Can we sign this if we live in a different country ?

Since this is a petition in favour of Bill C-230 rather than against something, the answer is Yes.

Thank you Kelly for standing up for Truth and giving us a right to stand with you.It will. never be a right to assist someone to take their life that is not dying with dignity but rather seeking out someone to help murder you. You are loved by God made in His image He always has a plan for your life seek Him and invite Jesus into tour life and He will come in and place His spirit in you and I can assure you He will never leave you or forsake you and He will write your name down in the Lambs book of life and you will spend your days on earth with His spirit living on the inside of you and when it is your time to go home you will go to your heavenly home for eternity.No one should be forced to help you end your life choose life you have experience death in your imagination now choose life choose Christ and He will give you life .Realize He loves you even before you were born He loved you and no matter what He will love you All this time He has been waiting for you to receive eternal life do not miss so great of salvation..Don’t seek death but rather seek life and life abundantly you are precious see yourself as precious I am praying for you give your life to Jesus He bought and paid for it. Blessings Marlyen

Could you please let me know if you recommend that we sign both the card and the petition? Is this considered to be a duplication or does it benefit our cause by signing both?
Thank you for your continued work to put and end to MAiD and to Kelly Block for her support in protecting the conscience rights of our healthcare practitioners.

Since the petition supporting Bill C-230 is being sent to Kelly Block and the post-card is to be sent to your Member of Parliament, therefore it is perfectly fine to sign the petition and send the postcard.
