“The safety of Canadians must come first. That’s why we’re taking the additional time necessary to get this right,” he said.Two-thirds don't know Canada plans to offer assisted death to mentally ill people: poll An expert panel has reviewed the issue and developed guidelines, but many mental health advocates said that safeguards were not in place and that physicians were simply not ready for this expansion.

Lametti is hoping to have the bill granting an extension pass before the deadline in March and said he has worked with opposition parties who he hopes will swiftly pass the legislation.

Herr Doktor would approve….

Hopefully Canada will have a sane non corrupt criminal government by then 🤞

Then what? Not enough room in the underfunded Healthcare fiasco

Ridiculous policy

Good decision by our Government as very bad idea and World iis watching us and certainly comment about a free democratic Country even doing what we do now! Europe who watched Natzi Germany eliminate even undesirables ! Canadians must speak up and Mental Health don't Surrender !

It’s a shame for our country that something like that is even being discussed! Instead of compassion and help for those with physical or mental needs! Scrap it altogether!

This is the most inhumane and evil thing a government could to do to those who require the most help and protection under the law. Why not scrap it all together?

Is there any country in the West who’s more fucked than Canada ?

Maid is my choice and my choice only. Stay away from my rights.

It's evil no matter what. How many ways can it be said: Governments shouldn't kill their own citizens. End. Of. Sentence.

Since when does a court have the authority to dictate this to the government, let alone society? This is twisting rights past the breaking point. Madness.

Good.

You think 🤔. A year will help? These ppl need real help but I guess it will be cost saving🙃. Its disgusting. The whole MAID is disgusting. Suicide by government tyranny. Gosh I wonder where this happened before,🤔

I'm pretty sure every social media company, Elon's Twitter included, have explicit rules against encouraging suicide. Would be hilarious to see those rules actually enforced on every MP/Govt account that supports this expansion.

Revoke entirely.

If this country and its voters continue to do NOTHING about poverty and mental health services, then keep your noses out of people’s business when it comes to MAID.

So trans have to wait a year. Got it

This mean we won't be able to pull the plug on the Liberals for another whole year?

Justin's mental state will go under the radar for another year

A good death for all, what would it take? Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Alex Jadad, physician, epidemiologist HRWcanada OnCall4ON UNHumanRights CHPalliative guardian GGCanada JustinTrudeau jyduclos BBCWorld McMasterU UofTPharmacy OntHumanRights CBCNews

This legislation should be CANCELLED FOREVER. ENOUGH! justin must go

Why do we need MAID when we have Pfizer? Just take your booster

So you literally drive people crazy on purpose for your benefits? Guess what, nothing said on social media has any sway for nothing. They could just be an internet tough guy. Lol judging people on nothing it is funny 😁 😂.

Because many of these people are mentally incapacitated does it mean that they are involuntarily euthanized?

Until after the elections

Margaret Trudeau is safe for another year.

Great. Now I’m poor, depressed, and I have to wait another year to get legally mandated suic*de. Lovely.

If you encourage people who are suicidal to kill themselves you are held criminally liable (rightfully so) But when the government or doctors do it we’re supposed to accept it 🤡🌎 CanadaIsBroken

Good job denisebatters! 🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♀️

Or hopefully a new government.... Pierre4PM

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.

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.

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
