Canadians should be terrified.

By Kelsi Sheren

What if I told you that the Canadian government is quietly funding death? Most people who read this Substack wouldn’t be shocked, but this new information is wild.

I’m not talking metaphorically. Not symbolically. Literally.

While every Canadian struggles to access the most basic needs of a family doctors, mental health care, and basic treatments, Health Canada is now funnelling taxpayer dollars into a project designed to normalize death, killing and getting rid of the burdens and almost nobody is screaming about talking about it. Everyone is too focused on conflicts that Canada should never have been involved in, while your distracted. Health Canada is quietly eroding the system meant to support Canadians in their weakest moments. They opened a door to the dark predators of the world. Those who prey on the weak, and personally I’m done sugar coating it for everyone.

Health Canada is building a EUGENICS FULLED MACHINE EXPANDING AND EXPLODING by the SECOND WHILE YOU’RE ALL screaming genocide distracted and unaware as your own country and North American’s fall victim to the pro death cults.

WAKE THE HELL UP.

The Canadian Association of MAiD Assessors and Providers (CAMAP), the group training doctors to administer Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), has just launched the Canadian Journal of MAiD.

And the journal? Funded by Health Canada.

A government-backed academic platform, built to influence doctors, shape policy, and shift cultural attitudes about death itself.

And if you think this is just about patient dignity, think again. Canadian Blood Services the organization managing our blood, plasma, stem cells, organs, and tissues is sponsoring MAiD related conferences.

Assisted death, government money, and organ procurement —Are you seeing it yet?

It’s all connected.

If that doesn’t make you pause, it should. Don’t look away.

MAiD was introduced as an extraordinary, last-resort measure an option reserved for the most extreme cases of suffering. But that framing is being rewritten, over and over eroding any pathetic attempt at safeguards. What was “once exceptional” is being repositioned as ordinary, even preferable.

When Health Canada funds a journal dedicated to MAiD, it isn’t neutral research. It’s a cultural project, a legitimate pay op. It builds an academic foundation designed to normalize assisted dying not as a tragic necessity, but as a legitimate, mainstream part of healthcare.

Can you imagine attempting to justify killing someone before their natural death?

This is how cultural shifts happen. They don’t arrive with warning sirens. They unfold slowly, methodically, step by step. Let me show you how.

Journals shape the framing.

Policy aligns with the framing.

Medical education adopts the policy.

Doctors are trained accordingly.

Beliefs shift — almost without anyone noticing.

Before long, death is marketed as dignity.

Life stops being the default.

CAMAP isn’t a neutral player. It is the driving force behind the expansion of MAiD in Canada.

It trains physicians, develops guidelines, runs conferences, and produces the materials that frame assisted dying as an accepted standard of care. They are the one’s who told the NIH to add a paralytic…….Take a look at my interview with Jordan B Peterson to understand how sinister and dark this is.

Now, with the launch of the Canadian Journal of MAiD, CAMAP gains control over the research pipeline itself. That means it decides which studies are amplified, which voices are silenced, and what “evidence” shapes the conversation.

This isn’t open debate. It’s curated consent — the illusion of choice while steering Canadians toward one conclusion: assisted death is acceptable, normal, and even expected.

And when Health Canada bankrolls CAMAP’s influence, it isn’t just informing Canadians. It’s teaching us what to believe.

This is eugenics in sheep’s clothing. Period. Look at what’s already happening.

Veterans are being offered MAiD instead of treatment.

People with disabilities are being told death is an “option” when supports are unavailable.

The poor and mentally ill are being steered toward assisted death because their suffering is “too expensive” to address.

That’s not dignity. It’s cost-saving through death.

And now, add this: Canadian Blood Services — the organization responsible for managing Canada’s organs, tissues, plasma, and blood — is sponsoring CAMAP’s conferences.

Government funding. Physician training. Organ procurement.

All deeply entangled.

At minimum, this creates an optics nightmare. At worst, it raises disturbing questions about how policy-driven death aligns with supply-driven organ collection.

My next question is so where is all of Canadians consent in all of this? True informed consent demands full transparency — every motive, every incentive, every risk laid bare.

But can we really claim Canadians are making free, informed choices when Health Canada funds pro-MAiD research and education, when CAMAP writes the ethical guidelines for doctors, and Organ collection networks are financially aligned with MAiD expansion?

This isn’t informed consent. It’s manufactured consent.

This isn’t about one journal or one organization. This is about a systemic shift, Health Canada funds the journal pushing assisted dying deeper into our healthcare culture. CAMAP writes the rules, trains physicians, and controls the narrative. Canadian Blood Services sponsors MAiD-related events while managing organs and tissues. Vulnerable Canadians are already reporting feeling pressured to choose MAiD because real alternatives aren’t offered.

This isn’t healthcare.

This is policy-driven death dressed up as compassion.

When government funding, medical training, and organ procurement are all tied to the same agenda, this stops being about personal choice.

This is about control.

This is about shaping how Canadians think about life and death — and quietly steering us toward outcomes that benefit systems and institutions, not patients.

If Health Canada, CAMAP, and Canadian Blood Services are aligned in promoting MAiD, we have to ask:

Are Canadians truly choosing assisted death; the answer is no. We being guided toward it.

Because once this cultural shift takes root, reversing it will be nearly impossible. This isn’t about politics. It’s about ethics. It’s about trust. It’s about whether we value life, autonomy, and dignity or whether we’re willing to trade them for convenience and cost efficiency.

Canadians deserve transparency. We deserve informed consent. And we deserve a healthcare system that protects life first, or any health care at all.

Because when death becomes policy, the real question is simple.

Who protects life?

Not CAMAP, Health Canada or Canadian Blood Services that’s for damn sure.

How the MAiD Movement Signals the Decline of Western Culture

This article was published by Kelsi Sheren on her Substack on July 21, 2025.

Kelsi Sheren

By Kelsi Sherin

YES another article on MAiD, but this time this one felt weird. Have you heard of Be Ceremonial? Specifically their programs about MAiD. It hit me hard, hard enough to stop what I was doing and write this. This one made me genuinely upset and angry. Once again seeing someone exploit death and promote MAiD. Seeing death celebrated alongside big life events like the birth of a child and marriages felt fundamentally wrong. It made me think about how far we've fallen as a society in the west and how we now celebrate choosing death as though it were something noble or courageous to strive for.

