00:00:00.000
So poor people can now get medically assisted suicide in Canada.
00:00:06.140
Yeah, and according to the government, they should, because what is there to live for?
00:00:10.160
You should just be hopeless and then end your life.
00:00:14.160
If you think the government won't help you, you're wrong.
00:00:30.000
Hello, and welcome to Misunderstood, the show for all of you culturally and politically
00:00:42.460
misunderstood ladies, gents, demisexuals, and non-binary folks.
00:00:55.080
And today, we're going to unpack Candace Cameron Bure giving up her reign as the queen of
00:01:04.320
We're also going to try to provide the who, what, when, and where of FTX, because we know
00:01:10.640
And then we're going to talk about some sinister additions to Canada's medical assistance in
00:01:26.340
For those of you who are still with us, I feel like many of you are not, the queen of
00:01:32.200
Christmas, Candace Cameron Bure, has given up her crown, and she's left Hallmark.
00:01:36.180
So I'm sure many of you are familiar with the Hallmark Channel's annual Christmas movies.
00:01:47.600
I'm not personally a huge fan, but I accept that many are.
00:01:57.780
And they're all usually filmed in my hometown of Abbotsford.
00:02:02.560
So you'll just see a store, and it has the exact same name as the store downtown Abbotsford,
00:02:11.900
So she's parting away with Hallmark to begin new acting ventures that align with her Christian
00:02:18.160
So according to New York Post, the former Full House star revealed that she has a preference
00:02:21.660
for the Great American Family Network's values and discussed her move to the Tennessee-based
00:02:27.300
Speaking to Wall Street Journal, she said her heart wants to tell stories that have more
00:02:30.380
meaning and purpose with depth behind them, adding that she knew that the people behind
00:02:34.400
Great American Family were Christians that loved the Lord and wanted to promote faith programming
00:02:42.520
Horrible that someone just wants to pursue artistic endeavors that align with their faith.
00:02:52.240
And I guess many other people think she should be canceled because the mob has, of course,
00:02:55.860
come after her for being a Christian and just living out.
00:03:00.180
She should just not listen to the Bible, ignore it completely.
00:03:04.260
It's optional as a Christian to believe in the Bible.
00:03:10.620
And just, you know, make, I don't know, like orgy porn or something.
00:03:19.440
So yeah, in all seriousness, the mob has really come after her pretty hard.
00:03:24.020
And I don't know, Kat, do you ever feel like the mob just goes after Christians because
00:03:28.600
they haven't been in the news cycle for a while?
00:03:30.280
And they're like, this is a great way for me to, you know, virtue signal and get some brownie
00:03:33.840
points with progressives as opposed to them just like hating Christians overall.
00:03:40.560
Which is, which is kind of great in a way because it's like, oh, we know these people hate.
00:03:44.120
But is it, I wonder if it's like, is the mob actually descending on her more than anyone
00:03:49.860
Or is it just that the media is picking up on this particular mob?
00:03:52.460
Like that's the question is like, are there constant mobs constantly going after people,
00:04:00.940
And then, so maybe I guess the media is the mob as well.
00:04:07.580
But yeah, a lot of celebrities have come after her.
00:04:10.400
And I mean, I just think it's, I don't know, I'm kind of proud of her for, you know,
00:04:16.440
persevering, I guess, because she is glorifying God by staying true to her values.
00:04:21.380
And it doesn't, like, just because she wants to, you know, work in an entertainment company
00:04:26.420
that aligns with her faith doesn't mean she, like, hates gay people or hates trans people.
00:04:31.240
No, I see, I don't see how that, like, I don't get that correlation, right?
00:04:37.440
And if anyone's wondering, Candace Cameron Bray was DJ Tanner on Full House.
00:04:45.100
I mean, I feel like a lot of people know that, but maybe not everyone.
00:04:52.660
See, she's, Kat's dressed like the rock today for those who are listening.
00:04:59.540
What else should we, is there, oh yes, we have one more story that's kind of on this.
00:05:02.500
I feel like, did we beat that to death or do we want, is there anything you'd like to add?
00:05:12.200
She's allowed to pursue creative endeavors that align with her values, like you've said.
00:05:22.420
Um, we're, there's just, this is quite the variety show today.
