There was dinosaurs???
Maybe they fell off the edge of the flat earth…

They can’t climb the ice wall….

Easily the best change I have ever made in life.

Yeah holding all that water back takes lots of ice…. keeping the aliens fed in their ice caves is lots of work as well

Looks like the first Epstein Files arrest has been made..

Wonder how long it’s going to take Bondi to go ask for an arrest warrant on a couple of US nationals or residents…

The Windsor formerly known as Prince.

Is the Andrew, formally known as Prince going to squeal like a pig to save his bacon and blow this whole thing wide open, or will there be a “camera glitch” and he’s found dead?

I think that probably depends on what he actually knows and who he has dirt on…

The UK doesn’t appear to be charging him with any sex crimes.. instead they’re going after him for revealing confidential information related to trade…

Our minds must work alike regarding “formerly known as Prince”. I wouldn’t have posted had I read that you already had the thought.

It’s about respecting those individual freedoms you folks south of the border keep bragging about.

Individual freedom includes making others foot the bill?

Canada didn’t simply legalize suicide, it incorporated it into its publicly funded health service.

One has the freedom to hang themselves but it’s not reasonable to expect others to provide the rope.

As mentioned before assisted suicide is most likely cheaper than providing continuous care. So, others are actually saving money in the long run.

Once again, I’m ok with it, morally and economically. You don’t have to be, the beauty of it is that it literally has zero impact in your life.

It never impacts your life until it's someone close to you.

If your kid, wife, siblings, paremts had type 1 diabetes and got the blues every once in a while and decided to use it as a reason to off themselves, would you encourage them all the way?

Well I’ve had family members use it already, and my parents have openly stated their desire to go out that way.

As for the kid, I mean going blind at 17, just when your old enough to see and play with some titties, and realizing that 98% of all life opportunities have now slipped through your grasp, I can see why he made his decision.

The thing is, id rather have a loved one tell me they’re doing it and properly dealing with it and saying goodbye than them blowing their brains out (if there was no changing their mind). Banning MAID isn’t going to stop suicides, people will always find a way.

So once again, yes I support Canadians having access to this.

Let me flip the script, how would you feel if a child/grandchild was a victim of a school shooting? That would be quite devastating. Would you advocate for tighter 2A laws?

 

[Tubby’s Canteen]

Not that I’m advocating for the maid program as I’m firmly against it for religious reasons but a couple of years ago my best friends father was dieing of throat cancer and tired of taking treatments and unfortunately chose to end his own life. If that is the way you bound and determined to go than I’m sure a doctors injection is easier on the family than taking the option available to us all as firearms owners. My buddy ended up staying with me until he was able to sell his property which was a home that his family had owned sense the loyalists fled America because he was unable to return there without seeing what he had walked in on.

another unfortunate fact of Canadian law if your elderly father who was a sportsman his entire life lets his pal lapse because he’s physically unable to go hunting anymore than the rcmp has grounds to seize firearms from the son because he allowed his father access to them and they were used in a shooting. Doesn’t matter that the guns in question were in the same cabinet they had been in the sons entire life.

 

[Red Leg]

My problem with this practice is that it absolves family, friends, and the medical community of any responsibility in addressing the suicide’s issues. In fact, they can even feel virtuous.

Sorry for your fiends loss, I’m certain he would have preferred to be sitting at his father’s bedside holding his hand as he passed.

Is it though? I just think it’s the better of two shitty options should you come to the decision.

He lived his life on his own terms and chose to go out the same way I just wish he’d of chosen a different location for it. The act of takings ones life taints every memory all those who know you have of you. Never again will your name come up in conversation with that being mentioned and or thought about. You rob those who love you of every good moment they’ve had with you.

Exactly.

With MAID (as it's called in Canada - Medical Assistance in Dying), governments and other health care providers are let off the hook in terms of treatments, pain relief research and treatment, hospice care, and the list goes on. If you have a terminal diagnosis (or not, see this thread above), you are encouraged to simply off yourself, and save the government (or your family, in other places) the money of treating you properly.

And so far as it having no impact on anyone other than those undergoing it, you only have to look at the cases where parents, children, relatives, and friends have been left wondering what could or should have been done to avert this unnatural ending of lives. The media is full of these cases.

When it was first proposed to extend the eligibility for MAID to those who are mentally ill, the then Liberal Minister of Health for Canada, in responding to a question about how they would prevent people who only want to commit suicide from accessing MAID, the Minister responded that safeguards would be put in place so that suicidal people would be ineligible. So - in other words - anyone who wants to die, will not be allowed to die. Does this mean that only those who don't want to die will be put to death? Move over, George Orwell.

Assisted suicide has become one of the top 5 leading causes of death in Canada, with over 15,000 people "helped" in this way in 2025, saving our government run health care system billions of dollars. For those who don't think that money matters . . . think again. Again, the media regularly reports cases of people being encouraged to consider MAID rather than seek treatment for what ails them.

For those who are in favour, be careful what you wish for.

You still have to agree. No one is going to stop giving you the treatment you require should you decline to use MAID. And if you want to decline, by all means do it. No one, I repeat no one, is forcing anyone into signing up for MAID.