In case your unaware or if I haven’t made it clear before. I don’t support MAiD or the people who push it on our society like they’re saving people. They kill people and promote it in book’s and on social media. Compassionate care and dignity are what everyone deserves at the end of their life, but actively encouraging or celebrating medically assisted suicide crosses a moral and ethical line for me. They’ve been promoting death as something ritualistic and ceremonial like a wedding or a birth and this dangerously normalizes the act of ending a life. This is a Dr or nurse killing someone before they were supposed to leave this earth. That’s not care and compassion, that’s removing hope and prematurely hastening death.

One of my many issues with MAiD is the message this sends to the population, a seriously harmful message that surrendering, giving up, or ending your life early is somehow admirable or even desirable, it’s the cool new popular thing to do. It feel’s to me like society is losing sight of life's inherent value and what it truly means to be alive. Life was never promised without suffering, and anyone who's lived knows that pain isn't optional. Suffering isn't something you choose, but it's proof you're still breathing, still fighting, and still here.

Pain, struggle, loss these things carve us out, forging stronger, more resilient versions of ourselves. If you're suffering, you're feeling something real. You're awake to your life, connected deeply to your humanity, living in the gritty, messy truth of existence. That's the price we pay to experience all of life and it’s true purpose. Suffering reminds you you're human and if you're human, you're alive, ready to keep moving forward until the natural end. It's beyond irresponsible and deeply harmful for our media, “charities” and others to package a tragic, irreversible choice as just another marketable life event, glamorizing something that steals away our most precious gift: life itself.

I personally understand and respect the power of ritual. Ritual has helped me significantly in processing trauma and healing from my time overseas. I've used plant medicine and psychedelic-assisted therapy to overcome trauma. While rituals can be profoundly healing, when we start associating them with the deliberate act of ending someone’s life prematurely, we dangerously blur the line between healing and harm. I would even go as far to say that this act of killing causes more trauma than people are willing to admit. I’ve seen this personally with a significant amount of families and their loved ones. MAiD breaks families and anyone it touches. MAiD is sold to individuals as the solution “It’s ok if your family doesn’t understand, we do and we can be your family now if yours doesn’t approve” We need to stop pretending MAiD doesn’t leave crater size damage. MAiD leaves behind the feeling's of “I couldn’t save them, I couldn’t stop them”. That level of helplessness is excruciating to live with.

Watching someone die, especially through a process like MAiD, is far more traumatic and distressing than most people realize. If you need a quick reminder, MAiD is still killing no matter what fancy acronym they slap on it, it's still death. Here's a widespread myth that medically assisted dying is always peaceful, gentle, or dignified, but this is often far from reality. Many documented cases show how MAiD procedures have gone terribly wrong, and when I say wrong I mean bad. People have awakened mid-death, needing to be re-drugged. Cases of people in the US asking the Dr mid death to stop and him continuing.

Documented cases taking oral assisted suicide drugs have the longest time of death at 137 hours in 2023 and 26 hours in 2024 in Oregon.

The medications used can paralyze a person, causing their lungs to fill with fluid, essentially drowning them within their own bodies. Imagine the horror of being unable to scream or beg for help if you suddenly change your mind.

Societies thrive when they value resilience, courage, and the collective ability to overcome challenges, when did this mentality of “quit, stop trying and die” start. Life is often painful and complicated, but the struggle itself is meaningful. Encouraging or normalizing death as something to celebrate undermines our most fundamental human instinct to survive, persevere, and find hope by doing the truly hard things. I would argue it already has created a culture of indifferent or numb to suicide and euthanasia, handling profound loss casually rather than with the seriousness and sensitivity it deserves.

To me, celebrating death signals deep cultural sickness. It shows that our society is losing respect for the real dignity and value inherent in every single life. Framing death as a celebratory milestone that we should all want is not progressive or enlightened, it’s so obviously misguided. This to me feel’s more like a DEI type project where we are being told that everyone should have death and no one should be turned down.

It signals that we are becoming a culture defined more by resignation than resilience, which is not progress; it's a huge decline and signals failures in the government and healthcare system of epic proportions.

Corporate Killers. How Bell Donates and Meta Profit From Canada's MAiD Suicide Crisis

Kelsi Sheren

This article was published by Kelsi Sheren on July 14 on her substack.

Dying With Dignity Canada is aggressively marketing suicide on social media, with Bell Donating and Meta profiting. It's corporate-sponsored death disguised as compassion.

By Kelsi Sheren

Did you know since June 2019, Dying With Dignity Canada (DWDC) has poured an outrageous amount of money $617,840 of tax payer and donor dollars into Facebook ads explicitly pushing their dangerous pro-death, pro quit agenda. Meanwhile, suicide prevention efforts that will save you and help get you the real help you deserve received significantly less funding ……only $394,286. Let that sink in, I’ll wait.

This isn't just an issue of ad spend, this is outright horrifying; it's absolutely disgraceful and nauseating at it’s core. DWDC claims to advocate for “compassion and dignity”, but their actions reveal a very disturbing truth, one that we already knew if you’ve read this Substack before. They’re aggressively marketing death. Facebook (Meta) isn't just a passive observer here, they’re actively profiting from these promotions. They take DWDC’s money without a second thought about the devastating consequences or how they are helping to shape an entire culture and generation into wanting death over life.

Ask yourself, why is promoting death now more lucrative and prioritized than saving lives? What twisted message does this send to Canadians struggling with mental health or chronic illness? Instead of hope, we're being fed a steady diet of despair, painting suicide as an easy and acceptable escape. This isn't compassion…. it’s exploitation of the vulnerable.

Now here's the disturbing kicker, because you know there’s always more dark disgusting people willing to promote a pro death organization like DWDC, so of course they don't stand alone. They're backed by Bell Canada, the very same company behind the widely publicized "Bell Let’s Talk" campaign for suicide prevention and mental health awareness. Yes, the same Bell Canada that presents itself as a champion for mental health quietly funnels money into an organization actively promoting medically assisted death.

This shocking contradiction isn’t just hypocritical, it’s a betrayal of every Canadian who believed in their sincerity. Which at this point is almost no one.

I want to be clear as to exactly what is happening and for the readers the link to look this up yourself (fully public information) is available below. DWDC’s promotional spending isn’t just irresponsible; it's dangerous and morally bankrupt, but we already knew that.

Canada is currently facing a moral crisis and has for sometime including a mental health crisis and opioid crisis, unlike anything we've seen before. With the rapid normalization of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID), we should all be terrified. Initially intended as a compassionate option for unbearable suffering, it's been warped into an aggressively marketed solution for vulnerable people, pushed relentlessly on social media. I was never for this then, and I’m sure as hell not for this now. The place people go to escape reality and find narratives to support their view point are online are on platforms like Facebook. So of course DWDC would target Canadians through Meta.

