Trudeau announces plans to euthanize “drug addicts” and “mentally ill.”
FRONT NIEUS | October 22, 2023
The Canadian government has announced plans to begin euthanizing “drug addicts” and citizens with a range of mental illnesses.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government plans to relax current “assisted suicide” laws so that more Canadians who have become a burden on taxpayer-funded health care systems can use them, Hunter Fielding reports .
However, critics compare the move to “modern eugenics”.
When Canada’s medically assisted dying (MAID) law changes in March 2024, mental health patients, including those with substance abuse problems, without other physical conditions will be eligible to be legally euthanized by the state.
A special parliamentary committee will re-examine the controversial move ahead of its implementation in coming months, following protests from Trudeau’s opponents in Canada.
Daily Mail reports: More than 10,000 Canadians were euthanized in 2021, a tenfold increase from 2016 when the practice was legalized.
In some cases, people living in poverty have agreed to die.
Currently, people with mental health conditions such as depression and personality disorders without physical conditions are not eligible for assisted suicide.
A framework for assessing people with substance use disorders for MAID is being discussed this week at an annual scientific conference in Canada.
The agenda of the workshop includes teaching participants and medical professionals to “know the difference between suicidality and a motivated desire to die.”
Zoë Dodd, a harm reduction advocate from Toronto, told VICE News that the practice is tantamount to eugenics.
She said: “I just think that MAID, when it has entered the realm of mental health and substance use, is really rooted in eugenics.
“And there are people who are really struggling with substance use and people are actually not getting the support and help that they need.”
Dr. David Martell, chief physician of Addiction Medicine at Nova Scotia Health, who is presenting the framework at the conference, told VICE News :
I don’t think it’s fair, and the government doesn’t think it’s fair, to exclude people from eligibility because their medical condition or their suffering is related to mental illness.
As a subset of these, it is not fair to exclude people from subsidies simply because their mental disorder may be partially or completely a substance use disorder.
It has to do with treating people equally.
The process for an assisted death in Canada starts with downloading a simple form online.
This means that the applicant must answer a number of questions and sign the bottom.
The applicants must then obtain the signatures of witnesses.
This is followed by a phone call and a home visit from a doctor.
If the application is approved by two different doctors, the person must wait 90 days from the time of application.
A doctor can then administer the lethal drug via an injection.

Revisionist History Books Banned by Amazon
By Michael Hoffman • Unz Review • August 25, 2018
On August 13, 2018 Amazon banned Judaism’s Strange Gods: Revised and Expanded, which was published in 2011 and sold by Amazon for the past seven years. Along with the much larger study, Judaism Discovered, (sold by Amazon since 2008), it has had an international impact both as a softcover volume as well as a digital book circulating on the Amazon Kindle.
Sales to India, Japan and the Middle East were rapidly growing. The digital Kindle format is particularly important for the free circulation of books because it bypasses borders and customs and hurdles over the prohibitive cost of shipping which the US Postal Service imposed on mail to overseas destinations several years ago (eliminating economical surface mail).
Amazon has also banned The Great Holocaust Trial: The Landmark Battle for the Right to Doubt the West’s Most Sacred Relic (sold by Amazon since 2010).
These volumes maintain a high standard of scholarly excellence, had a majority of favorable reviews by Amazon customers, are free of hatred and bigotry and have sold thousands of copies on Amazon. Out of the blue we were told that suddenly “Amazon KDP” discovered that the books are in violation of Amazon’s “content guidelines.” Asking for documentation of the charge results in no response. It is enough that the accusation has been tendered. The accused are guilty until proved innocent, although how proof of innocence is presented is anyone’s guess. There is no appeals process. This is what is known as “Tech Tyranny.”
There is a nationwide purge underway that amounts to a new McCarthyism — blacklisting and banning politically incorrect speech and history books under the rubric of “hate speech” accusations, initiated in part by two Zionist thought police organizations, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). It’s a flimsy pretext for censoring controversial scholarly books that can’t be refuted.
In addition to our books being hate-free, we note that there are hundreds of hate-filled Zionist and rabbinic books brimming with ferocious bigotry for Palestinians, Germans and goyim in general, which are sold by Amazon. … continue

As Canadians, you could say, we have lost our moral compass. From the time this government took power to now, Canada has been unraveling as a nation. If someone had suggested this Canada in the 1980s or even the 90s, I’d have thought it was part of Monty Python’s Flying Circus skit.
