Stay Free - Russel Brand - Here's the News: Canada Is Helping People To Do WHAT?!

In this episode, Russell Brand takes a look at Canada's new legislation that could pave the way for assisted death for the mentally ill and those with incurable conditions, and why that's a bad thing. He also asks the question: why is it so hard to talk about death? And why does it have to do with eugenics? And does it really matter if you're mentally ill, or if you have a terminal illness that needs to be allowed to die? And why should it matter who gets the right to die first, and who doesn't? And what does that mean for the rest of us who are mentally ill or have incurable illnesses that need to be assisted in dying? And is it a good or bad thing that we don't talk about it? Or is it something we should be talking about at all, because it's inevitable that we will die one day?

00:00:42.000 No, here's the fucking news! 0.98

00:00:51.000 Hello there you Awakening Wanderers, thanks for joining us on our voyage through truth and freedom. 0.97

00:00:55.000 Remember, you can become a supporter of our content and get access to our exclusive interviews like our conversation with Tucker Carlson is up there right now, as well as a whole host of other brilliant assets, such as join us when we chat to Schellenberger, Greenwald, Vandana Shiva, Bobby Kennedy.

00:01:10.000 So join us and become a supporter.

00:01:12.000 Otherwise, stories like this one Might not be correctly covered.

00:01:16.000 I've been aware of this for a while, have you?

00:01:17.000 The idea of euthanasia, assisted dying, and like you, I always thought what they mean is people are terminally ill, they've got a long debilitating, crushing, awful disease, slowly and in anguish and agony, propped up by drugs, eventually we grant them the dignity of an assisted death.

00:01:35.000 Well that all sounds perfectly Reasonable, but there are all sorts of thresholds we might cross when reasoning ourselves to death, and it seems like Canada has crossed many of those thresholds because being considered now for assistance in dying, it seems, are people that are incurably ill, which includes things like mental illness could be deemed incurable.

00:01:54.000 So depressed people, people with anorexia, and guess what's being discussed now?

00:02:00.000 Poor people!

00:02:01.000 Yep, You guessed it, it's depopulation, it's eugenics, it's Canada. 0.98

00:02:05.000 But tell me, importantly, has the guy running the country got a nice haircut?

00:02:09.000 Oh yeah, it's very nice.

00:02:10.000 Oh well, probably they're really liberal then!

00:02:12.000 Let's get into this in some more detail.

00:02:14.000 Today, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau introduced legislation... Look at the words!

00:02:20.000 Right to die in the corner of the screen.

00:02:22.000 Like, firstly it's suggesting you've got the right to die because it's your life, but also that it is right to die.

00:02:28.000 Of course it's inevitable that we will die and so many of the problems I think we face in the world are because of our confusing relationship with death, our inability to accept Our refusal to discuss it.

00:02:38.000 Think of all the complications around wills and legacy and families feuding after death.

00:02:42.000 Think of our inability to tell one another that we feel deep love and emotion or sadness because we're not able to properly compartmentalise, embrace or understand death.

00:02:52.000 But the idea that death is something that's just another life choice, like, I don't know, getting highlights in your hair or nail extensions, is an indication of where modernity is delivering us to.

00:03:04.000 It's a deeply personal issue.

00:03:08.000 It's a deeply personal issue.

00:03:10.000 At least it's not that far from the sort of things that Harold Shipman said.

00:03:14.000 Well sometimes people just don't work anymore and we have to turn them off.

00:03:17.000 People are bad machines.

00:03:18.000 The bad machines don't know that they're bad machines.

00:03:21.000 Harold Chipman was a doctor that just like killing elderly people because by his verdict they were too old.

00:03:27.000 He just decided that's enough of you now Mrs. Johnson. 0.60

00:03:30.000 I've heard about all I'm willing to listen to about those corns.

00:03:33.000 Night night!

00:03:34.000 You can't use reason and rationale to start eliminating people or actually you can and they are and it's leading to dystopia.

00:03:42.000 Some believe it is their only option.

00:03:44.000 We are very concerned about the exclusion of individuals with mental illness.

00:03:49.000 No one should be faced with such an impossible choice.

