Pure fiction. Ask the 80,000 or 100,000 unborn babies who were aborted in Canada per year? Seems liberals and NDP are ok with killing innocent people or unborn babies, but don't believe in justice for the real murderers who kill police officers who by the way are just doing their job to defend people like you.

Obviously such people need help in other ways, not offering them MAID. Where is the compassion for people who have mental problems? There is none. Just give them death. That doesn't show compassion or caring for people. They obviously need help which is not being offered in a lot of cases.

You are inventing all kinds of assumptions that have nothing to do with the subject. False allegations much.

That is pure fiction. It is the Nazi MAID talking point but no truth in it. Death by suicide or deliberate killing is not "dignity". It is the complete opposite. That is truly sad. You obviously don't believe in justice. If you think capital punishment for murdering a police officer is barbaric, what do you think killing a police officer is? You evidently don't see the difference?

So you can't see the difference between euthanasia and capital punishment for the murder of a police officer? That is sad. Euthanasia or MAID is killing someone who has committed no crime and capital punishment for killing a police officer is justice. You should understand the difference.

You assume everyone who applies for MAID will suffer unimaginably, which is just an assumption and is not factual. The medical profession has many medications they can give people and not everyone applying for MAID is suffering. So it is a kind of myth and disinformation. There are all kinds of reasons why people apply for MAID.

There is no such thing as absolute freedom to do whatever you want. You do not have freedom to kill someone you don't like. Neither should the state be playing God and killing people. Now you are lying. I never said that. I said the medical profession removes extraordinary life supports from people in certain circumstances if the situation warrants it.

Sometimes, people in serious medical condition, when there is no hope of recovery, have their extraordinary support systems removed which ends their life. This is not considered as murder. The medical profession does this all the time. That is totally different than injecting something into a person to kill them. That is murder. Man should not be actively killing people.

There are many people who are pro vax, such as myself, who believe freedom of choice does not include taking a human life or one's own life as in MAID. Historically our laws are based on Judeo-Christian society and thinking. That's why we have laws against killing and stealing, etc. Why does Canada have to down the Nazi road of euthanasia? Probably because it saves a lot of money that government would have to otherwise spend on caring for people.

It's not a choice when people are ignorant and feel pressured into choosing MAID for any of various reasons. You need to consider what the Bible has to say. God owns your bodies whether you believe it or not. Only God has the right to decide when human life ends. You should respect that and quit trying to play God. There are lots of reasons why you should believe the Bible. "The internal evidence of Scripture’s veracity provides many compelling arguments for why one should believe the Bible. First, the unique message of the Bible sets it apart from other religious texts. The Bible, for instance, teaches that mankind is inherently sinful and deserving of eternal death. If man were responsible for the content of the Bible, the view of humanity would not be so dark—we tend to make ourselves look good. The Bible also teaches that humans can do nothing of themselves to remedy their natural state. This, too, goes against human pride." Why should I believe the Bible? | GotQuestions.org

That 47 trillion is probably all invested in various corporations that create millions of jobs. So your view is flawed. If you took all that money away, you would be shutting down all corporations and nobody would have a job. What good would that do? You would have millions of people starving with nothing. Capitalism is private enterprise where people with lots of money invest it which in turn creates millions of jobs for everyone. A state controlled system of Communism where nobody has much wealth would mean no private corporations and the poverty would be spread around equally to everyone. The USSR tried that and that's what happened. Only the privileged Communist leaders had special privileges and some prosperity. Everyone else was in the poorhouse. Your simplistic view of the world is completely flawed.

Actually, having a parliamentary committee sit down and calmly decree how people are going to receive assisted suicide and under what loose conditions, is not that far removed from Nazi mentality, which had no respect for the sanctity of human life, particularly the Jews.

You sound like you don't want to hear anything from anyone that might be trying to save you from yourself. Sounds a bit like someone who is getting ready to jump off a bridge and tells any would-be rescuer to go away and get lost. Unfortunately our own thinking can be our downfall. If the law says you can do yourself in with help from a doctor, there is not much anyone can do about it if you are determined. One problem with this is you are not doing this entirely yourself. You are using a doctor to commit this offensive act. He becomes an accessory to the fact much like the Nazis that kept the gas chambers running. Not a big difference.

This article raises some good points that Canadians need to consider. "Many Canadians living on the margins of society do not have access to the services they need like palliative care, mental health services, and support for people with disabilities. Their needs can be as basic as lack of housing, food, companionship and financial support. Without access to quality care and resources that would meet their basic needs, their options become limited, and without options, there are no choices. At the same time, access to MAiD has been expanded in Canada since its introduction in 2016. In March 2021, the federal government passed revised legislation that changed the eligibility criteria and procedural safeguards for MAiD. The new law grants Canadians with chronic illness or disability, who are not terminally ill, the right to seek MAiD. When they are at their most vulnerable, people may choose MAiD if they don't have suitable options. We have a social responsibility to help people live their lives on their own terms. When Canadians are at their most vulnerable, they should be provided with meaningful options to live before they are provided with options to die. What can we do? Everyone has a role to play. Provincial governments need to enhance their current financial and program commitments to ensure all Canadians can live with dignity. We can all reach out to people we know in our area to provide a helping hand. Churches, NGOs and community groups can equip and coordinate these efforts. We need to restore our Canadian reputation for compassion." No Options, No Choice (nooptionsnochoice.com) MAID is a very tragic law that the government brought in. It is a kind of genocide of tens of thousands of people per year in Canada. It should be scrapped. It is no solution to anything.