This aggressive social media campaign is no accident. DWDC, with deep pockets, connections to liberal MP’s and corporate allies, has turned the act of dying into a mainstream solution. They exploit vulnerable individuals, subtly suggesting their lives hold less value. It's morally indefensible, yet they continue unchecked.

So…. eugenics.

Bell Canada and Meta have blood on their hands, and have for some times. Bell’s dual roles as suicide prevention advocate and DWDC donor, are shockingly contradictory but I don’t hear anyone calling Bell out?? Meta’s willingness to profit from these ads speaks volumes about their ethical stance. Both entities need to be held accountable, publicly and immediately.

The corporate-backed promotion of suicide is one of Canada's darkest issues, representing an existential threat to our national ethics and integrity or what’s left of it. Instead of desperately needed healthcare reform, expanded mental health support, or improved counselling services, access to cutting edge treatment like psychedelics millions are spent nudging vulnerable Canadians toward death. I need people to step up with me here, no more silence, no more passive overly Canadian bs polite acceptance.

Canadians deserve real support and care, not corporate-sponsored coercion masquerading as dignity. I think its about time we expose these alliances publicly and demand immediate action. Every Canadian should be outraged and actively demanding transparency from DWDC, Bell Canada, and Meta.

This isn't just another controversy, it’s a battle for what’s left of the already broken soul of Canada. The aggressive marketing of medically assisted suicide through META has to stop.

Bell Canada and Meta are profiting from death. It's not dignity, never has been. It’s suicide porn and it’s influencing our next generation, convincing them that you cannot heal from treatment resistant illness.

Sorry Bell, DWDC. Unfortunately for you, I am someone who has.

I won’t stop until people see you for who you really are. Purveyors of corporate, state sponsored suicide and killing.

Genocide or Healthcare?

This article was published by Kelsi Sheren on July 7 on her substack.

“We were just doing our job”…..right, the Nazi’s said the same thing.

By Kelsi Sheren

AGAIN Canada’s true colours are showing and the medical system, government and every Dr that approved this poor soul to die have blood on their hands. There’s something deeply wrong with Canada and it’s medical system. I have been SCREAMING about people who fall through the cracks like this and we need to talk about it.

Right now.

Normand Meunier & Sylvie Brosseau

Meet Normand Meunier: 66 years old, quadriplegic, and fighting desperately just to get basic care at Quebec's Saint-Jérôme Hospital. Did he die peacefully or comfortably? Hell no. He died from pure, evil, cold neglect.

Normand’s final weeks were straight-up horrifying. His widow, Sylvie Brosseau, described bedsores so brutal “they exposed muscle and bone”, leaving him in relentless agony. Imagine lying there, day after day, suffering beyond comprehension, and all you needed was a specialized mattress, but of course it’s nowhere to be found because all of our money is in Carney’s pockets Israel, Ukraine and ANYWHERE BUT Canada. It’s a damn mattress! Canada, not rocket science. Your tax dollars, my tax dollars, all flowing into a healthcare system and other government’s. Canada has apparently forgotten how to care, keep people alive and all because of organizations like DWDC, MAID Canada and CAMAP are telling Dr they should just kill instead.

But wait, Canada, our great toxic compassionate nation, did have one immediate solution ready: DEATH.

"I don't want to be a burden," Normand said before choosing euthanasia. This line should shake you to your core. Our government has moved from failing to care, straight to actively encouraging death as the easy way out. Compassion? No. This is cold, strategic cruelty wrapped neatly in false kindness.

When MAiD was introduced, it was sold to Canadians as a humane option for those with terminal illnesses facing unbearable pain. Although some of us saw right through the BS and the real plan was obvious. Kill instead of care. What we've ended up with is nothing short of a bureaucratic killing machine and one that is insanely effectively. Almost like they’ve installed a “easy button” for the government. Cough, cough… sound’s like eugenics to me. Because if it walks like death, talk’s like death and kill’s like death. It’s eugenics.

Too disabled, elderly, chronically ill, or mentally struggling? Congratulations, you’re now inconvenient and expensive, so here’s your government-approved ticket out.

Canada's healthcare system has become disturbingly comfortable with death as policy. Steven Laperrière from RAPLIQ isn’t sugarcoating anything when he says, “MAiD is becoming an alternative to decent care, and the numbers will explode.” In simple terms, Canada finds it cheaper and easier to offer euthanasia than to actually care for people properly.

Think about it. “Nobody will convince me that within a few hours the proper mattress could not have been found,” Laperrière insists. Normand Meunier would likely be alive right now if our healthcare system wasn't so screwed up with red tape and government negligence.

But hey, why bother fixing a broken system when you can just offer to kill the people it fails?

Sadly, Normand isn't alone, and not even remotely close. Jean Truchon, another Quebec resident, pushed for expanded euthanasia laws. But guess what? He didn't actually want to die; he wanted better care. In 2016, he even admitted it clearly he wouldn't have chosen death if decent home care was available. Did the government pay attention? Nope. They praised him after his death, conveniently ignoring their responsibility to provide basic support.

Wake up, Canada! When are you going to take your head out of the sand and see, this isn’t oversight. It's deliberate. It's dark. Our government is failing citizens by design, fast-tracking death instead of ensuring dignity and care.

Countries around the world, especially the UK, need to see Canada as a stark, urgent warning. The second a government starts promoting death as a convenient solution, true care becomes expendable. Canada’s healthcare, once praised worldwide, has become a disgraceful system that reduces human lives to budget lines and liabilities.

We’re at a crucial tipping point. Canadians need to demand better, immediately. The government’s primary job isn’t to kill off those deemed inconvenient it’s to provide compassionate, effective, and dignified care to every single person.

We have to pay attention as to why no Canadian media picked this story up, it’s spoken about all over the UK but not the state funded media. Is it because this show’s Canadians and the rest of the world who our government really is? Stone cold murderers and anyone who is voting for this is complicit and in my opinion should be called out as one and charged.

This is no longer just about right and wrong, this is dark and light. There is a spiritual war happening here. MAiD, the Dr’s who do it and CAMAP are dark, evil and will be remembered as Canada’s modern day eugenicist.

“We were just doing our job”…..right, the Nazi’s said the same thing.

If we don’t speak up, and hold them accountable now, and demand this stop immediately, only one horrifying question remains.

Who’s next?

They Built a Death Chamber at a Catholic Hospital. You Paid for It

This article was published by Kelsi Sheren on her substack on June 17, 2025..

This Is Not Medicine. It’s Modern Extermination. Inside the St. Paul’s Death Chamber in a Catholic Hospital.

Kelsi Sheren

By Kelsi Sheren

Hey! Look over here!