00:03:53.000 So right, they started it with, of course if you're dying of cancer, oh god, but when you slowly and incrementally start to go, but what also about people who are a bit down in the dumps?

00:04:02.000 I mean, like, there's points in my life I'll tell you candidly, in the last few months, where if someone said, would you like to press this button and die?

00:04:08.000 I'd go, yes.

00:04:09.000 Bye!

00:04:10.000 And I'm pretty glad that that option wasn't available to me.

00:04:13.000 All of us are likely to feel depressed and suicidal at points in our lives, because guess what?

00:04:17.000 We live in a depressing and suicidal world, and this is part of it.

00:04:20.000 The federal government is defending its decision to delay the expansion of medically assisted death to include those suffering from mental illness.

00:04:27.000 It's the second time they've pressed pause on the legislation.

00:04:31.000 Like everything is like a game now.

00:04:33.000 Let's press pause on the legislation and press end on that person's life. 0.94

00:04:37.000 Everything's not a machine.

00:04:38.000 It's not mechanical.

00:04:39.000 We don't fully appreciate and understand reality.

00:04:42.000 There are dimensions or at least aspects to reality and consciousness itself that we don't fully appreciate.

00:04:48.000 And is this a It's this assumption that we've arrived at the zenith of what it is to be human that's leading to this kind of dystopia, I believe.

00:04:55.000 The question here is a state of readiness.

00:04:57.000 And so what I think we're going to be looking for on that basis is the preponderance of reasonable opinion that the system is ready.

00:05:05.000 And at this point in time, that isn't the case.

00:05:07.000 What that man's saying is, is the obstacle to activating this program is not a moral, ethical, or existential examination of the issues, but just because they haven't got the death factories fully operable yet.

00:05:21.000 It's a pragmatic issue, there's Delaney.

00:05:23.000 Once we've got Put that death system in place, enough beds, enough tubes, enough injections, whatever means they're going to be dispatching people.

00:05:31.000 Then it's go, go, go, because there's no other obstacles.

00:05:33.000 I mean, the very idea that mentally ill people actually should be able to make that decision is by definition absurd because, oh, I don't understand reality. 1.00

00:05:42.000 I'm mentally ill. 1.00

00:05:43.000 Well, would you like to die? 1.00

00:05:44.000 Yeah, I suppose so. 0.99

00:05:45.000 And would you like to marry this ice cream?

00:05:47.000 She's gorgeous.

00:05:47.000 Why not?

00:05:48.000 Hey, that ice cream is a boy and you just misgendered it, which I'm afraid is death.

00:05:53.000 Currently, medical assistance in dying has two tracks.

00:05:56.000 First legalized in 2016 with safeguards, track one refers to a request for made by a person whose death is reasonably foreseeable.

00:06:05.000 Reasonably foreseeable.

00:06:06.000 Like, you've got liver cancer, it's spread, you're gonna die, it's getting worse, you've got no will to live, you've spoken to everyone.

00:06:13.000 Reasonable, I suppose.

00:06:14.000 This is where they get us, isn't it?

00:06:15.000 It's like, they get you to agree.

00:06:16.000 Well, under some circumstances, would you agree that a person should have the right to end their own life?

00:06:21.000 Yeah, I suppose so.

00:06:22.000 In fact, maybe all of us have the right to end our own life, I suppose.

00:06:25.000 Because when you start talking about state intervention and facilitation, then we're getting into some weird, weird moral territory.

00:06:31.000 In 2021, MADE expanded to include Track 2.

00:06:35.000 What about Track 2?

00:06:36.000 What's on Track 2?

00:06:37.000 Requests made by a person whose natural death is not reasonably foreseeable.

00:06:42.000 Well, that's everyone!

00:06:43.000 That's all of us!

00:06:45.000 Like, look at what the categories are now.

00:06:47.000 Is your death naturally foreseeable?

00:06:48.000 Yeah.

00:06:49.000 Terminal cancer.

00:06:50.000 Okay, tick.

00:06:51.000 The other category is not reasonable, but that's everyone.

00:06:54.000 Also, that's the opposite of one.

00:06:56.000 It's reasonably foreseeable.

00:06:57.000 Fair enough.

00:06:58.000 We're meddling in God's domain. 0.99

00:07:00.000 We'll admit that.