No, it was actually Premier Gordon Campbell, leader of the then B.C. Liberal Party that brought the carbon tax in in 2008. The BC Liberals are far from being "conservative". They changed their name recently to the B.C. United Party. They are an NDP lite party. B.C. is too much of a leftist province with lots of tree huggers and environmental radicals and people living off the government. The NDP has led the failing health care system and broken BC Ferry system, mills shutting down, and housing shortage, and high gas prices. Vancouver Island has the highest number of people receiving medical assistance in dying in Canada. The disaster will continue with the people choosing the quasi Socialist NDP.

It looks like B.C. will be stuck with NDP governments for some time. The next election is in about a year. The problem is the main opposition, the BC United Party (formerly BC Liberal Party) is, according to polls, losing support to the BC Conservative Party. One poll said they each have about 20% of public support now. This means the vote opposing the NDP in the next election may be divided between the BC United Party and the BC Conservative Party. This will guarantee that the NDP will win. They must be overjoyed with the recent polls. BC will be stuck with another quasi Socialist government. This will mean continuing carbon taxes, highest price of homes in Canada in Vancouver, and the highest gas prices in north America with one third of the price of gas being taxes. It will mean continuing progressivism in the public school system and giving away millions more to FN for everything under the sun. More radical climate change actions.

Come on, the judge issued an injunction because he agrees with SOGI teaching without informing the parents about the pronouns, not parental rights.

Of course I oppose the scam carbon tax. It does nothing for climate change. A tax cannot control the climate.

We don't live under the same kind of system that existed at the time of Caesar. Government now includes all the people and the people have the right to input on the laws and policies. Jesus never opposed that. Render unto Caesar refers to obeying the existing laws. So we must obey the speed limits and obey the laws. I think that is what Jesus meant by rendering unto Caesar. He did not mean you couldn't speak against or in favour of certain laws. It is just simple logic. In case you haven't noticed, our Caesar is a Parliamentary system with human rights which include freedom of speech and democratic input to government policies and laws. Two thousand years ago, practically all countries were absolute dictatorships. It is perfectly legal and in agreement with what Jesus and the Bible teaches to give input in a democratic system. That is the kind of system we have. Ask any politician or ask the King. If you or I want to complain or advocate about some government policy or law, we have a perfect right to do that. I am sure you know that. In fact, I would further say Jesus would want his follows to oppose laws that are against his Word as for example abortion. Christians should be opposed to abortion and when it seems appropriate, say so. Your claim that Jesus opposed capital punishment is false. He never said anything about it. Read what I said.

One must study the Bible carefully. I gave you a lot of detail in the posting above. I believe dispensationalism is the correct way to interpret the Bible. Without understanding the Bible is divided into dispensations or ages you can end up in confusion. God dealt with mankind in different ways in different ages. But we are obviously still in the dispensation of human government, which means government is responsible for law and order. The directive in Genesis 9:6 was given during the dispensation of human government and we are still under that system. That dispensation overlaps one or more other dispensations. Google dispensations to find out what it is all about. We also live in a democracy which permits Christians to disagree with government policies which they believe are not supported by the Bible. So we are free to oppose abortion for example and support capital punishment for murder which is taught in Genesis 9:6.

That is false. It is not a rejection of the clear teachings of Jesus Christ. Jesus never specifically opposed capital punishment. He did not deny the state's authority to exact capital punishment. The Apostle Paul said in the New Testament in Romans: "1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. {ordained: or, ordered} 2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. " Romans 13:1-4 KJV These are God's words. The sword could be understood to be a symbol of capital punishment. The sword is lethal. When Jesus rejected an "eye for an eye", I think he was speaking about individuals taking revenge on others for offences against themselves, not government exercising justice against evil doers. Romans ch13 clearly speaks about the authority of government to exercise justice against evil doers. Genesis 9:6 orders capital punishment for murder. That has never been rescinded. We are still living under human government and government is responsible for law and order. quote After the Flood God stepped back from directly judging the earth until the second coming; thus, a human agency known as civil government was divinely appointed to restrain evil and protect man from his own sinful nature. Noah and his wife and his three sons and their wives began to repopulate the earth. Shem would become the father of the Mediterranean region dwellers and eventually the Jews (the word Semitic comes from the Latin word for “Shem”). Ham’s descendants spread into Africa, and Japheth’s into Eurasia. Noah and his family had practical knowledge of the failure under the dispensation of Conscience, and God made them responsible to protect the sanctity of human life. “Whoever sheds man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed, for in the image of God He made man” (Genesis 9:6). In this way, God established the orderly rule of mankind for the good of society. Capital punishment is the most potent function of human government, and it presupposes all forms of legislation, organization, and enforcement. In the New Testament (Romans 13), man is still responsible to use this authority to enforce righteousness. In other words, God’s command in Genesis 9:6 has not been rescinded. unquote What is the dispensation of Human Government? | GotQuestions.org

It has nothing to do with the discussion about capital punishment for murder of police officers.

There is no such thing as an inalienable right to life in all situations. What about police officers doing their duty to protect the public and themselves from someone who is trying to kill someone? What about in wars when a country is trying to defend itself? While nobody likes the thought of having to, obviously there are circumstances when police or soldiers have to do it. Capital punishment for murder of a police officer is no different as long as there is due process and there is absolute certainty of guilt.

So you think a guy who murdered mulitple people or murdered a police officer who was trying to protect your butt, should escape the justice of capital punishment and instead be able to live in relative comfort at taxpayers expense of millions of dollars over 25 years. And at that point start holding parole hearings every few years and put the victims families through the horror show of hearing it all again and having to see the offender. And if he does get parole, he might go out again and kill more people because it has happened before. That's your idea of justice and being civilized. Sad.

The last living WWII-era German Nazis have shockingly few regrets (nypost.com) Yet Trudeau took no action to use the security apparatus of government, RCMP, CSIS, etc. to ensure a former Nazi could not be in the HOC and be cheered as he sat near Zelenskiyy.