Your taxes are building eugenics facilities!

St. Paul's hospital in BC has just installed a new killing centre. Now servicing BC patients' the government has decided are to expensive to actually care for. A Recent decision by the British Columbia government to forcibly establish MAiD killing centres adjacent to the Catholic operated St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver represents where Canada is at when it comes to helping its citizens. This is a unprecedented shift in Canada’s healthcare practices, raising profound ethical, religious, and societal concerns.

These new locations popping up across the country are designed for effective and fast killing. A one stop shop for death.

You come in and you never come out. This is Canadian health care…. so they say.

St. Paul's Hospital

In June 2023, pro death cult advocates significantly escalated their pressure campaign, utilizing the tragic case of Samantha O'Neill as leverage. If you haven’t heard of this case, let me give you the Coles notes. Samantha O’Neill had requested to be killed at St. Paul's Hospital, but in alignment with its longstanding Catholic ethical stance against euthanasia, the hospital transferred her compassionately to St. John's Hospice.

Instead of recognizing this action as a respectful accommodation of religious ethics and patient choice, the pro death cults of Canada leveraged intense media scrutiny to insist that Catholic hospitals should directly provide euthanasia, I.E. DEATH. They framed transfers as inhumane and insensitive. Just a quick side bar, I think killing someone is more inhumane and insensitive then moving some one, but I digress.

Shoreline Space

Naturally the weak BC government gave into the pressure and public controversy. By December 1, 2023, it expropriated land from Providence Health, the Catholic entity overseeing St. Paul's, and proceeded rapidly to construct a dedicated killing facility, now known as the "Shoreline Space." This facility, described as utilitarian and starkly institutional, sits discreetly (INTENTIONALLY) within an interior courtyard of the existing St. Paul's Hospital.

Hidden behind security fencing and gates, and shielded from public awareness. As do all bad things happen, hidden away from prying eyes and in the dark.

This structure symbolizes a horrific new reality: killing administered covertly yet deliberately close to faith-based medical institutions dedicated to preserving life.

Even more alarming is the government’s intention to replicate this controversial approach. Detailed investigative reporting by independent journalist Terry O'Neill uncovered evidence that planning for yet another killing facility is already well underway at the new St. Paul's Hospital, currently under construction at False Creek Flats. This new facility, expected to open by 2027, just in time for the new expansion of MAID in the mentally ill. This side example of health care will further embed killing in a setting historically committed to life-affirming care.

Internal emails and documents obtained through freedom-of-information requests reveal extensive logistical planning to ensure seamless integration of killing services, including specific requirements regarding proximity to the pharmacy, emergency services access, and even parking logistics.

The graphic and chilling reality extends beyond St. Paul's Hospital. O'Neill’s reporting has shown that Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) already operates MAiD facilities within buildings housing Catholic-run hospices, May’s Place and St. John Hospice, despite Providence Health’s explicit, longstanding prohibition against killing. Providence Health, constrained by contracts and lease agreements, remains powerless to prevent these facilities from operating so intimately close to their hospice patients, creating a profound ethical conflict and confusion for staff, patients, and families alike.

Grafeneck castle

Alex Schadenberg, executive director of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, highlights the chilling historical parallels to Germany's notorious Aktion T4 euthanasia program. Specifically, he references Grafeneck Castle, initially a compassionate Lutheran care facility forcibly expropriated by the Nazi regime to become the first euthanasia killing center. The similarities in governmental overreach, forcible land expropriation, and ethical disregard raise uncomfortable and necessary historical comparisons.

Vancouver physician Dr. Will Johnston further underscores the severity of these actions, characterizing the imposition of euthanasia-killing facilities into traditionally life-affirming spaces as an expression of governmental totalitarianism. Johnston argues that such policies demonstrate not inclusion or respect for diversity, but a dangerous intolerance toward those with conscientious objections, effectively marginalizing religious and ethical convictions from healthcare delivery.

The pro-death cult are jumping up and down, bragging at their events that they finally broke the only religious safe guard we had left. (This is true I have an audio recording I made while at one)

Louis Brier nursing home.

This is not the first either. “Dr” Ellen Wiebe has broken these rules before. She attempted to defend herself against allegations of "sneaking in and killing someone" at an orthodox Jewish nursing home. “

“The Louis Brier Nursing Home in Vancouver has issued a formal complaint with the B.C. College of Physicians and Surgeons against Dr. Ellen Wiebe after she granted 83-year-old Barry Hyman's request to die at the facility he calls home."

Long story short, she went in and MAIDED a man in a Jewish nursing home.

“Dr’s” like her don’t see why this is completely unacceptable.

As Canadians, we need to stop hiding behind what’s happening here and with this disturbing trajectory, we need to stand up. Why aren’t we urgently questioning our politicians and asking why all our tax dollars are going to perfecting and facilitating killing centres but not hospitals.

Why are we adding more locations to increase death and not health care?

Why are we not asking our community how they feel about people being brought into a hiding building, never to come out again?

Why are we standing by as Canada becomes the eugenics capital of the world.

Why are we allowing these pro death cult bullies to come after our only remaining religious strongholds??

Ill tell you why we aren’t, because the dark is scary.

It’s terrifying if I’m being honest, because these people and this government have made it clear that they don’t actually want to help people, they want to remove the “burdens” from our society. They want to cut out the vulnerable and those who can no longer protect themselves, those whose families have given up on them due to overbearing medical costs or care giver burnout.

Canada showed its hand when it began prioritizing death over life by building facilities specifically for killing and cutting funding for those needed for healing.

And now we will begin eradicating anyone who even looks a little ill, because if you are not lonely enough, desperate enough, poor enough, sick enough or mentally unwell yet.

Give it time, the way this country is going.

It’s only a matter of time.

Scheduled to Die. Signed and Sealed.

By Kelsi Sheren

Canada: Home of the most efficient killers.

Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program was “supposed” to be about compassion, offering dignity and choice to people at the end of their lives. Lies, it’s always been nothing but lies from the very start. It’s always been about killing. Somewhere along the way our society has taken a dark turn back to the time when eugenics was normalized. I thought this idea of killing our people for being disabled, injured or suffering was over. Turns out I wasn’t just wrong, I missed the mark completely. Eugenics has never ever stopped, it’s just been done quietly in the dark and done to people who will never be able to speak because…. Well, MAID = DEATH and you can’t complain when you're dead now can you?

Instead of a compassionate last resort, MAiD has become a symptom of our societal failure, an escape hatch offered to vulnerable individuals we’d rather ignore than support and our government wants to do anything it can to stop supporting you.