00:05:25.260
We're sorry that there's not really a clear theme, but there's just so much going on in
00:05:28.800
It's, we kind of just want to try to address everything because we're experts.
00:05:34.380
One thing I wanted to add is that like, she is actually setting a really good example for
00:05:38.340
Christians because the Bible does say that we will be persecuted for his namesake, his
00:05:43.540
And like so many Christians have become so weak in 2022.
00:05:47.380
We've really bent to the mob with like, you know, the trans agenda, critical race theory
00:05:52.000
and all that where people are teaching those kinds of things in church.
00:05:54.400
So it's just crazy that like a celebrity of all people is someone that we can actually
00:06:01.520
So it feels like it's one of the signs of the apocalypse.
00:06:06.360
You're like, wait, shouldn't like my pastor or something, you know?
00:06:10.040
So I just, I just think it's really interesting that she's setting such a good example.
00:06:13.240
And hopefully this encourages more Christians to just, you know, stay true to their values.
00:06:19.480
I feel like for every one celebrity that says something, there's like a hundred people
00:06:25.680
And sometimes it's bad because you're like, oh my God, these people are crazy.
00:06:28.460
They're like, oh, I should be able to get an abortion too.
00:06:35.720
And then on the other hand, you have people like Candace.
00:06:39.200
Who are, in our opinion, fighting the good fight.
00:07:10.080
Some interesting, another base celebrity, I guess.
00:07:13.360
Raven Simone reveals why she declined to have her Raven's home character be a lesbian.
00:07:17.620
So for those of you who don't know, Raven played Raven on the hit Disney series back in
00:07:33.220
She's been married to a woman for like two years now or something.
00:07:35.780
And I guess Disney asked her if she wanted Raven or the character Raven to be a lesbian.
00:07:50.040
And it's also kind of like, I didn't watch Raven.
00:07:55.860
But I imagine that if she wasn't a lesbian in the show the whole time.
00:08:07.540
Like, wouldn't you, isn't the whole point of it wanting to play different people?
00:08:18.600
One of the things she said was, I didn't want to change who she was.
00:08:21.940
And when you really start blending your personal life with your character, it's even harder.
00:08:29.220
If you ever see me in another character, you see Raven Baxter.
00:08:33.020
And I think the one thing that differentiates me from her is now a lot more.
00:08:39.980
Because when your character is so similar to you, you're like, that is.
00:08:43.620
Like the cast of Friends that happened to so many of them.
00:08:46.240
And we're just like, Joey Tribbiani, that's who Matt LeBlanc is as a person.
00:08:52.480
Well, the only other thing I've ever seen Matt LeBlanc in is playing Matt LeBlanc on episodes.
00:09:05.480
I mean, I don't really think she's much of an Oscar award-winning actor anyway.
00:09:16.700
She would know if she's gay by that point in her life.
00:09:19.840
Like, some people may not know, but it's like Raven would.
00:09:23.980
And if she didn't know, she's a terrible psychic.
00:09:26.680
She's actually not a great psychic in the show.
00:09:35.700
But she's psychic and non-binary and demisexual.
00:09:45.840
Well, let's just talk about something really simple now.
00:09:51.900
I have never understood a topic more than the crypto market and the FDX collapse.
00:10:04.420
And specifically this collapse, which I was following before last week.
00:10:12.420
And I would just like to add that Kat will be naming her baby crypto.
00:10:24.700
That's how committed we are to bringing you guys the truth about FTX.
00:10:37.780
So FTX is a digital currency exchange, much like the stock market.
00:10:55.080
So it became, FTX particularly became popular because really good marketing.
00:11:00.400
People like Tom Brady and Giselle Bunchen, they got behind it.
00:11:12.400
Is when there's a stadium like the Rogers Center here in Toronto.
00:11:22.760
If you have a stadium, basically no questions asked.
00:11:26.960
Some people, however, always thought that FTX and the lead, the head of FTX, whose name
00:11:32.700
is Sam Bankman-Fried, people call him SBF, and I will be calling it F-B-F, S-B-F from now
00:11:50.160
Some people always thought that he and FTX were sketchy.
00:11:57.620
And Elon Musk apparently got a message from SBF some time ago, like last year.