00:07:01.000 And furthermore, what about the opposite of that?

00:07:03.000 Or what about this?

00:07:03.000 Anyone?

00:07:04.000 We all start taking rifles and picking people off in the middle of the street.

00:07:08.000 While we're at it, why don't we invade Yemen? 1.00

00:07:10.000 We're already invading Yemen. 0.99

00:07:11.000 Oh, good.

00:07:12.000 The number of reported May deaths in Canada has seen a steady increase, going from just over 1,000 in 2016 to over 13,000 in 2022.

00:07:20.000 Whee! 1.00

00:07:21.000 It's the new COVID!

00:07:25.000 But this time it's good!

00:07:27.000 Extraordinary!

00:07:28.000 It's popular, innit?

00:07:29.000 This will be regarded as some sort of success, but this is depopulation, isn't it?

00:07:34.000 Isn't that supposed to be a conspiracy theory, depopulation?

00:07:37.000 13,000 across a population the size of Canada doesn't represent anything at all.

00:07:40.000 There's more to life than quantifying things through statistics.

00:07:43.000 There's this other thing called governments killing members of its own population because they're depressed.

00:07:48.000 Probably because they're a member of that population.

00:07:51.000 Psychiatrists are trained to deal with people in crisis.

00:07:55.000 But some are now having their own crisis of confidence when it comes to medically assisted dying.

00:08:01.000 Our role as therapists, as psychiatrists, is in suicide prevention.

00:08:06.000 And so to ask us to then facilitate suicide is very dissonant.

00:08:10.000 You're a psychiatrist, yes, and so what is your main function as a psychiatrist?

00:08:14.000 To help people to be grateful and happy to live.

00:08:16.000 And haven't you found that difficult?

00:08:17.000 Yes, it is difficult, but it's very rewarding on those occasions when you're able- I'm gonna stop you there. 0.98

00:08:21.000 Why don't we just let them kill themselves and in fact encourage them and do it for them? 0.93

00:08:26.000 The laws around medical assistance in dying, or MAID, are set to expand, including Canadians with mental illness. 0.99

00:08:26.000 What?! 0.99

00:08:33.000 One in four people, I think, right now, suffer from mental illness, and at some point, it's everybody!

00:08:33.000 That's everyone!

00:08:38.000 How did you feel during the pandemic?

00:08:39.000 How do you feel about these escalating wars?

00:08:41.000 How do you feel about fuel prices, grocery crisis, existential ontological crisis?

00:08:45.000 How do you feel about living in a world where suicide's being turned into someone's job?

00:08:50.000 But medical experts across the country warn Canada's healthcare system is not ready.

00:08:55.000 Because I suppose it is a bit of an inversion of your best practices to go from keeping people alive to killing people. 1.00

00:09:02.000 Instead of selling you apples and bananas, we're gonna shoot you! 0.95

00:09:05.000 I mean, it's such a radical change of what the function of everything is. 0.97

00:09:09.000 Isn't it odd?

00:09:10.000 This is emerging out of a country like Canada.

00:09:12.000 Which to about like, you know, five, 10 years ago, I just thought, what's Canada like?

00:09:16.000 Oh, it's probably a bit like America, but just less mad and less intense.

00:09:19.000 America's got the obligation and pressure of policing the world and generating the global culture.

00:09:24.000 Go Canada now.

00:09:24.000 How are you feeling?

00:09:25.000 I'm a bit down in the dumps.

00:09:26.000 Oh, really?

00:09:27.000 What are you doing?

00:09:28.000 And we already know there's not really clear consensus on a definition of, for example, what it means for someone to have a mental illness that is incurable or irremediable.

00:09:37.000 So we already know there's this risk of inconsistent application of MADE.

00:09:41.000 Isn't that doctor, and don't be childish about her name's analysis, very interesting?

00:09:45.000 That it's too amorphous, diffuse and difficult to determine.

00:09:49.000 It's a spectrum, it's a scale.

00:09:50.000 And do you notice how Often, the culture is creating these weird things that are difficult to define. 0.73

00:09:55.000 Like, oh, mentally ill. 0.98

00:09:57.000 What is hate speech? 0.95

00:09:58.000 We'll tell you later.