Take Kiano Vafaeian’s case. At just 23 years old, Kiano wasn’t terminally ill. He was diabetic, partially blind, and severely depressed. These conditions are profoundly challenging, yes, but are they reasons for a state-sanctioned murder? His mother, Margaret Marsilla, found out about his planned euthanasia by accident, stumbling across the approval in his emails. She wasn’t informed by medical professionals or social services. No alarm bells rang. No safeguards in place. The system simply moved forward, silent and indifferent, ready to quietly eliminate what it saw as a "problem" rather than confront the underlying issues.

Remember they DO NOT HAVE TO CONTACT FAMILY, and as Ellen Wiebe the head executioner of Canada said: 

“People ask me why and I think, well, doctors like grateful patients, and nobody is more grateful than my patients now and their families,” 

Carr interviewing Wiebe

She tells Liz Carr, though that’s not always necessarily so. 

“We know that angry family members are our greatest risk” (National Post article link).

Margaret had to fight desperately to save her son's life, resorting to impersonating a patient to uncover the chilling ease of accessing assisted death. How has it come to this? A mother must battle her own government to keep her child alive? What does this say about the priorities of a system that would rather expedite death than offer comprehensive support and care? I’ll tell you exactly what it says.

WE DON’T CARE. We do not care if your son is struggling, he is a burden to our society so he must go and we will do it behind your back. Their favourite part, is there’s not a damn thing you can do to stop it. You can try, but good luck.

This story isn’t isolated, not even a little unfortunately. It speaks to a profound rot within our society, a rot where the vulnerable are viewed as disposable, burdensome inconveniences rather than human beings deserving dignity and support. When a young man’s pain is so readily met with death instead of help, we have failed. We have failed Kiano, we have failed Margaret, and we have failed ourselves. We have lost sight of our shared responsibility to each other, allowing bureaucratic convenience to triumph over human empathy. I’d agree it’s no longer about convenience either, with over 1800 killers in Canada, roughly 300 do all the killing. That means in 2023 with the death tally over 13,000 people who were murdered, they were taken out by roughly 300 people.

Now if you were in the military, like I was and you had killed that many people on your own. Not only would we be questioning your mental health but questioning a lot more than that. But because these are “doctors” we say its compassion.

I call bullshit. These “doctors” are enjoying this, far far too much.

We pride ourselves as Canadians on being compassionate and inclusive, yet we’re abandoning those who need us most while we crumble under policies that have broken our country in half. Instead of investing in mental health services, social support, and disability care, our leaders choose a cheaper, colder route. MAiD = murder, once carefully bounded, now creeps into a territory where depression, poverty, and disability alone WILL justify ending a life. This isn't compassion. It's negligence dressed up as mercy.

Our society has become desensitized to suffering, choosing convenience and cost-saving over genuine care and compassion. How many others like Kiano have faced similar battles without a Margaret fighting tirelessly in their corner? How many have silently slipped through the cracks, never receiving the attention, care, or advocacy they deserved?

We need to look deeply at ourselves and our values. Are we comfortable living in a society where death is offered as an alternative to adequate support? Are we okay telling someone that their existence is too costly, too inconvenient? Are we prepared to admit our government’s failure in creating a society where people feel their lives are not worth living simply because they have been left behind by the systems meant to protect them?

So I ask you, will you stand up now

Or

Will you wait until your family finds a hidden email or letter, or when they call to say your loved one, child or friend was just murdered before you call you MP’s and say this stops NOW.

We have the power to stop this, will you help?

Kelsi Sheren, relentless in the pursuit of life and never MAID.

Canada's euthanasia lobby is pushing for child euthanasia.

Alex Schadenberg
Executive Director, Euthanasia Prevention Coalition

Kelsi Sheren, on Twitter, commented on the lobbying by euthanasia groups to legalize euthanasia for "mature minors" (children) in Canada.

The response to her social media was phenomenal but it also elicited a response from some euthanasia lobby leaders who accused Sheren of fear mongering and not getting her facts straight.

Sheren responded with a link to a Global news story from February 16, 2023 reporting on the Canadian government Special Joint Committee on Medical Assistance in Dying (AMAD) released a report calling for the expansion of euthanasia (MAiD) to include mature minors.

Euthanasia for "mature minors" (children) is not legal in Canada but the issue of child euthanasia is being promoted by Canada's euthanasia lobby and a federal government committee recommended on February 15, 2023 that euthanasia be extended to "mature minors."

I responded to the February 15, 2023 (AMAD) report by stating:

The report by the Special Joint Committee on Medical Assistance in Dying (AMAD) was tabled in the House of Commons on February 15, 2023 calling for a drastic expansion of euthanasia (MAiD) in Canada. Among the recommendations, the report recommended that euthanasia be expanded to include children "mature minors."

Recommendation 19 in the report stated:

That the Government of Canada establish a requirement that, where appropriate, the parents or guardians of a mature minor be consulted in the course of the assessment process for MAID, but that the will of a minor who is found to have the requisite decision-making capacity ultimately take priority.

This means that parents or guardians may or may not be consulted, in the euthanasia death of a child that is deemed to have decision-making capacity.

To understand Recommendation 19 better we need to go back to the draft policy developed by the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto on euthanasia for "mature minors" that was published as a report in the Journal of Medical Ethics in September 2018.

• Article: Sick Kids Hospital Toronto will euthanize children with or without parental consent (Link).

Sick Children's hospital draft policy applied the same "ethics" for mature minors to make medical decisions as for making a decision to be killed. 

The draft policy by Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children set out what can be expected if Canada permits euthanasia for children (mature minors).

Children who are deemed, by their physician, as competent to make medical decisions would also be deemed competent to decide, with or without the consent of their parents, to be killed by lethal injection.

The Canadian government report suggested that child euthanasia and euthanasia of incompetent people by advance request be permitted. Both of these issues fundamental change the meaning of consent.

Child euthanasia is wrong, based on the meaning of effective consent.

Euthanasia is wrong because it enables doctors and nurse practitioners to literally kill their patients.

Your Taxes, Their Death.

The following opinion article was published by Kelsi Sheren on her substack on May 1, 2025.

Kelsi Sheren

By Kelsi Sheren

You're paying to kill your neighbours.

I've had some time since the election to really sit with what just happened and honestly, I'm still dumbfounded by the collective decision made by those who voted Liberal. But instead of just stewing in disbelief, I wanted to dig deeper and confront what we're truly seeing here.

Canada feels like it's trapped in a bizarre, decade-long abusive relationship with its own government, a toxic cycle reminiscent of Stockholm syndrome. Since Canadians once again chose to re-elect a Liberal government, it’s important that we tell everyone know what they just co-signed.