00:12:05.100
When Twitter was, the Twitter acquisition was still up in the air, and SBF offered $3 billion
00:12:11.820
to Elon to help him acquire Twitter, and Elon said his BS meter went off because he was like,
00:12:24.640
Elon just didn't believe that this company and this guy had all that cash, liquid cash.
00:12:29.020
Um, and then, so people were always kind of sketched out by it, but us, other people were
00:12:34.860
just heavily endorsing it, including, uh, Democrats and politicians.
00:12:38.980
And then in November of this year, FTX balance sheet was released, and it showed that, there's
00:12:47.960
a lot going on here, but basically some sketchy stuff.
00:12:50.020
There's this, this sister company called Alameda Research that is also owned by SBF.
00:13:00.120
Anyways, this other, this other company was valued at $14 billion, except it turns out
00:13:05.100
that that $14 billion was mostly, uh, in crypto coin, which are this, this token, which is owned
00:13:14.140
So basically the entire wealth of this company was derived from nothing.
00:13:20.760
So it's this token that doesn't, it's, the token is just to get people to use the trade, the
00:13:27.860
He's just creating value out of nothing and then saying, oh, my company's valued at this
00:13:31.900
And then when you look at it, it's like, oh, but that's not actually, that has no value.
00:13:36.220
So upon learning that, this other company, um, a competitor to FTX sold all of their, it's
00:13:46.440
So they sold all of the tokens, thus plummeting the price of the tokens into nothingness,
00:13:51.780
thus making this Alameda Research Company, which is like a subsidiary sister company to
00:14:01.120
Um, and people also didn't know that there was this connection between FTX and Alameda.
00:14:04.860
They thought they were too like, oh, Alameda's saying FTX is really, really good, but really
00:14:15.860
SBF is the second largest democratic, um, yes, uh, donor behind George Soros.
00:14:24.040
So after all this, this, this crypto stuff is a complete bore to me, even though I completely
00:14:28.240
understand all of it and I'm an expert and I live and breathe it.
00:14:35.960
Outside of all that very interesting stuff, the most interesting part of all this is
00:14:40.000
the juice and the drama, which Nat just alluded to, which is that SBF was held up by, like
00:14:47.080
I mentioned, democratic leaders, politicians, and people are calling him a, um, philanthropist.
00:14:52.400
But it's like, he's donating all his money to one particular group, which is the Democrats
00:14:56.560
and his brother apparently works at the Democrat party.
00:15:07.620
Like he's just kind of gone because he lives, so he, they live in the Bahamas and there's
00:15:12.740
all these people that work for FTX and they all lived in this condo together.
00:15:15.460
And now he's like trying to find another country to move to, but he's not going to be indicted
00:15:20.980
Cause it's possible that what he's done here is a crime.
00:15:22.880
Although I'm not particularly sure about it, but people are saying it could be.
00:15:32.640
There's a lot going on and I understand all of it.
00:15:37.660
And maybe we should talk about some of the fun, the fun stuff, the fun stuff.
00:15:41.740
So the fun stuff is that, uh, there's this girl who was the CEO of Alameda research.
00:15:47.280
Her name is, uh, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:16:05.440
She had a Tumblr account that she used to go off on and talk about her prescription drug use.
00:16:11.760
Um, orgies, polyamorous relationships, um, mass, masochism.
00:16:19.780
So it's so shocking that someone like that would be bad at managing money.
00:16:40.500
These are all alleged because her Tumblr was deleted recently.
00:16:43.240
So I couldn't actually verify that they were written on Tumblr.
00:16:46.200
But this is what people are saying that she wrote on Tumblr.
00:16:49.900
So she, she's talking about polyamorous relationships here.
00:16:58.340
Everyone should have a ranking of their partners.
00:17:00.660
People should know where they fall on the ranking.
00:17:02.620
And there should be vicious power struggles to move higher in the ranks.
00:17:13.520
I mean, I think that people would argue that, like, Bitcoin is stable because there's actually,
00:17:21.180
Like, Bitcoin actually has, like, there's only a certain number of them that can be created.
00:17:43.020
Well, one of the other things she said is, I didn't get into this as a crypto true believer.
