Canada is lost

Most people in Canada are familiar with this case. They were not images of kids at an amusement park or trick or treating.

I suppose I should have added the word sickening ahead of images for the American posters.

Mark Carney will not use the notwithstanding clause either.

Why would a government be more interested in protecting the "rights" of pedophiles than they would be in protecting the right to peaceful protest?

Canada already has one of the world's most expansive and permissive euthanasia programs. Under current law, adults don't even need a terminal illness to apply for Medical Assistance in Dying. Chronic illnesses and disabilities are qualifying conditions as long as the patient is of sound mind.

But some advocacy organizations, such as Dying with Dignity Canada, want the law to be expanded to include "mature minors" — youth as young as 12, who they argue can demonstrate full decision-making capacity, with added "safeguards" such as mandatory parental consent for teens 15 and younger. Sixteen- and 17-year-olds, they argue, are mature enough to agree to be euthanized without their parents' permission.
