Dying With Dignity Canada says forced transfers happen when a patient makes an end-of-life choice but is being treated in a facility that forbids medical assistance in dying.

Dying With Dignity says the service is being restricted because of an agreement that allows facilities covered by the Denominational Health Association to collect taxpayer dollars but refuse to perform services they oppose on religious or moral grounds.

COVID-19: B.C. hospitalizations declining, so why are we still seeing so many deaths?Deaths from COVID\u002D19, which are at their highest level since the second wave in the fall of 2020, are \u0022the ultimate lagging indicator.\u0022 The stupid comments on the vax while ignoring a serious issue is insane. Covid is real, and it’s not only you die or you don’t. Millions of us are stuck in the grey agonizing void of LongCovid & the numbers will keep rising. This is FAR from over Maybe it’s due to our higher population of retirees ? Either way drop all the restrictions and let’s move on with our lives

Ontario reports 21 net new COVID-19 deathsOntario reported 21 net new COVID-19 deaths on Sunday, as the number of patients in hospital fell again to levels not seen in more than two months. But Doug Ford said Covid is over.... Covid will in time move from pandemic to become endemic (even anti vaxxers admit this) so vaccinations will still need to continue for all, esp. for those not yet vaccinated. If you haven't been vaccinated recently it is likely time to get your protection from the virus. We were par with the Netherlands till Ontario stopped testing. Their new case number for yesterday is 67,208. Keep wearing your masks!!!

Does life flash before our eyes as we die? A Vancouver man's brain scan suggests it's possible | CBC NewsThe brainwaves of a dying human brain were captured for the first time in a Vancouver patient, revealing a surge of brain activity moments before death. Trudeau is dead ? My late husband had a near-death experience 15 years before he died from young onset Alzheimer’s in 2019. From that day forward he had never feared death. He saw the light and felt an enormous peace back then while he was out. 🙏. It’s a comfort. That's beautiful and tragic at the same time. Surreal.