00:17:47.000
It's mostly scams and memes when you get down to it.
00:17:51.740
So it's like, is she telling the truth is what I want to know.
00:17:54.400
Do you think, like, I understand, like, maybe Bitcoin.
00:17:57.680
Like, Bitcoin maybe is more stable, but in general, like, it just.
00:18:01.840
Do you ever think about the fact that, like, even in our bank accounts, like, I know it's not cryptocurrency, but you're like, that's just someone injecting that into my account.
00:18:12.120
When this FTX collapse started happening, people started, like, when that company sold all their FTT tokens, other people who owned them started selling theirs and wanting to withdraw the money.
00:18:23.080
And what happened was there was a bank run, which is when, exactly like you said, if I, if everyone goes and tries to take all their money out of a bank at the same time, there's not enough actual money there to pay everyone.
00:18:34.820
So that's, like, the money in your account is not sitting in a vault in cash, obviously.
00:18:41.940
But that's at least regulated by the government, which is, like, you know, good in some ways, bad in some ways.
00:18:46.620
But at least there's a little more accountability.
00:18:50.880
So when people are like, I want my money out of there, their FTX is like, sorry.
00:18:57.480
So people lost thousands and thousands, millions of dollars on this stuff because they're like, there's no way to actually make them pay that money back.
00:19:04.940
So I think that's where the criminality comes into it.
00:19:07.100
But, yeah, it's like there's nothing actually backing up this money whatsoever.
00:19:14.260
And then to hear someone like Caroline, who is supposed to be working at Alameda Research, which is supposed to be, like, understanding and researching and backing up and making crypto more reliable, it's creepy to hear her say that it's just scams and memes.
00:19:35.280
Just never trust, like, ugly nerds is what I'm getting from this.
00:19:40.220
Because they want to just, they just want to get back at you.
00:19:44.000
Because they were miserable in high school or whatever.
00:19:47.680
I'm pro-Barbie and Ken and, you know, I'm just kidding.
00:19:51.740
But didn't it, like, affect a lot of celebrities' net worths and all this?
00:19:55.800
So apparently Giselle and Tom both lost millions of dollars.
00:19:59.520
But do you think, like, why do you think these celebrities were so free to trust this guy?
00:20:15.780
But, like, the rest of our listeners and our viewers, maybe they have.
00:20:23.180
In fact, what you could do is you could, whatever you think is going on, you tell us
00:20:37.900
Well, and apparently the guy who's cleaning up FTX, he's the new CEO.
00:20:42.740
He says it's, like, a bigger mess than even we can fathom.
00:20:53.460
How is, like, how do people get away with this stuff?
00:20:55.940
Like, is it, it just makes, like, my tinfoil hat just wants to go on right now.
00:21:03.840
It's, like, the more money you have, the more able you are to scam more money.
00:21:09.580
Because, like, if you're just, like, a young person, upstanding citizen who wants to start
00:21:12.980
a company, the bank is going to be like, oh, let's look at all those financial statements.
00:21:25.160
You can get away with more because there's not as many people watching over you, I guess.
00:21:35.160
Is there anything else that we need to know about this?
00:21:38.180
That's everything anyone needs to know about this.
00:21:51.820
I totally did not drop out of first-year economics.
00:21:54.580
I nailed it and went on to graduate with honors.
00:22:01.500
One thing to note is that the operations were run by Bankman Frye's inner circle of 10 roommates.
00:22:21.100
Apparently, like, Caroline's dad is a guy at a thing.
00:22:54.840
And hopefully, these people get their money back.
00:23:07.920
And then we looked into it and we're like, I was like, I can't.
00:23:39.960
So a woman with disabilities nears medically assisted suicide death after futile bid for affordable housing.
00:23:46.980
So poor people can now get medically assisted suicide in Canada.
00:24:01.100
If you think the government won't help you, you're wrong.
00:24:07.200
They don't want to offer you any alternative solutions, though.
00:24:10.740
No way to ease up your pain or help your life improve or get you a job or help you pay your rent.
00:24:16.380
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:24:26.740
So the medical assistance in death law became legal in 2016.
00:24:31.380
And basically at that time there were some strict criteria, like the basic stuff, you
00:24:36.900
had to be 18, you have to have voluntarily signed up for it, et cetera.
