I have a feature in this month's @thenation special issue on bodies. It looks at Canada's expanded MAID program and asks: why is it easier for people to choose death in Canada than it is to get access to services? thenation.com/article/societ…
@NoLore @JordanMRoberts @thenation Ford’s Ontario, falling apart health care and education.
@NoLore @thenation An associate of mine was informed by his elderly tenant that they will no longer be needing the place at the end of the month, when asked why they said they have been approved for MAID, they said their back pains are extreme and nothing has helped and waiting times are to long,
@NoLore @thenation Great in-depth article! "Canada offers the most permissive access to #MAID in the world. Whereas euthanasia is seen as a last resort in Belgium and Holland." Canadians can be approved for MAID & DIE < while they WAIT for SCARCE > treatment, care & housing options.
@NoLore @thenation My buddy recovering from a TBI was told he hadnt made enough progress in 18mo to be able to return to work, and so they will cut all funding for rehab. Even the taxi to go to the pool. Now they want to force his wife/caregiver back to work too. 1st appeal denied. Its ghoulish.
@NoLore @thenation And people think Justin Trudeau is a socialist, and this is happpening.
