Leftist policies start out seemingly reasonable and compassionate before they become totally monstrous. Initially, there are sympathetic test cases, they started out with arguing that raped 12-year-olds should be able to get an abortion, and then before you know, it’s partial-birth abortion for bored celebrities. Euthanasia was supposed to help those with fatal illnesses suffering a great deal of pain. And then, in typical fashion, it morphed into killing teenagers and the depressed.

Where to in the Great North? How about killing the homeless and the poor?

Half of Canadians would agree to allow adults in Canada to seek medical assistance in dying due to an inability to receive medical treatment (51%) or a disability (50%). Fewer than three-in-ten would consent to expand the guidelines to include homelessness (28%) or poverty (27%) as reasons to seek medical assistance in dying.

That’s 1 in 4 on board with euthanasia for the poor and the homeless. Among the 18-34 crowd, it’s 40%.

And that means that this is the next bar. The conservatives will die off or be killed, leaving an exciting new electorate...

Kind of a devious, chickensh*t way to get rid of “asylum-seeking, refugees”, but okay.

“ Half of Canadians would agree to allow adults in Canada to seek medical assistance in dying due to an inability to receive medical treatment (51%) or a disability (50%). ”

Why in a nation with socialized medicine would someone be unable to receive medication treatment ????

Kind of admitting the system doesn’t work, no?

People having a kitten without checking out the poll methodology first.

Sheesh.

What a waste of a perfectly good angst.

A concept that the great Canadian Socialist Tommy Douglas espoused as a young socialist... He also believed in eugenics... And was responsible for the introduction of Socialized medicine in Canada...He’s not rolling in his grave... He’s dancing in it.

I’m sure Canada’s Derp Dtate is just fine and dandy at the prospect of killing off even more of its citizenry.

But if people were willing to vote for this ****, why do their Deep States have to steal elections...
