I just completed a speaking tour in British Columbia where I had speaking engagements in Vernon, Kelowna, Salmon Arm and Vancouver - four speaking engagements in four days.

Death clinic

While in Vancouver I visited St Paul's Hospital to see the (MAiD) euthanasia clinic that was imposed on it by the British Columbia (BC) provincial government - Ministry of Health.
The Euthanasia (MAiD) clinic was opened in January 2025 and is known as the Shoreline Space (green building). It looked like a euthanasia killing was happening while I was outside the door.
You may remember that on June 27, 2023 I reported that the euthanasia lobby was pressuring the BC government to force Catholic hospitals to provide euthanasia.

Door from St. Paul's
to Death clinic |
The euthanasia lobby used the story of Samantha O'Neill (34) who died by euthanasia (MAiD) on April 4, 2023. O'Neill requested euthanasia at St Paul's hospital. Since St Paul's did not provide euthanasia they transferred Samantha from St Paul's to St. John’s hospice (run by Vancouver Coastal Health) to die by euthanasia.
On December 1, 2023 I reported that in response to the pressure from the euthanasia lobby the BC government expropriated property from Providence Health (St Paul's) to build a euthanasia killing center next to St Paul's in Vancouver in response to the complaint that palliative care patients did not have access to euthanasia at St Paul's hospital.

In May 2024, I went to Germany to speak at a conference. While in Germany I visited three of the T-4 euthanasia memorials. I first visited the Grafeneck euthanasia memorial since it was the first of the T-4 euthanasia centres. 10,654 people (primarily people with disabilities) reportedly were gassed to death at Grafeneck.

In 1928, Grafeneck castle came into the possession of the Samaritan Foundation (Samariterstiftung), a charitable arm of the German Lutheran Church. The foundation established a care facility for male patients with disabilities at Grafeneck in 1929.
In October 1939, the German government expropriated the Grafeneck castle property from the Lutheran Samaritan Foundation and transformed Grafeneck from a Lutheran care facility into the first centralized killing center within Aktion T4 (Nazi Euthanasia Program).

Grafeneck was the first functioning T4 killing center. Its operations commenced on January 18, 1940. Twenty-five male patients arrived from the Eglfing-Haar facility in Munich that day. Dr. Schumann personally escorted them to the old coach house where Schumann gassed them to death in the newly constructed gas chamber. From this date until December 1940, people were killed by gassing on an almost daily basis, excluding Sundays and holidays.

| Shoreline Space |
I am not suggesting that the BC government is planning to empty care homes by busing the residents to the Shoreline Space for killing.
I am stating that when the BC government expropriated property from Providence health and built a euthanasia killing center that is attached to St Paul's hospital that they were repeating one of the ugliest parts of human history.

Thank you, Alex.
This story is beyond weeping. People must understand where our assisted suicide laws are going.
You Canadians are TOO NICE. You should have dozens of people picketing outside that killing center in Vancouver every day with signs saying-"When a doctor becomes a killer he becomes the most dangerous person in society" to wake people up. Talk about a heckler's veto (of 2000 years of Catholic teaching). One person wants to be killed inside a Catholic hospital so the whole government acts to make it happen by stealing Catholic property.
Amen a horrific genocide!!!
Let us stop these crimes against Humanity now!
How very sad. My dad spent 4 years in hitler’s killing camps.
The concentration camps have a new name but their objective is the same: DEATH !
How can you logically compare MAiD to a concentration camp?? Those people were taken there against their will and gased. It's such a deplorable comparison!! MAiD is a legal, voluntary requested service. No one is running around gathering up people and dragging them into Shoreline. If you're against MAiD on the grounds that helping someone to die is wrong, fine stick with that, but stop comparing it to concentration camps.
You didn't read the article. I clearly recognize that it is different and they aren't being gathered up, etc. But there are clear similarities that cannot be ignored.