00:09:59.000 Doesn't it seem like the opportunity for extraordinary authority is being created?

00:10:04.000 Because we started with, oh, this person is terminally ill.

00:10:07.000 There's no foreseeable future for them.

00:10:08.000 Would you agree?

00:10:09.000 Yeah, there's no foreseeable future.

00:10:11.000 And what about if there is a foreseeable future? 0.61

00:10:13.000 Oh, bloody hell. 0.99

00:10:13.000 And what if they not even wanted to die, but we want them to die because they're truckers? 0.99

00:10:18.000 We froze their bank accounts, they're hungry now and they're depressed.

00:10:22.000 When does this end?

00:10:23.000 Why does this begin?

00:10:25.000 Can't you see, and sense at least, that there's a kind of rational, data-driven desire to control areas of reality that aren't the business of the government?

00:10:37.000 That's what I'm trying to say.

00:10:38.000 Patricia Nichols told a parliamentary committee that her brother Alan was suicidal when he checked into the Chilliwack Hospital, July 16th, 2019.

00:10:47.000 Ten days later, he died with medical assistance.

00:10:50.000 Oh my god, it's actually happening to people.

00:10:53.000 I know people in recovery.

00:10:55.000 When you're an alcoholic and a drug addict, once you've stopped drinking and taking drugs, you don't even really think about drinking and taking drugs.

00:11:00.000 Until you think about it, it's like, I don't want to live anymore.

00:11:02.000 It's normal.

00:11:03.000 It happens all of the time.

00:11:04.000 I speak to people every single day.

00:11:07.000 I've felt it myself loads of times.

00:11:09.000 We talk to each other.

00:11:10.000 That's what you do, is you connect with one another and you tell people, I don't think I can do this anymore.

00:11:14.000 Don't worry about it.

00:11:15.000 You're not always going to feel like this.

00:11:16.000 It's going to be okay.

00:11:17.000 We're going to get through it.

00:11:18.000 There are principles that go beyond the fulfillment of yourself.

00:11:21.000 You're part of something bigger.

00:11:23.000 There's a way through this.

00:11:23.000 There's a way through it.

00:11:24.000 Oh well, see you then Alan.

00:11:26.000 That's not the answer.

00:11:27.000 It's broken.

00:11:28.000 That means we've got nothing to live for.

00:11:30.000 I see this as a step towards the end of reason for living for all of us in a way.

00:11:37.000 How can our government even be looking at expanding made laws?

00:11:40.000 Because this is the same country where they introduced those emergency laws as well.

00:11:43.000 Like, we felt it was a bit of an emergency, so we thought we might invoke the Emergencies Act.

00:11:48.000 They're all cool things like Justin Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland.

00:11:52.000 Like, everyone's names would make you think of them in some, like, cuddly hobbit world. 0.95

00:11:55.000 This is an emergency. 1.00

00:11:57.000 They should be killed. 1.00

00:11:57.000 It's amazing. 1.00

00:11:58.000 There's a Nazi in Parliament. 0.93

00:11:59.000 What the hell's going on in Canada?

00:12:01.000 There are currently no laws protecting the vulnerable.

00:12:04.000 Here he is, Justin Trudeau.

00:12:08.000 Before you think that he might be an extraordinary creature of globalism facilitating dystopia, I invite you once again to look at how nice his hair is before you don't leap to any conclusions.

00:12:19.000 We understand that making sure we're respecting people's rights and their choices.

00:12:24.000 Rights?

00:12:25.000 This is mental.

00:12:25.000 Choices?

00:12:26.000 We're off track.

00:12:27.000 At the same time as we protect the most vulnerable.

00:12:30.000 Gotta protect the most vulnerable.

00:12:30.000 Vulnerable.

00:12:32.000 It's a very important but challenging balance to establish.

00:12:36.000 Psychiatrists fear that balance will be even harder to strike with the healthcare system under immense pressure.

00:12:42.000 Telling my patients that you will make it easier for them to die has enraged me.

00:12:47.000 They will die because of lack of services.

00:12:49.000 They will die because psychiatrists will now have legal permission to give up.

