BC and legally overdose on their own dime.... same outcome, for less

Kelly McParland: Green leader should be insulted Ontario Liberals want to recruit himIt’s no compliment to Schreiner if the Liberals view him as one of them Nope. Nobody should be insulted by what anyone or any group says or does. Be strong and secure within yourself. If they want to beat Doug fraud but also relinquish they’re principles this is a good idea. How much conservative paid to post this article?