00:24:41.380
But it was specific to people who had a serious and incurable illness, disease, or disability
00:24:46.900
with yada, yada, yada, whose natural death has become unreasonably, sorry, whose natural
00:24:58.820
We will just hurry this up for you and make it happen.
00:25:04.600
Now, in 2021, that law changed to people whose foreseeable death, or sorry, whose death is
00:25:13.180
And it included people who are just in a lot of pain, have diseases, but they're not necessarily
00:25:22.080
However, in March 2023, so in a couple of months, that law is expanding again, to now
00:25:31.220
include people with mental disabilities, depression, anxiety, that is now going to qualify you for
00:25:49.740
So there's a 31-year-old Toronto woman who uses a wheelchair, and she's nearing final
00:25:53.940
approval for a medically-assisted death request after a fruitless bid to secure an affordable
00:25:57.940
apartment that doesn't worsen her chronic illness.
00:26:01.260
She was diagnosed with multiple chemical sensitivities, which triggers rashes, difficulty
00:26:05.620
breathing, and blinding headaches called hemiplegic migraines that cause her temporary
00:26:13.940
So basically, the chemicals that make her sick are cigarette smoke, laundry chemicals,
00:26:18.920
And she is at risk of anaphylactic shock and has EpiPens with her at all times.
00:26:26.080
It's not just like, oh, laundry detergent makes my skin itchy.
00:26:28.760
It sounds pretty serious to having temporary paralysis from-
00:26:36.120
And she's in a wheelchair from an unrelated accident that she had.
00:26:40.480
But it's like, the problem is, like, okay, yes, I don't want this woman to suffer, but
00:26:48.620
Like, why can't the government try to help make this person's living situation better?
00:26:58.000
The thing is, though, the government has so much money to send to Ukraine, to buy vaccines,
00:27:01.780
and all this stuff, but we can't actually help our community when they need it.
00:27:05.640
That is exactly the, like, you hit the nail on the head.
00:27:08.480
We're sending billions of dollars to the Ukraine, and we're spending all this money
00:27:14.140
on gun laws and all this stuff, and we're like, there's a woman, 31 years old.
00:27:26.900
She's 31 years old, and she wants to die because she can't live in a place with clean enough
00:27:34.540
It's like, there are things we can do, like a really good air purifier.
00:27:38.160
Maybe there's a laundry service that can come in to get her laundry done in a, like, a clean
00:27:44.820
Like, she, the problem is that she's looking for a wheelchair accessible apartment building
00:27:52.860
Doesn't really exist because those, like, I mean, that might exist, but she also needs
00:27:59.600
So it's like, that's, I can't even, I don't even know if those places exist.
00:28:11.200
But I'm thinking a good air purifier, some medically sealed doorways and whatever.
00:28:16.200
Like, I think we can, like, let this woman live.
00:28:21.280
And I mean, how much money are we spending on other stuff?
00:28:29.820
And we talked about this in episode number 34 of Misunderstood.
00:28:32.640
We talked about medically assisted suicide, death, sorry, no, medical assistance and dying
00:28:39.220
You guys should go check it out, episode number 34.
00:28:41.920
But we talked about how this is a slippery slope.
00:28:44.740
Like, we just don't know where they're going to draw the line here.
00:28:48.380
And it was a slippery slope before when they initially granted this law.
00:28:51.740
And it was like, okay, only if you're going to die in, like, a couple weeks.
00:28:55.440
But now it's like, no, no, if you have depression or if you have severe anxiety,
00:29:03.740
Like, this is, there's, like, people who are actually really going to die.
00:29:08.640
Then there's someone like her who's like, I having really terrible chronic illness and
00:29:14.260
And then there's, below that, there's like, I have anxiety.
00:29:20.360
But it's just, it's just where do we draw the line?
00:29:24.320
The line is just going to, it's going to keep moving and moving and moving.
00:29:27.680
And then one day you can just wake up and have a bad day, I assume, and just decide, hey,
00:29:36.740
I will be doing this live on the air very soon.
00:29:41.740
I was, I was just, you know, like there could be fundraising websites, community services,
00:29:50.100
If this woman was a member of a church, I genuinely believe they wouldn't let her die.