00:12:54.000 Yeah, it's an indication that there's been a subtle shift towards the preservation of life, the celebration of life, the sanctity of life, towards a kind of rational discourse which naturally concludes that it's okay to execute on behalf of the state people that can't participate.

00:13:09.000 It's actually like an anthropological version of Skynet.

00:13:13.000 One day Skynet realised it didn't need people anymore.

00:13:16.000 One day the system realised it didn't need poor people anymore, it didn't need depressed 0.99

00:13:20.000 people anymore, it didn't need mentally ill people anymore, and it just slowly started

00:13:23.000 to dispatch with them.

00:13:24.000 That's what this is.

00:13:25.000 It's a window into something more horrifying.

00:13:27.000 You know, the people that are behind this stuff will go, look at Russell Brown, it's

00:13:31.000 They're missing what my diagnosis is.

00:13:33.000 I recognise at the moment it's 13,000 people a year.

00:13:35.000 I watch the statistic, I watch the graph, I can see at the moment it's incremental compared to the number of people dying of cancer, although that's gone up a lot lately.

00:13:42.000 Other people dying from heart disease, although that's gone up a lot lately, it's not significant.

00:13:46.000 Or people taking their own lives anyway, although that's gone up a lot lately.

00:13:49.000 What this shows you is state-sponsored death.

00:13:53.000 is becoming normalized.

00:13:55.000 And look at the way that these kind of ideas have been progressing and normalized elsewhere in the culture, and you'll see that what we're witnessing is the sprouting of a dystopic seed.

00:14:05.000 The countdown to Joni Cowie's death has begun.

00:14:09.000 Like many disabled Canadians, she is stuck in a cycle of poverty and despair.

00:14:14.000 Jesus Christ, she's stuck in a cycle of poverty and despair.

00:14:17.000 Think about what's going on in Canada.

00:14:19.000 Think about what we're spending our time doing.

00:14:20.000 Can't we all be talking to one another and communicating with one another and helping and loving one another?

00:14:25.000 Or is our purpose here to just be sort of cellular drones receiving censored information from the state, putting stickers in our windows and blindly complying?

00:14:35.000 So she's planning to end her life with the government's help. 1.00

00:14:40.000 They can have me dead in 90 days. 0.98

00:14:42.000 That's what I was told.

00:14:44.000 Like in my case, the problem is not really the disability.

00:14:47.000 It is the poverty.

00:14:49.000 What? 0.91

00:14:50.000 These people are openly saying I can't afford to be alive anymore, so I'm going to allow the state to kill me.

00:14:58.000 Les Landry is in the same position.

00:15:01.000 Wanting to live, but seeing no other option than death.

00:15:05.000 Since when did we stop looking at the value of human life in this country?

00:15:09.000 My God.

00:15:10.000 We do this stuff all the time and sometimes you see things that make you recognize that what we're talking about is real.

00:15:16.000 There is a shift in values.

00:15:17.000 There's something nefarious and terrifying taking place that's going to require a kind of transition, a change of spirit to countenance it.

00:15:25.000 Okay, let's get into some reporting.

00:15:26.000 And what I want to point out here, some of this reporting is from the Washington Examiner, which is very right-wing.

00:15:31.000 And some of the reporting is taken from Jacobin, which is very left-wing.

00:15:35.000 Which shows you when it comes to basic human principles, actually, those kind of categories are irrelevant when compared to things like the sanctity of life and our integral connection to one another.

00:15:44.000 Canada's immoral decision to encourage people who are inconvenient to society to kill themselves seems to have finally found a line that Canadian citizens may not want to cross.

00:15:53.000 Canada has rapidly pushed towards handing out euthanasia like handing out candy on Halloween, but the country is being forced to delay its latest expansion because it does not have enough doctors and psychiatrists to sign off on killing the mentally ill.

00:16:05.000 Again, It's only had cause for pause and thought because of the implementation of this policy, not because of the implications of this policy.

00:16:15.000 The decision to include mentally ill people as eligible for euthanasia comes from the idea that anything that is incurable, even if it won't lead to that person dying, should be enough of a reason to allow someone to consider euthanasia.

00:16:26.000 How long before you go, Everyone dies anyway.