Most of you reading my work already know my mission: exposing uncomfortable truths and confronting the issues plaguing Canada and the world. Right now and for the foreseeable future my focus is the disturbing expansion of the pro death movement and MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying). This issue hit’s close to home for many reasons, and I thought you’d all like to know where a decent amount of your hard earned money is going. Even if you're someone who believes in MAiD, you owe it to yourself to understand what's really happening isn’t some beautiful thing, this isn't compassion.

It’s commodification.

Do you honestly think the government would let something like a recession interfere with one of its most profitable industries? Death is recession proof. Death is profitable and in Canada, death is generously funded with YOUR tax dollars. We’ve been conditioned to look away, convinced this is about dignity, compassion, and personal choice. Canada is the “free people society” where we can have anything! but peel back the layers, and you’ll find something so dark, so sinister and anything but compassion. A slick government-funded death industry propped up by grants, lobbyists, and carefully sanitized bureaucratic language.

It’s singular purpose?

Normalizing and expanding state-sanctioned death.

Yes, killing.

As a form of healthcare.

KILLING.

Let’s look at the MAiD industrial complex and where your money really goes and who is actually profiting from it.

Dying With Dignity Canada (DWDC)

Far from grassroots, this influential pro-euthanasia, pro death, pro giving up group received $204,655 in 2021 and $222,077 in 2020 directly from the government, your tax money. Nearly half a million dollars funnelled into lobbying and advocacy aimed at expanding death.

Not for mental health

Not for supportive housing

Not for palliative care

Just straight propaganda convincing Canadians they should die.

Canadian Association of MAiD Assessors & Providers (CAMAP)

The Liberal government handed CAMAP $3.3 million to develop MAiD training programs. Sit on this one for a second. MILLIONS spent to build a pipeline of “providers” incentivized to say "yes" to killing. Healthcare has become an industry not unlike the military industrial complex but designed as “healthcare” Geared to maximize profit by scaling up the practice of killing. More killers, more deaths, more efficiency—and yes, horrifyingly, more profit.

MAiDHouse …..yes a whole building. 2 actually. 1 in Victoria BC and 1 in Toronto. Yes, this exists. A supposed "charity," explicitly established in 2019 to facilitate KILLING. No hospice care, no healing programs just a carefully crafted, boutique environment dedicated entirely to death, financed by your money.

Imagine for a minute if even a fraction of these millions went toward genuine solutions, mental health resources, veteran support, trauma recovery, or housing initiatives.

Think about how many lives could have been transformed or saved. But there’s no profit in healing, is there? Here’s what Canadians who just don’t understand, your taxes actively fund organizations dedicated to facilitating death over life for vulnerable populations. Are you aware that while you or loved ones struggle to access timely mental health care, taxpayer-funded organizations actively present death as the quicker alternative?

Do you know they’re expanding MAiD for mental illness only in 2027 and lobbying to include eligibility to “mature” minors … these are your children.

This isn’t conspiracy, it’s our reality. It’s Canada’s quietly expanding euthanasia empire, thriving because of YOUR taxes. If I were you. I’d start asking why is accessing euthanasia easier than getting trauma therapy?

Why are we fast-tracking death while mental health care remains underfunded and inaccessible? Why are millions spent training killers instead of investing in supportive housing, poverty reduction, or hospice care? WHY!!! do we call it “dying with dignity” when people often choose death out of poverty, neglect, and untreated emotional pain?

Here’s the real answer.

HEALING IS COSTLY.

Allowing or encouraging them to die is cheap.

This isn’t about “personal dignity” or compassion. It's calculated hopelessness. It's about quietly removing individuals deemed too expensive or burdensome, all disguised as mercy and compassion.

It’s state-approved despair, neatly packaged for public acceptance. You're being sold a narrative carefully crafted to feel compassionate, supported by so-called charities, and bankrolled by you, the good, nice taxpayer.

WAKE UP.

You're funding a death cult, maybe not by choice, but definitely by default. Here’s the thing, in my coaching practice I learned quickly that once you become aware of a behaviour you now have the chance to change something.

I’ve now made you, the readers aware of what you're funding

What are you going to do about it?

Demand that your tax dollars fund life, not death. Start asking the hard questions. Demand accountability. Demand transparency. Follow your money.

Because if we remain silent, the next expansion might target someone you love.

Or worse, it will be you.

Offering veterans MAiD instead of healthcare.

This article was published by Kelsi Sheren on her substack on April 25, 2025.

Kelsi Sheren

By Kelsi Sheren.

Big shocker Veteran’s Affairs is at it again, the Canadian government, since 2022, is failing our veterans in the most disgusting and disgraceful way possible: by offering them death care instead of healthcare! But Kelsi?! didn’t they say they aren’t doing that anymore?? Yes they sure did, once again Liberal lies. Are we surprised honestly?

In a chilling repeat of a disturbing trend, another Canadian combat veteran has been offered medically assisted suicide (MAiD) instead of genuine support and treatment. My question is when did ending lives become an acceptable, even routine, solution for our veterans suffering from trauma, PTSD, or any other physical and mental health challenges? When did offering death become an easier alternative than providing the comprehensive care our veterans desperately deserve, care we know exists but are unwilling to use or fund.

Veterans, in my opinion deserve compassion, proper treatment, respect, dignity, and unwavering support, but thats just me I guess. We should NEVER be offering an off-ramp to the grave. This continues to be a disturbing, even horrifying trend that not even the Veteran Affairs Minister is aware of. To think that some government case managers, those specifically entrusted with the sacred duty of caring for our veterans, would even contemplate suicide as an option rather than investing the necessary time, resources, and genuine effort into authentic healing and recovery is insane. Our veterans fought and continue to fight for life and liberty and now for their own country to later suggest ending their life. This is one of the dangers on continuing to talk about MAiD as some “life saving amazing program!”

This story, not one we haven’t heard before but were promised would “never happen again” to a sinister and growing pattern, the Liberal government is a profound failure on several fronts. Failing in its moral, ethical, and basic human obligations to protect and care for those who willingly put their lives on the line for our freedoms. I do love how they continue to want to send us to other countries to fight, while pulling this bullshit and asking.. why are retention rates so low?! How could that be?!

What they should be asking themselves is how can we possibly trust a system that suggests death as a viable, acceptable solution? The very thought undermines the trust veterans and their families should rightly place in their government and healthcare system.

So, what can we do to rectify this continued failure? Fire everyone? Restart?

