Western Standard - “It Was Never Going to Stop”： Kelsi Sheren on MAiD in Canada

00:00:00.000 all the made cases that have been going viral, basically internationally.

00:00:05.660 I just wanted to ask you, I guess, do you think this is going to be,

00:00:10.420 maybe there's going to be a breaking point where Canada pushes back on its made policies in the

00:00:17.180 future? No, no, because Canada doesn't push back on anything. Have you seen what happens in our

00:00:24.300 country? Sorry not to be negative, but there's a real harsh reality coming for the rest of

00:00:29.100 Canadians who don't fully understand the system and understand that it was never, ever going to

00:00:34.380 stay as terminally ill. It was never, ever going to stay as an individual, you know, killing grandma

00:00:41.320 within, you know, 10 days of her diet and palliative care. And I understand that, you know, a lot of

00:00:46.620 your listeners probably don't know me, but I am not going to sugarcoat it for you. It was never

00:00:50.960 going to stay that way. They made it very clear in all of their documentation prior to lobbying

00:00:55.020 the government and that's always been the plan they wanted to follow the news um the the same

00:01:01.740 sort of methodology and ideology that they they have in the netherlands they wanted to follow this

00:01:08.060 and they've made that clear america's made that clear that's the path they're going on and every

00:01:12.460 other country that's pushing this way except for scotland recently is you know pushing in this

00:01:17.260 direction because it's really easy when you start to manipulate language to get a society to accept

00:01:22.700 compassion and empathy. It's not compassion and empathy. It's a doctor giving up on you because

00:01:27.080 our healthcare system's broken. And we would rather put money into building new, I don't know,

00:01:33.360 swimming pool centers in Alberta than we would actually pretend that we need hospitals and

00:01:38.180 doctors and surgeons. So of course you have Alberta's new bill that they've been pushing

00:01:42.400 back on. I was lucky enough to speak with Alberta about that and my thoughts on that bill. And

00:01:47.480 although I criticize it, it's a start. It's a start at slowing the bullet train of death.

00:01:52.000 And to be honest with you, a start is something.