00:16:29.000 Keep talking. 1.00

00:16:30.000 How about we kill people we don't like right now? 1.00

00:16:33.000 Like truckers! 0.99

00:16:33.000 This isn't the first expansion and death-happy Canadian officials will certainly find enough doctors or cut enough corners to ensure the latest one can go through as well. 0.99

00:16:41.000 People with anorexia have already been given the green light for suicide and a growing number of young Canadians think that poverty should also be included as eligible criteria.

00:16:50.000 It's so extraordinary.

00:16:51.000 Anorexia is so serious and confusing and I know loads of you have been affected by it.

00:16:54.000 But the challenge is, why is this happening and how do we stop it?

00:16:59.000 And as for poverty, same question.

00:17:00.000 Why is this happening and how do we stop it?

00:17:02.000 Not, well, I suppose if those people were rubbed out.

00:17:05.000 This is where the function and role of the legacy and mainstream media is called into question.

00:17:12.000 When you think about Tucker Carlson's interview with Vladimir Putin, the assumption was that that shouldn't take place because we don't have the right to hear what Vladimir Putin might say to Tucker.

00:17:21.000 What if he's lying?

00:17:22.000 What if he's using his own propaganda?

00:17:23.000 Well, what if we want the right to decide for ourselves, given that we're collectively spending billions and billions of dollars and pounds perpetuating that war?

00:17:30.000 Look at the way that this issue is being created and presented and curated.

00:17:35.000 These people, they're so poor, it's so sad, it's so dreadful.

00:17:38.000 Well, think for a moment about how your country is being built, how your tax dollars are being spent, how a legacy media averts your attention from certain issues and presents you information in a particular way, when what is clearly required is a radical overhaul of how society is organised.

00:17:53.000 Right, hold on a minute.

00:17:54.000 I'm giving nearly half my money every single week, every single month, every single day to the government because they're supposed to be investing it in infrastructure and society and creating even the concept of Canada.

00:18:04.000 There is no Canada without the population, the land mass and the collective resources and the sets of ideals and laws and governance that are derived from it.

00:18:12.000 And if it's leading to the normalisation of suicide or killing people because they're poor, do you think it might be time to have a look at what our values are?

00:18:22.000 You sound like you might be a bit depressed.

00:18:24.000 I am depressed.

00:18:25.000 Mm-hmm.

00:18:27.000 90-90?

00:18:28.000 As well as depressed, you're a bit of a Putin apologist.

00:18:30.000 No, no, I just sort of thought I might like to hear... No, no, too late!

00:18:32.000 Night-night!

00:18:33.000 Hearing loss has also been included.

00:18:35.000 Sorry, what was that?

00:18:36.000 I said hearing loss has also... Too late!

00:18:38.000 And medical bureaucracies have been accused of pushing patients to agree to kill themselves. 0.72

00:18:43.000 Of course they bloody are.

00:18:44.000 Of course they are. 0.99

00:18:45.000 Of course.

00:18:45.000 They're like, you know, from COVID, with COVID, take the vaccine.

00:18:48.000 I mean, this is what these mad bureaucracies are plainly generating.

00:18:52.000 Canada's culture of death has caused its euthanasia policy to snowball from the ever-debated concept of allowing people with terminal health problems to end their lives, to pushing for suicides for people who aren't going to die but have mental health troubles, or if a large chunk of young Canadians get this, people who are poor.

00:19:07.000 People with mental health problems are just too inconvenient for Canada's healthcare industry apparently, and you can imagine that this plan will continue to move forward once Canadian politicians scrounge up enough doctors to start signing death certificates.

00:19:19.000 This should be a red flag for Canada to stop this policy and re-evaluate every word of it, especially given that Canadian doctors were the sixth leading cause of death in the country in 2021 due to this policy, and they put down over 13,000 people in 2022.

00:19:32.000 Oh my god, they're putting down people now.

00:19:34.000 They're putting down people.

00:19:36.000 Fast-tracking patients into graves to save money under the guise of helping them is a disgrace, especially when the volume is so large that you need to find more doctors to keep up with the state-approved killings.

00:19:47.000 My god, that's out of control, isn't it?

00:19:49.000 They actually can't keep up with the rate of executing their own unhappy people.

