I gave you the assisted death procedure, which is the law. If you still want to believe homeless people are being euthanized in Canada, go ahead if that helps you rationalize your position.

I miss him a lot, but my friend won’t come back from the dead because I’m “promoting” assisted death.

My best friend committed suicide a year and half ago because of extreme pain he was experiencing due to injuries suffered in a fall.

It’s easy to causally dismiss people’s pain when you don’t have to witness it yourself.

BASEMENT FILMS: “Most of all we would like to thank the doctors/contributors/survivors… and to apologize for not believing them BBC would never run a film like this. Turns out they were right.”

BBC just shelved a doc about Gaza doctors. 🤔

If an e-bike or scooter can travel at 30 mph, they have the potential to kill someone. To me, it seems reasonable to ensure the rider knows the rules of the road and how to operate their e-bike or scooter safely 🤷‍♂️

Here is the procedure that must be followed. If it is not followed, a criminal investigation is initiated.

Here is a Guardian article where the claims are disputed by medical professionals in the field.

Canada’s assisted dying laws in spotlight as expansion paused again

Canada has one of the highest rates of euthanasia in the world, with 4.1% of deaths aided by doctors, but moves to make it more accessible are being questioned

The poster, who knew damn well what he said, but just called me names a blocked me, which is just fine to me. Frankly I don’t know how you keep your cool interacting with these assholes.

If the claims are true, the actions stated in the article should be against the law and the people encouraging assisted dying be fired.

wyth 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 @legup11.bsky.social · Jun 20

I am aware of this article. The claims made are in dispute. My point stands.

wyth 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 @legup11.bsky.social · Jun 20

No. I questioned the poster about his implying that children were responsible for their own suffering, and he ask me for proof. So this was my response. I see a lot of people calling all Palestinians terrorists to justify the genocide in Gaza, and this poster pissed me off enough to call him out.

So you have evidence to back up this claim?

SaveDemocracy123:

Dying, starving, unarmed women, children, barefoot starving Palestinians.

You responded with a generalized statement that the people mentioned above created the situation they were in and no tears should be shed. How else would someone interpret that statement?

wyth 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 @legup11.bsky.social · Jun 20

You responded to the post below, which talks about children suffering, with the statement below.

How are the children causing their own suffering?

The _choice_ is offered to everyone who is dying or severely disabled, not just the poor. And the choice is between you and your doctor, no one else.

wyth 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 @legup11.bsky.social · Jun 20

I said this in another thread; living in Canada, it gives me comfort knowing I control how I leave this world.

My life, my choice.

wyth 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 @legup11.bsky.social · Jun 19

Nope

wyth 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 @legup11.bsky.social · Jun 18

I could care less what you like or dislike.

So we should ignore historical figures after they’re dead. Most of the historical figures studied are dead genius.

Thank you for this.

We’ve arranged a society on science and technology in which nobody understands anything about science and technology, and this combustible mixture of ignorance and power sooner or later is going to blow up in our faces.

A dogs owner unfortunately passed away while the dog was in the kennel. They're trying to adopt her out. Riri.

Screenshot of the FB post. It includes a pic of Riri, a black doggo.

This is Riri. Riri came to stay with us under some sad circumstances. Her owner unfortunately passed away unexpectedly. His family has been doing as much as they can to keep Riri comfortable and find her a new forever home. Riri has been staying with us for a couple weeks now and we have all fallen in love with her.
Age: 1 and a half
Breed: Lab mix
Sex: Female
Vaccines: Up to date
She still has puppy energy and will need lots of physical exercise. She is very food motivated and while she can be goofy she is also smart. She barks when she is very excited and she is very sweet.
Riri is great with other dogs and kids but we don’t know about cats.
Contact us directly if you or someone you know is interested in adopting Riri.