First, a good place to start would be to stop selling veteran’s out to Manulife Insurance and ACTUALLY support them! Next, there must be absolute, unequivocal accountability at every level. (Which we know won’t happen, but hey I’m just a combat veteran who is preaching accountability, something this government knows absolutely nothing about”

Case managers should never, under any circumstances, be authorized or empowered to suggest medical suicide. These case managers need to be made examples of because in 2022 when they were caught the first time, not a damn thing was done.

Counselling suicide should be crystal clear, explicitly stated in operational guidelines, and communicated with zero ambiguity. The word is NO! WE NEVER SUGGEST SOMEONE DIES instead of helping them. Next I would implement mandatory, rigorous oversight and thorough mental health training programs specifically designed around trauma-informed care, ensuring that case managers fully understand their critical role in protecting, preserving, and supporting veterans' lives.

Additionally, complete transparency in reporting any incidents or breaches is non-negotiable, alongside swift and public accountability measures, and what I really mean is heads on spikes. There must be an unequivocal, zero tolerance policy for anyone who recommends death over dedicated, thorough, and compassionate care and support.

Lastly, why is the VA not asking Veterans what they really want to see change? Why is this only done behind closed doors, where only government officials whom not a single one is a veteran by the way are speaking for us. We need to be actively involving veterans themselves in shaping our policies and procedures that directly impact their care, we need to ensure our voices and experiences are genuinely heard and respected.

This is not simply about revising policy, this is fundamentally about basic human decency, dignity, and respect.

It is far beyond time for Canada to truly step up, reform its priorities, and genuinely care for its veterans. Anything less than complete dedication to safeguarding their lives, health, and well-being is a betrayal of every sacrifice our veterans have ever made.

And trust me, the majority of Veterans in this country including myself are nothing but ashamed of this government, how they treat us and how they have hung every single one of us out to dry.

At this point, I’m shocked they don’t just mail us the noose’s themselves.

Kelsi Sheren: I'm done staying quiet.

Alex Schadenberg
Executive Director, Euthanasia Prevention Coalition

Kelsi Sheren

Kelsi Sheren has published excellent articles on euthanasia. Her current article is excellent but long. I am republishing key points from her current article. 

Kelsi begins her article by pointing out how the euthanasia lobby has challenged her:

Recently, a Substack article "attempted" to frame me as callous and indifferent towards individuals suffering from mental illness, selectively quoting me to serve their narrative from my episode on Triggernometry with Konstantin Kisin and Francis Foster. I was bored with some time, so I figured take some time months after the pro death cult made a run at my character for the millionth time. Which I guess I should be thanking them for the views. More people now have had their minds changed and eyes opened to what MAiD really is. Eugenics.

Sheren comments on the misrepresentation of her statement: "OK, go kill yourself. If that’s what you want."

This quote, taken from a much longer conversation, was an expression of frustration toward a system that encourages DEATH AND SUICIDE rather than PREVENTS suicide. You've always had the right to go take your life, but my issue is more around the fact that there are people promoting death and telling us that dying is somehow healthcare. I've never uttered any endorsement or encouragement of suicide itself. The purpose of my advocacy has never been to diminish or disregard genuine suffering—it's specifically targeted against government-sanctioned pathways that normalize suicide instead of prioritizing robust and comprehensive mental health support. What I find so fascinating, is that pro death, pro killing organizations have the audacity to say I'm promoting suicide... have they looked in the mirror lately?

Sheren explains why she is standing against the death movement:

My entire platform is built upon genuine compassion, empathy, and the imperative to protect the most vulnerable among us from a system that increasingly promotes death as an easy solution and frankly the only solution to the world's stressors since expanding to Track 2 in 2021. I have been working to stop suicide in my community since 2015 when I started Brass & Unity.

As a 100% disabled combat veteran diagnosed with PTSD and traumatic brain injury (TBI), my intimate understanding of REAL pain, suffering, trauma, and suicidal ideation is profoundly personal, so much so that my career was ended from what I had seen and done in war. Taking a life is nothing small and yet we are turning our healthcare providers into serial killers.

Sheren continues:

To suggest I would intentionally dismiss anyone's suffering or pain is fundamentally dishonest and deeply disrespectful to my lived experiences and struggles, but this is not a shock to see, knowing where it's coming from. The depth of my personal experience underscores my very serious commitment to advocating for life-affirming care that addresses the root causes of despair rather than treating individuals as expendable or as inconveniences to society. Personally all I see as of late is "healthcare practitioners" pushing death in numbers that deserve attention, question and scrutiny.

Sheren is committed to suicide prevention not assisted death:

My advocacy in suicide prevention has always been and will always prioritize compassionate, effective treatment and healing over expedient and cold bureaucratic approaches, especially because there are so many solutions that the pro death cult's refuse to acknowledge that exist. Death to them is always the answer, and that's just not true. But I will also be dead honest about the real feelings and depths. I will never sugarcoat any of what MAiD is to make other people feel better, Canadian's need a reality check.

Sheren then deals with the assertion that she is not willing to debate the issue:

None of this is compassion, none of this is acceptable and if you want to have the option to die, you can do that but in no way should it EVER be a form of "healthcare" the way its being slow dripped by the Canadian Government. Contrary to claims made by same critics that I avoid scrutiny or challenging discussions, my public record clearly demonstrates my consistent engagement with a wide range of perspectives and challenging forums, so to suggest I am unwilling to discuss the subject against people who don't agree is just not true, I just won't give any of the pro death cults a platform to convince more people they should die.

A few good examples of this is my detailed discussions with thought leaders like Jordan Peterson and appearances on a ton of other public platforms that pretty clearly show a willingness to confront and thoughtfully debate issues head-on. I enthusiastically welcome rigorous, good-faith debates that encourage constructive dialogue. However, I refuse to participate in orchestrated attempts to smear my character or discredit my legitimate concerns simply to silence meaningful dissent or avoid facing uncomfortable truths about MAiD policies. I've stood in front of real malevolence and I know what darkness looks like, I have no issue facing hard conversations or truths.

Sheren then explains how the euthanasia lobby acts in a predatory manner as they "target the vulnerable and then do everything they can to convince people that death is the solution for all of their problems." She then states how her involvement is leading to change.

These groups portrayal intentionally misrepresents my position entirely and of course they will continue to. We have made too much noise, we have caused people to change their minds and we have saved people from ending their lives prematurely. People are not a burden, people in all their forms are humans who deserve compassion and SUPPORT!

Sheren commits to being an even louder voice.

My advocacy remains the same and will only continue to get bigger and LOUDER. People are waking up to what these groups of humans do, manipulate and coerce others into death. We choose life, and light. We choose supporting genuinely vulnerable Canadians requires prioritizing compassionate, effective mental health care and genuine treatment options over bureaucratic expediency and the disturbing normalization of death as a solution. My mission is unequivocally focused on ensuring REAL dignity, safety, and compassion through affirming life—not facilitating death.