00:29:57.780
Well, and I think this is going to be other people with the similar illnesses.
00:30:03.500
Like there must be a household where we can send these people suffering.
00:30:06.360
But one thing that this is going to, this is very dark and I'm so sorry guys, but it's
00:30:11.360
Like what if this person doesn't know God and all these people who apply for this, they
00:30:22.780
And I'm pretty sure hell is a lot more unbearable than living on earth in pain.
00:30:28.200
Like, I don't want these people to live eternity in hell.
00:30:35.060
Like we're just letting these people make this serious decision.
00:30:38.100
These people don't believe in, in heaven and hell clearly.
00:30:43.580
Like you're going to die and it's going to be worse than, than living.
00:30:47.460
Like I just, I don't want, I don't want people to take that risk.
00:30:53.460
Like I could cry thinking about it because it's like, there's just, there's always hope.
00:30:57.400
And it's so sad that our government just doesn't give a shit about our wellbeing.
00:31:02.040
And I, we always knew that, but this is just so much more tangible.
00:31:10.600
It's like, oh, there's too many people on the planet.
00:31:15.320
And they're, they're devaluing her life because she's in pain.
00:31:20.240
Like, and she wants, she could go on living if not for the fact that she just needs somewhere
00:31:25.660
Um, also there's this other whole part of this medical assistance and dying thing where
00:31:31.040
the government actually saves millions and millions of dollars.
00:31:34.760
The more people that they kill through this program, the more money that they save in healthcare.
00:31:39.500
We found this, um, it's a cost estimate for B's bill C seven medical assistance and dying.
00:31:50.120
Um, so under the new legislation, it says the cost of administering, administering made
00:31:59.080
And thus the net reduction healthcare costs for provincial governments will amount to
00:32:03.720
So basically healthcare, like if we spend X amount on healthcare, but we execute basically
00:32:10.740
this many people, those people are no longer going to be needing healthcare.
00:32:16.960
Right now we're saving $89 million, but apparently with the new projections, yeah, it'll be closer
00:32:31.680
The government's just like, yeah, yeah, like 62, that's, that's not a little bit of money.
00:32:37.780
Are they going to send that $62 million to Ukraine?
00:32:41.360
And I don't want your gross blood money either.
00:32:44.380
And there's another article following this, Canada will soon allow medically assisted
00:32:50.640
And, and the, they asked the question, has there been enough time to get it right?
00:32:57.220
And there's so many people who have actually come out against this Toronto Centre for Addiction
00:33:02.040
and Mental Health, which is CAMH, Canada's largest psychiatric teaching hospital has said
00:33:06.400
that assisted dying shouldn't expand without more study.
00:33:09.000
The Canadian Mental Health Association raised serious concern, concerns about expanding
00:33:13.940
MAID without first increasing mental health care funding.
00:33:26.820
They, they, the subject of the article is this woman.
00:33:30.040
And, um, it says here that she's been struggling with mental illness since she was eight years
00:33:34.760
At 13, she was prescribed her first trial of antidepressants.
00:33:41.280
Now at 31, she has tried many medications, too many medications to count and spend much
00:33:45.180
of her life either entering, either in therapy or waiting on a list to receive it.
00:33:48.640
She's bounced between doctors and has been giving multiple diagnoses, uh, diagnoses, depression,
00:33:54.640
anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, borderline personality disorder.
00:33:57.860
And then it says she wavers between wanting to die and trying to live, especially for her
00:34:03.940
11 year old son who was cared for by her parents.
00:34:11.780
We're going to err on the side of death, even though this woman has no real reason to die.
00:34:17.900
And on that, if this person has that many mental illnesses, how are they able to make
00:34:25.520
You're going to listen to the mentally ill person who's depressed about them wanting
00:34:34.700
Like, if we haven't fixed her yet, like, I understand that it's like, oh, it's not like
00:34:39.060
Like, she's been through all these doctors and whatever.
00:34:46.000
And she has an 11-year-old son who right now she can't care for, but maybe one day
00:34:50.520
And what is that going to do to that poor child?
00:34:52.940
That your mother chose death because she's so depressed.
