A PJ Media post alleges that there is an Evangelical Fellowship of Canada “brochure” from 2024, still circulating, that is in opposition to that nation’s Medical Assistance In Dying (MAID) program.
That sounds right on its face, but there’s more.
The brochure reportedly states:
A special committee of MPs and senators studying MAiD has recommended allowing MAiD for mature minors. A mature minor is a child or teen who is deemed capable of making a decision for MAiD. This would essentially remove the minimum age of eligibility.
Not shocked and appalled enough? Read on:
The committee also suggested parents may not be consulted and wouldn’t need to consent to their child’s death via MAiD.”
So, the government could kill your child without even consulting you?
Would this be a hallmark of an “advanced” society? Or the mark of an utterly depraved one? I’d say this might be a slippery slope, but in truth there wouldn’t be any slope left, because the society would then already be at rock bottom.
The West is flogging itself and cannot — or will not -- produce enough kids to maintain its population. (And a disturbingly high percentage of the rest of the world seems to be in a death cult, be it Islam, Arab, or otherwise.)
This does not bode well for the future of humanity.
That even an essentially socialist government is reportedly considering this is beyond repulsive.
No government has the right to decide who lives or dies based on the health of its citizens. And it certainly doesn’t have that right when it comes to young children.

We said there was a slippery slope. They said there wasn’t. They lied.
NO ONE is capable of making a decision for Medical Assistance In Dying (MAID)!
Support Life—from conception to natural death!
Christ is Risen! Indeed He is Risen!
such an abomination.
TOO YOUNG FOR MILITARY SERVICE
TOO YOUNG TO VOTE
TOO YOUNG TO DRIVE?
TOO YOUNG TO OWN A FIREARM?
OLD ENOUGH TO REQUEST ASSISTED SUICIDE???
NOT A VERY BALANCED SET OF STANDARDS
First they make it optional, then they make it compulsory. Choose wisely, Canadia.

Mods, a little help?
A good friend's father was hospitalized a few years ago with a heart attack and hooked up to machines. The attending doctor didn't think the old man would make it.
My friend, respecting Dad's wishes to not be on machines, signed a paper approving the de-machining and putting the Dad on "comfort care" which (IN GENERAL) is basically no curative care.
That was ok - that was the Dad's wishes.
The old man pulled through, but the hospital refused to put Dad back on fluids or nutrition because - you guessed it - "comfort care" IN THAT HOSPITAL and for THAT DOCTOR is effectively Terri Schaivo-style starvation and dehydration.
They said, food and water was a medical treatment and thus "curative" and AGAINST the rules of "comfort care."
My friend was stunned. And the attending and her team wouldn't budge - ”you signed the document giving consent.”
For the next few days, my friend and siblings heard from scores of nurses etc that withholding fluids was effectively "the right thing to do"....very Terri Schaivo-like. They also threw in “Dad live a good long life” and “he will never come back the way he was.”
It took a virtual miracle whereby a different doctor intervened, said the father clearly wasn't terminal, and put the old man back on nutrition and fluids.
While my friend's Dad passed away peacefully in his sleep a few weeks later, it was on the Dad’s terms.
It’s also worth noting that the siblings were split on “comfort care.” There WAS a view that it was ok for Dad to dehydrate to death. Someone even said that dehydration is painless; I hear the total opposite during the Schaivo murder.
Euthanasia is, technically, illegal. And I know many people would be OK if fluids were withheld when it is THEIR time to go. Fair enough.
Replace “old man” with “kid in Canada:”. euthanasia can be made legal if you're not careful with the Fine Print or vetting the "mercy killing" mindset of the attending.
I support assisted suicide for Democrats in this country.
It’s not a slippery slope if it was part of the program all along.
This was the logical next step after all the coal mines closed down and AI started to do all the coding ...
O, Canaduh!
The depth of evil that has pervaded this country is incredible, though not at all surprising. Prime Minister Carney, a self described ‘practicing Catholic’, while in the UK, sent his oldest daughter, Sophie, to the now shuttered, Tavistock Clinic.
Sophie emerged after ‘treatment’ at the Tavistock Clinic as ‘Sasha’, whose ‘pronouns’ are ‘they/them/theirs’.
Not a surprise that Carney does not publicly oppose MAiD, trans gender ‘rights’, abortion, nor divorce.
Seems to me that PM Carney, the ‘practicing Catholic’, needs to practice much more!