My dedication to exposing these people is just the beginning and I will take this on until we show everyone what this is really about. Despite any attempts to distort or undermine my message.

Sheren expects the death lobby to continue attacking her. She then writes:

It's just showing people who you (they) really are.

Maclean's Magazine: Canada's New Home for Death Porn?

This article was published by Kelsi Sheren on April 8, 2025

Kelsi Sheren

By Kelsi Sheren

Yes, Yes they are.

Maclean's recent article advocating for the inclusion of individuals with mental disorders in Canada's Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program isn't just controversial—it's dangerously unethical, manipulative, fundamentally dark and sinister.

Maclean’s is very quickly gaining a reputation for promoting death porn and suggesting that those suffering mental illnesses should have access to assisted dying. They are once again choosing to send a chilling message to it’s readers, which at this point I doubt are many. They implicitly suggests that lives affected by mental health conditions are less valuable, less deserving of intensive care, treatment, or societal compassion.

In the most recent article promoting and manipulating it’s readers is their attempt to frame suicide as a legitimate option for those struggling with mental health, when all this really shows is Maclean's constant attempt at devaluing the lives of the mentally ill, effectively promoting hopelessness rather than hope.

Imagine the devastating effect on a vulnerable individual reading that their life is considered disposable or irrecoverable by society. This undermines decades of work aimed at destigmatizing mental illness and reinforces dangerous stereotypes about mental health struggles being inherently hopeless. While reading there most recent article I couldn’t help but notice the add for “war amps” on their site, which makes me laugh a bit because people who aren’t perfect are exactly what this magazine is attempting to suggest are disposable.

This magazine continues to frame the argument that people with mental illness are “irremediable”. In the Maclean’s article the concept of "irremediable" mental illness is a wild one. This position is scientifically and ethically unsound. Mental illness, unlike terminal physical illness, is complex, dynamic, and subject to significant change and improvement over time.

Mental illnesses such as depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia can indeed be severe and debilitating. But the nature of these illnesses is often fluctuating, with many sufferers experiencing meaningful recovery after proper care, therapy, medication, lifestyle changes, and even innovative treatments like psychedelics.

To label someone’s mental condition as "irremediable" is both wildly misleading and irresponsible, but this magazine seems to have no soul and seems quite alright with removing the very hope necessary for recovery and invalidates the lived experiences of countless individual’s who have successfully recovered from severe mental health episodes.

As someone who has personally overcome suicidal thoughts and severe mental health struggles, I can affirm that recovery and healing are possible. At my lowest point, it felt impossible to see a way forward, but with appropriate support, therapy, community, plant medicine and determination, I found a path out of that darkness. But according to this article Maclean’s wrote, I would have been considered “irremediable” and If I had seen this story over the 10 years of struggling with my mental health, then I'm sure I would have lost hope too. They are contributing to the idea that there is nothing left to live for so why the fuck should we even try mentality.

The thing is my story isn't unique; countless others have walked similar journeys, reclaiming their lives and thriving beyond their struggles.

To advocate for MAID as an option for mental health conditions fundamentally denies stories like mine and many others, wrongly presenting death as an inevitable or acceptable outcome rather than encouraging genuine healing and recovery.

Expanding MAID to mental illness sets a dangerous and dark cliff people will easily jump off of once we remove the responsibility of being the person to take our own life. A lot of the reason people stop before they attempt suicide is the FEAR or pain and what death will feel like. MAID and the “Dr’s” that do this dangle the carrot like a prize, removing the burden from the person and offering an easy way out.

Initially positioned as compassion, this policy change quickly risks becoming a tool of coercion, especially for marginalized and economically vulnerable groups, something we are continuously seeing in Canada and will continue to see as our healthcare system and country crumble to the ground.

Individuals suffering from severe mental health issues also face compounded struggles—economic hardship, isolation, lack of family support, or chronic homelessness. Offering MAID to these individuals coerces vulnerable people into viewing suicide as a reasonable escape from systemic failures and insufficient social support.

This has never once been about compassionate care. It’s darker than that more sinister and the reality is, is that it’s an abandonment of society’s moral responsibility to provide robust and holistic support systems. MAID has becomes not a tool of autonomy but a grim solution offered by a liberal government who is unwilling to invest adequately in mental health care but will send hundreds of millions of dollars overseas, to support ANYONE BUT it’s citizen’s.

The role of psychiatrists and mental health practitioners is to preserve life, treat illness, and support recovery. Maclean’s advocacy fundamentally conflicts with these professional ethics. Asking mental health professionals to facilitate MAID turn’s healer’s into facilitators of death and we are essentially making all healthcare practitioners EXECUTIONERS. Trained killers, guns for hire and instead of using a gun which would be more humane in my opinion. We are giving them government funded-non FDA approved drugs to inject into the veins of the vulnerable victims of people that have been convinced that death is the only option by people DWD and Macleans.

This ethical dilemma isn't abstract. It poses real-world risks of eroding trust in mental health services. People are hesitating to seek help, fearing their mental health struggles might qualify them for assisted dying rather than compassionate treatment, and we are seeing this time and time again. This scenario undermines the very fabric of mental health care, turning hospitals and therapists’ offices from sanctuaries of healing into environments potentially perceived as threats.

Beneath the surface, this debate is marred by an alarming economic incentive. Promoting MAID as an acceptable choice for mental illness is conveniently become a cost-saving measure for overwhelmed healthcare systems and governmental budgets by the liberal government.

Providing comprehensive mental health support, including therapy, long-term care, psychiatric assistance, and social programs, requires substantial investment, an investment the Canadian government is unwilling to make. Although they seem to have no issue making that investment on illegal immigrants who don’t pay taxes, lining the CBC’s pockets, and helping any country besides it own. MAID, by contrast, is inexpensive and expedient. Allowing individuals struggling with mental illness to access MAID has become a financially attractive alternative to addressing underlying systemic and societal shortcomings.

This hidden economic agenda is morally reprehensible, sacrificing human dignity and life at the altar of fiscal expediency, but at this point no one is surprised.

The language used in Maclean’s and similar articles often subtly manipulates public opinion, masking a morally and ethically complex issue behind words like "compassion," "dignity," and "choice." But true compassion would emphasize support, care, and recovery—not present suicide as a rational option.

Macleans is no longer rational journalism and frankly hasn’t been for some time. It’s now bought and paid for suicide porn for the sick, unwell and sad.