00:19:54.000 No wonder so many people are so unhappy.

00:19:56.000 This is a real Cash22 situation they're generating. 0.77

00:19:59.000 We don't have enough doctors to kill all the people.

00:20:01.000 Why are the people so unhappy? 0.54

00:20:02.000 Because they're living in Canada. 0.84

00:20:03.000 The legalisation of MAID brought to the fore some disturbing moral calculations, particularly with its expansion in 2019 to include individuals whose deaths aren't reasonably foreseeable.

00:20:14.000 That's everyone.

00:20:15.000 This change opened the floodgates for people with disabilities to apply to die rather than survive on meagre benefits. 1.00

00:20:21.000 Euthanasia in Canada represents the cynical endgame of social provisioning within the brutal logic of late-stage capitalism. 0.98

00:20:28.000 We'll starve you of the funding you need to live a dignified life, demand you pay back pandemic aid you applied for in good faith, and if you don't like it, well, why don't you just kill yourself? 0.86

00:20:36.000 That's the language of the state now. 0.99

00:20:38.000 What used to be the sort of language of a taunting juvenile playground is a discourse you hear from your own government.

00:20:45.000 And while we're on the subject of pandemic aid, guess who made the most money during the pandemic?

00:20:49.000 The very same pharmaceutical organizations that are probably even now working on a new vial, in every sense of the word, to eliminate poor people.

00:20:57.000 Tim Stainton, director of the Canadian Institute for Inclusion and Citizenship at the University of British Columbia, told the Associated Press that Canada's MAID policy is probably the biggest existential threat to disabled people since the Nazis' program in Germany in the 1930s.

00:21:10.000 It can't be a coincidence that Canada and Nazism keep somehow correlating, can it? 0.79

00:21:16.000 They're bringing Nazis into Parliament, Christy Freeland's granddad's a Nazi.

00:21:20.000 There's just something weird going on over there under the sort of peculiar aesthetic of liberalism.

00:21:26.000 And you heard Trudeau there, helping vulnerable people.

00:21:29.000 It keeps leading to killing vulnerable people.

00:21:31.000 This sounds hyperbolic, but there are endless examples of people with disabilities who are offered euthanasia as an alternative to living a life of pain and exclusion.

00:21:40.000 And with the impending expansion of MAID to include people with mental illnesses, the problem is only going to get worse.

00:21:45.000 A piece from Global headlined, How Poverty Not Pain is Driving Canadians with Disabilities to Consider Medically Assisted Death, notes the excruciating cycle of poverty that leads disabled people to choose assisted death rather than live a life filled with barriers to their existence.

00:22:00.000 The result is that according to a 2017 report from Statistics Canada, nearly a quarter of disabled people are living in poverty.

00:22:06.000 That's roughly 1.5 million people, or a city about the population of Montreal.

00:22:10.000 Whilst 13,000, I suppose, dreadful though it is, is a comparatively low number, it's already 13 times as high as it was like a few years ago.

00:22:19.000 And if it exponentially grows at that rate and could include all poor people, and that seems to be part of the plan, it's pretty easy to see how you could get to a place where you're just executing swathes of the population, curating reality.

00:22:33.000 It's terrible similar and how easily affiliated this kind of discourse and reasoning is with the kind of trans humanist we don't need people no more type argument the way that we're sort of just rationalizing ourselves into excluding and eliminating in the most literal terms great sections of the population rather than re-evaluating the set of values that determine behaviors and policies of globalization.

00:22:57.000 Because they actually can be changed.

00:22:59.000 It's not like, oh well, you better all learn the code.

00:23:01.000 Why don't we change everything using our collective power?

00:23:05.000 When people are living in such a situation where they're structurally placed in poverty, is medical assistance in dying really a choice or is it coercion?

00:23:12.000 That's the question we need to ask ourselves, Dr. Nahid Dasani, a palliative care physician in Toronto, told Global.

00:23:19.000 Combined with COVID policies that have consigned disabled and immunocompromised people to a life of perpetual self-isolation, a lack of funding for people on disability assistance makes MAID an increasingly palatable solution to ending their suffering.

00:23:32.000 In this context, the cavalier way in which MAID has been implemented in Canada serves as a form of eugenics where only the able-bodied survive. 0.69

00:23:39.000 Hmm.

