Depressed Person: “Doctor I feel like I don’t have anything to live for.”

Canadian Doctor: “Well, have I got an idea for you!”

With proper counselling and care, most people could get their lives back on track and once again realise their worth to society!

Of course, it’s easier just to dispose of the mentally ill.

Sometimes I wonder if we are the carbon they want to reduce. But I digress.

Terrible Timing

The timing of Canada’s decision to offer MAiD to the mentally ill, including for depression, is, well depressing.

We are just emerging from a two-year lockdown, the impact of which is only just beginning to become apparent. Mental health disorders are at an all time high.

But don’t worry. While life is getting harder, the Trudeau government has made dying easier.

Lost your job?

Can’t find housing?

Went through a divorce, or two?

Suffering post-natal depression?

In Canada you can now choose between being placed on a long waiting list for mental health services, or being handed a noose immediately.

This is the healthcare system Canada brags about!

In Ontario, nearly 6,000 patients with the most severe mental disorders are on a years-long list for specialist community-based care.

The government have found a way to quickly and efficiently shorten that list.

History Repeats

Instead of helping people out of poverty and dealing with mental illness, Canada has instead decided eugenics is the answer.

The Western world is truly becoming 1930s Germany, and sadly many Westerners seem okay with that.

Germany — the most educated nation on earth in the 1930s — murdered an estimated 300,000 mentally ill and handicapped people between 1939 and 1945 under the pretext of euthanasia.

They deemed certain people to be “life unworthy of life”.

It’s only a matter of time, if the nations’ net zero obsession continues, before we hear the phrase “useless eaters” revived and spun as a problem that must be dealt with, compassionately of course.

Data from the Netherlands, where euthanasia is legal for people with mental illness, shows that people ending their life for mental health reasons tend to be much younger and much poorer than those ending their lives because of physical illnesses. They also tend to be women.

Is this really how we want to treat our young people? Our women?

Is this really how we want to treat the poor?

And another thing. Do we really believe a chronically depressed person can make a rational decision to end their life?

Can a person freely choose to die if they don’t have an equal chance to live with dignity because society decided it was more economical for such people to die rather than to live?

A great deal of people with mental health challenges improve over time.

Canada will have a health system next year that ensures people will die at the hands of the State before they ever have a chance to recover.
