This Is Why Canada Is One Of The Worst Human Rights Violators Of Our Time

[gatomontes99]

And just like that, Canada sentenced an innocent child to death for the crime of being expensive.

The good news is, she can pay for the treatments in America. The bad news is, Canada has probably taxed her so much that she can't afford it.

Congrats, you win the award for most nonsensical and idi0tic post of the day....so far.  

The title is a joke.  Canada is ranked #5 globally in human rights - Placing 5th out of 208 jurisdictions evaluated by Freedom House, Canada received nearly top marks on political rights (39/40) and civil liberties (58/60) for a total score of 97/100 on the Freedom in the World 2025 report.

Secondly, the BC government denied funding...NOT Canada.  The BC government determined Pollock's condition had deteriorated to the point where she met "discontinuation criteria".   Agree or disagree with the BC gov's decision.....it's heartbreaking for the family.

#5 eh? Wow that's pretty good. So, if #5 sentences children to death for being expensive, how bad is #6? What do they do that is worse?

You don't understand the difference between a province and a country do you.  The provincial government (BC) denied the funding.....NOT the federal government (Canada) government.  Google what a province is....

Not sure how bad #6 is, but the US is ranked #59 so maybe you have some insight into how pitiful that is ....  U.S. Added to Global Human Rights Watchlist Over Declining Civil Liberties  https://time.com/7266334/us-human-rights-watchlist-civil-liberties/

If you get fired from a job do you care if it was your supervisor, their supervisor or the CEO?

The government killed her child through denial of service in a program that she was "guaranteed." It was a lie. They violated this child's right to live. They didnt give them a choice. It is a MAJOR civil rights violation. And what is worse? They get people to actually believe they are better off being selectively eliminated by the government. 

But, yeah, the US is 59th on a list that considers the countries that will kill you to lower their costs some of the top free countries.

So what would be the chances of her getting this drug in the US without insurance that would cover it and who would provide that insurance?

No, read it again. the child is going to die anyway.  the drug won't help her, it just controls her seizures and they can do that with other drugs which are less expensive. This drug cost a million a year and won't do her any more good.

 Yeash dude, i've got some serious issues with our medical system but i think you'll have a hard time selling this as a human rights violation

There was a tag added 

 

"Context needed: While tragic, the child's condition has always been terminal, and has progressed beyond the stage where the drug is considered useful. The only remaining benefit is seizure control, which can be managed by less expensive ($1mil/yr) medications."

Shitty all the way around for this child and family, but the government hasn't killed the child.  The drug is considered no longer effective for her current situation.  To blame this on the BC government as a disregard for human rights is only reading headlines, and disregarding the unfortunate facts.
