Something else was just set free in Canada, actually in 2015, but it has now slid down the slippery slope to something that I think everyone really needs to understand here. So how this started in 2015, there was a Supreme Court case in Canada, Carter v. Canada. This was a woman with a fatal neurodegenerative disease, and she wanted to have physicians assisted suicide. And at that time, if a doctor were to offer that, that would be homicide. So the doctor would be charged with homicide under that current Canadian law. So in the court documents it says this. The trial judge found that the prohibition against physician-assisted dying violates the S-7 rights of competent adults who are suffering intolerably as a result of a grievous and irremediable medical condition and concluded that this infringement is not justified under S-1 of the charter. This goes on to say an absolute prohibition on physicians-assisted dying is rationally connected to the goal of protecting the vulnerable from taking.

their life in times of weakness because prohibiting an activity that poses certain risks is a rational method of curtailing the risk. However, as the trial judge found, the evidence does not support the contention that a blanket prohibition is necessary in order to substantially meet the government's objective. So they're basically saying, we don't have to have this blanket prohibition anymore. So they instructed the government to go back and figure out a way to not have this blanket prohibition. So the Trudeau government went back and this was the headline just a year later out of the New York times. Canadian Prime Minister seeks to legalize assisted suicide in Canada. This is called Bill C-14. And the parameters of that bill were a person had to have a serious and incurable illness.

They also had to have a natural death to be reasonably foreseeable in the near future. Well, that all changed in 2021. A new law in addition to that bill in the name of Bill C-7 came about. And this is what it did here. Let's go to Canada's website. This was on March of 2021. Canada changed the, it's called Maid legislation and became law in a new form. And it says here, the law no longer requires a person's natural death to be reasonably foreseeable as an eligible criterion for made. So now we're expanding this boundary. Now it's not just the terminal patients. Now it's this enter the slippery slope.

Right. And so right before this bill, this C7 bill came into effect. an interesting thing happened. Canada's parliamentary budget office put forth this report. It was a cost estimate for Bill C7, medical assistance and dying. And it gave this table here. It's table 3-2. And it says here, if you look under subtotal incremental net reduction in costs under Bill C-7, they're estimating $62 million will be saved. So they have a gross reduction in health care cost of 66.5. million minus the cost of administering made which is negative 4.4 million so government's saying hey look we can save 62 million dollars so that is interesting well i mean when you look at that moment though i

mean that is a serious turning point you're going from this being an ethical discussion should we or should we not allow people to use you know this assisted suicide then all of a sudden the government as it's starting to open up to that says hey by the way there's a great cost benefit to allowing this all of a sudden now the entire conversation and the motivations behind it need to be questioned, I think. Right. And so for the first time, we have the government looking at human life through the lens of their pocketbook. And we have a lot of examples of the undesirable ways throughout history that that really turns out. So moving forward, we're starting to get headlines now that look like this. This is out of the spectator. Why is Canada euthanizing the poor? And this is one of the headlines they use.

It says, woman with chemical sensitivities choose medical assisted death after failed bid to get better housing. This is an Ontario woman with chemical sensitivities. That was a chronic condition. She couldn't find affordable housing. And she had back and forth letters for two years with the government, with the housing department and the Canadian government, Ontario, trying to get into better housing. And she wasn't able to afford it. She wasn't able to get it through government subsidies. And so that was the first, I believe the first woman in the world to, or first person in the world to,

have this happen. But now, let's fast forward to this year in July. We have published by Health Canada. We have the annual report for this medical assisted death, basically, in Canada. And it says here in this report, in 2021, there were 10,064 made provisions reported in Canada, accounting for 3.3% of all deaths in Canada. And you see this chart here. This isn't a chart that accompanied that report. In 2016 is when it was activated after that Supreme Court decision. And you can see this step process going up and up and up. And in 2021, you have over 10,000 people that have chosen to do this. And you notice there's a little sliver there in red.

What that represents is for the first time we have non-reasonable, foreseeable natural death. So in that category, in this actual report, some of the reasoning is loneliness, isolation, poor. The word poor is actually a choice, loss of quality of life and remember this is directly in the middle or coming off COVID restrictions in a country with some of the most strict COVID restrictions in the world. So again, the slippery slope continues. And now one of the big reasons we're reporting on this is this is an issue we saw with the vaccination conversation was mature minors being able to make their own decisions and you're going to

say, well, not for this decision. Oh yeah, there's an interim report for this and the government is studying it. And this is what it looks like right here. Medical assistance in dying and mental disorders as the sole underlying condition. So it's, it's, mental disorders are set to become legal in Canada in March of 2023 as a condition for to get on this pathway. But looking further in this report, what else are they studying? It says here, the committee, the committee that was assembled for this, was recreated in March of 2022 and tasked with reviewing the provisions of the criminal code relating to medical assistance and dying and their application, including but not limited to issues relating to mature minors, advance requests, and mental illnesses. So we have now kids being able to make

their own decision at this point. Now, this report is due for the mature minors on October 17th. So it's very important for anybody in Canada that wants to voice an opinion on this, to really watch for this because so far we're two for two, what these reports suggest, the government implements. So if they suggest mature minors, given the green light, the AOK on October 17th, it's reasonably foreseeable that they will green light this for mature miners. So this is what we're looking at in Canada right now. You can't help but think about eugenics here. Like you see that slippery slope how it began. I've been one of those, I mean, through the years, I mean, and looking at the story when we started discussing it, I thought, well, I've always been for, you know, humane, euthanasia,

for people. If that's what they desire, I mean, you can throw yourself off a building, I suppose, but why not make it a peaceful, beautiful space if you're dying? But the idea that I'm having a bad week or I'm depressed or I'm broke right now where I can't get in the housing I want, or looking at younger, you know, what they call mature youth, whatever that means. And then you see all the do not resuscitate orders that we were seeing throughout COVID in Canada, in America,

and you start seeing a much different picture. And all the headlines, so many different headlines. Check out this one we saw in Canada. The Vancouver woman with disabilities living in pain, forcing the debt, seeks medically assisted dying. So now she doesn't want to die, but her monthly income, even with temporary COVID-19 error increases, is not enough to keep her in a pain threshold

that's bearable. When her credit runs out, she will have to stop taking supplements, receiving physiotherapy, and intravenous naturopathic treatments, she says they're finally helping her find balance. So are we at a place now where we talk about the thing that bankrupts people more than anything else in America, is, you know, health conditions.

Can you imagine, well, you know, we're not going to help you, you know, get out of your problem with the debt you or the hospital. You're going to be in debt, but there is a solution we can offer you. We could euthanize you. We'll play some really nice music and just end your life right here. How many people under those very stressful, dramatic, depressing moments would take that option. I mean, wouldn't be forced on you, but you could see how it could be utilized to just start removing giant swaths of the population that frankly maybe were overbilled for stuff that didn't

help them get healthy. I mean, this whole thing really, really is, again, we keep talking about that globalist agenda and how can you not be afraid of where this is going in Canada?