00:34:56.420
Like, when you're a parent, too, like, you kind of give up yourself for your child.
00:35:04.380
And again, like, I am not, we're not here to throw stones at anyone who's suffering.
00:35:08.440
Like, it breaks my heart, like, hearing these stories.
00:35:12.740
We're not just saying, like, oh, suffer and don't die because that makes me happy.
00:35:20.080
I just think, like, the government already, like, the government already tries to be God.
00:35:27.680
Like, I just, this is going to have dire consequences.
00:35:31.500
And we're just, it's just like, it reminds me of, like, just going to a slaughterhouse.
00:35:37.760
And how can they, how can they live with themselves?
00:35:39.560
Like, there just seems to be so many ethical issues with this.
00:35:43.000
And whether it's made into law or not, like, laws are not always, like, good or pure and lovely.
00:35:50.520
So I'm just saying, just because it's legal doesn't mean it's just.
00:35:54.660
And I just think that there should, more people should be questioning this.
00:36:00.440
Like, so many innocent people are just going to die because they're suffering.
00:36:04.860
And it just, oh, I just, honestly, I could, like, cry thinking about it because it's just so heartbreaking.
00:36:18.520
TikToker wishes for medical assistance in dying due to her battle with depression.
00:36:22.820
And her wish could come true in Canada next year.
00:36:26.080
Um, so this girl posted a TikTok, um, viral lip sync TikTok with the caption, when you
00:36:33.400
have such severe treatment resistant depression that even your doctor suggests made.
00:36:46.220
How, like, I, I, let's assume she's suffered greatly.
00:36:53.720
Yeah, let's, let's be, it's an extreme case of depression.
00:36:56.960
And maybe she has, like, she's justified in that.
00:37:03.200
Like, let's assume it's not just, like, oh, my boyfriend talked to me.
00:37:06.300
Like, let's assume it's some serious, serious shit.
00:37:11.580
Let, like, other people on the planet have been through worse.
00:37:20.920
And one thing that's so interesting, and we've talked about this on the show before, is that just because you have depression, like, doesn't mean the solution is a pill or something.
00:37:34.660
Like, there are other options for you to help you cope and to, you know, maybe it's diet.
00:37:42.940
And it's like, did your doctor tell you that before they were?
00:37:46.560
Like, did the doctor mention any of those things?
00:37:49.140
Like, hey, maybe you should just go for a jog or maybe get a hobby.
00:37:57.440
But sometimes people are born into toxic, horrible families.
00:38:01.780
So maybe, like, have we explored going to church?
00:38:05.760
Like, have you been on magnesium, which is really, really effective in helping cure, like, depression and anxiety?
00:38:12.760
Have, like, I am, again, projecting and guessing here.
00:38:16.620
But I'm guessing the doctor has not talked about that stuff with her.
00:38:21.060
It's just like, oh, we tried this depression medication and this anxiety pill and it didn't work.
00:38:32.380
No, it's, and it's crazy that this many young, because there were a lot of comments on this, too, kind of being like, oh, so one user commented, I'm applying for MAID as soon as I turn 18.
00:38:43.360
Another person wrote, I wish I had access to this TBH.
00:38:46.320
And someone else said, it's okay to want to consider it.
00:38:52.260
This is purely about you, sending you support whichever path you choose.
00:38:55.420
So, basically, just a bunch of people telling this person, yeah, go for it.
00:39:00.760
Isn't that, like, when people pile on on Twitter and tell someone to kill themselves, like, isn't that, like, a bannable offense?
00:39:14.100
And why aren't we wondering why so many young people are feeling this hopeless?
00:39:18.340
If these are, like, teenagers, we should maybe think about why.
00:39:30.220
But maybe, hey, maybe we should be, like, questioning why there's so many young people suffering.
00:39:35.940
And I'm wondering if maybe the pandemic had something to do with it.
00:39:40.280
I'm sure lockdowns were really wonderful for our youth's mental health.
00:39:49.860
The government website says, if you are experiencing a lot of pain and suffering due to your medical situation, talk to your physician or nurse practitioner about options in relation to your medical condition or circumstances and your possible interest in MAID.
00:40:19.360
Do they, what if there's incentive for our medical practitioners to perform these things?