00:23:39.000 Many countries which allow MAID have far more safeguards than Canada in ensuring situations like those above don't occur, making it extremely puzzling as to why Canada didn't implement them from the outset.

00:23:48.000 Chief among them is the requirement in Belgium and the Netherlands that doctors must have exhausted all treatment alternatives before offering MAID.

00:23:56.000 Both countries also have monthly commissions to review potentially troubling cases.

00:24:00.000 In the Australian province of Victoria, doctors are prohibited from bringing up Maid at all, unless a patient inquires about it.

00:24:06.000 In Belgium, doctors are discouraged, although not prohibited, from doing so.

00:24:10.000 It's cruel to refuse Maid for people on the verge of death with no prospects for recovery, but it's even crueler to offer death as an alternative to a support system.

00:24:18.000 We've let the May Genie out of his bottle.

00:24:20.000 There's no going back.

00:24:21.000 We must ensure that our healthcare systems have sufficient resources to guarantee everyone, regardless of their ability or mental health, a dignified existence.

00:24:31.000 Very important story, I believe, even though at the moment the numbers are relatively small and even though it could be argued that in its current form, this is simply a form of assisting vulnerable people, however Justin Trudeau would say it.

00:24:44.000 But in the context of our ever-widening set of dystopian possibilities and our ever-narrowing chances of evading that clear plan.

00:24:54.000 It seems that this is yet another of those stories that provides you with an understanding of what the overall agenda is.

00:25:02.000 I through the mist sometimes glance the idea that there are nations that are piling in ideas, territories that are being purchased and acquired, a vision of what we do is we get rid of all those people In a way, we saw it in the pandemic.

00:25:15.000 Ultra-rich people just were bombing about on planes going to Ireland.

00:25:18.000 They weren't bothered.

00:25:19.000 They carried on.

00:25:20.000 I know that.

00:25:21.000 I didn't experience it.

00:25:21.000 I live in the countryside.

00:25:22.000 I'm all right.

00:25:22.000 You know, it wasn't that bad for me.

00:25:24.000 But I know some people were annihilated and destroyed by it.

00:25:26.000 And the pandemic was a kind of a piloting in itself in some ways.

00:25:29.000 I'm not suggesting it was a false flag or any of those things.

00:25:31.000 But it was a piloting of what happens when you increase measures of control, when you increase stress, when you reduce the financial possibility.

00:25:39.000 It's just that it was an extraordinary period.

00:25:40.000 And it's just so odd to me that a country Like Canada, who along with Australia I would have seen as a sort of anglophonic, not so fuddy-duddy and mental and imperialistic as old-school Britain, not so warmongering and offensive, you are American, I mean, you know, the elitist establishment of America, not American people, as America, and that these countries are sort of where it's at in a way, like sort of Scandinavias of English-speaking people.

00:26:02.000 But actually, this isn't the reality, is it?

00:26:04.000 They're tied up in Five Eyes ideas.

00:26:06.000 They're globalists.

00:26:07.000 They're practicing Klaus Schwab's wildest dreams.

00:26:10.000 They're signing up to WHO treaties.

00:26:11.000 They're executing the poor and the disabled. 1.00

00:26:14.000 I mean, they're actually quite avant-garde in many of their policies.

00:26:17.000 Whoa, what are you guys doing?

00:26:18.000 If it was art, you'd It's politics.

00:26:22.000 It's people's lives.

00:26:23.000 It's the very type of people that they often claim to represent.

00:26:26.000 The vulnerable.

00:26:27.000 The poor.

00:26:28.000 We need to have a radical re-evaluation of the values and principles that generate these kind of conditions and then solve them by killing the people that are a consequence of those policies and ideas.

00:26:37.000 But that is just what I think.

00:26:39.000 Remember, usually we stream every single day.

00:26:41.000 You can become a supporter of our content and get access to our paywall stuff like our chat with Tucker and our interviews with Greenwald and Schellenberger and Vandana Shiva.

00:26:49.000 And you can join in the questions and be part of this movement.

00:26:51.000 God knows we need you.

00:26:52.000 And I think we all need each other, don't we?