00:40:23.520
Well, the fact that they're going to save $62 million a year in health care.
00:40:39.880
You're like, oh, I have, like, breast tenderness.
00:41:00.720
Canadian parents have asked for medically assisted death for babies.
00:41:07.760
But it's not just, like, random healthy babies, at least.
00:41:14.240
So doctors say explicit requests for MAID have come from parents involving very young children.
00:41:20.820
Most parents when faced with this, oh, the tragic scenario is some babies are born with, like, layers of their brain missing.
00:41:32.680
And they're never going to experience any sort of cognitive anything.
00:41:42.220
So, these parents, apparently, so this is a quote.
00:41:47.340
When most parents faced with this tragic scenario opt not to pursue aggressive treatments to prolong the child's life without interventions, the child will die slowly over the course of weeks.
00:41:58.980
Then it goes on to say, some families ask, if they're going to die at the end of this anyways, maybe three weeks from now, and we don't believe they're going to have a meaningful, positive experience between then and now, why must we all go through this period of waiting?
00:42:13.820
I find it interesting because I wouldn't want that blood on my hands.
00:42:22.700
And it's your job, literally, not to kill them.
00:42:24.640
It's literally your only job is not to kill your child.
00:42:27.940
So, sit with them for the three weeks, if that's how it's going to go.
00:42:30.440
I think the choice of letting them die naturally is better.
00:42:34.480
I think that this, this little baby, even if it is, if it is born missing some parts, let's say, it was made in the image of God.
00:42:41.920
But, it's a human being, and one of the criticisms of this is that an infant cannot consent to their own death.
00:42:51.720
And you're letting, you're putting this, this baby is born with rights, even if it can't defend itself or advocate for itself.
00:42:58.580
So, why are we throwing their rights out the window?
00:43:06.900
They don't want to sit at a hospital bed for another couple weeks.
00:43:10.820
Like, that's a worst case scenario as a parent, and I don't wish that on anyone, and it's horrifying, and I'm so sorry that that's happened.
00:43:17.100
No, it's so, I can't even imagine how horrible it is.
00:43:19.780
But, if that happens to me, to anyone, my job is to sit with my kid for those last three weeks, and choke down the tears, and hold their hand.
00:43:36.160
Like, and that would also be horrible, by the way.
00:43:41.580
So, there's a little bit of a difference there.
00:43:45.120
And I just don't understand why a parent could do that to their child.
00:43:53.140
Like, we have to assume that the kid is not in active pain.
00:43:56.580
Because they're, like, they didn't even say, like, oh, the kid is in so much excruciating pain.
00:44:01.640
They're saying they're not going to have any positive, meaningful experiences.
00:44:05.700
Sometimes, like, a week's without positive, meaningful experiences.
00:44:09.700
Like, at least they're not saying this kid is, like, in excruciating pain.
00:44:14.700
It's, like, they're just saying, well, it's not going to get better.
00:44:34.480
He's not having positive experiences in his life.
00:44:41.280
Let's take him to the hospital for a quick, quick injection there.
00:44:47.620
And we say that it won't, like, oh, ha, ha, ha, that'll never happen.
00:44:51.320
We went from, like, medical-assisted death for people who are literally on their deathbed
00:44:56.060
and they're in pain and you just want to speed it up for them.
00:44:59.660
To, yeah, to infanticide and to people, I'm depressed, I have anxiety, I'm 18.
00:45:03.760
Okay, you can kill yourself medically through the system.
00:45:11.600
But you need to know about it and you need to tell people about it.
00:45:17.120
But I think leaving Canada is our safest bet at this point.
00:45:20.580
Or at least, like, if you have a friend who's suffering, like, try and be there for them.
00:45:25.600
When someone's suffering, don't let them suffer alone.
00:45:28.400
Bring them into your community, into your family.
00:45:32.180
Like, do whatever you can to bring people into your world to make them feel better instead
00:45:35.660
of letting them think that this is their only option.
00:45:39.060
There is always a light at the end of the tunnel.
00:45:48.920
Like, he literally knows every single hair on your head.
00:46:22.780
Get help from anyone but in the medical system.
00:46:40.800
Like, we've almost been doing this the whole year.
00:46:45.240
