Uggh. I was talking to a person who said MAID was forced on their family member. I was like WTF and explained they need consent, so they said their family member went in for an exploratory surgery and then the family all got called in because the docs said he had only hours left.
They show up and the person is not hooked up to machines or IV etc, and they asks why. The answer is because they are dying. Family freaks out and demands IV, and other remedies to get the person back to health.
I’m like OK, so all is good? Their reply was no the family member died 5 days later due to cancer.
SMH. So you put that person through an extra week of hell.
Also what was happening: that’s not MAID anyway if a person just fades away from dying by refusing medical tratment, its not a dose to end your life.
This is literally a fake scenario based on a bunch of fake numbers that was circulated on twitter.
It’s basically propaganda…
I am getting so sick of alt-right nutcases making up stories that they themselves would rather have a leading role in.
We all know most of the alt-right is just itching to unalive anyone not like them.
Well, euthanizing 1/3 of the population would certainly help alleviate the housing crisis…
Even if we limit ourselves to homes within city limits (so we aren’t talking about backwoods cabins, here), Canada has about 6 empty homes for every homeless person.
The problem isn’t a lack of homes, the problem is an excess of “investors” looking for a labour-free income stream parasitized off of the backs of the working class.
“The cheapest thing in the long run would be to shoot all of us”- an old professor of mine
Seven billion bullets are not cheap.
But we’d never have to feed or house anyone again
This CBC article claims that in 2023, in Alberta Canada, a box of 50 9mm rounds cost $13 retail. That’s $0.26 a shot. Multiply that by 7 billion and you get $1.8 billion.
I assume Alberta Canada is not the cheapest place to buy 9mm rounds, and that if you were buying 7 billion rounds some kind of economy of scale would kick in, and that you could get a better price even just as wholesale rather than retail. Oh and that’s Canadian Dollars. But that’s still an upper bound.
$1.8 billion dollars is more than I have, but is not more than anyone has.
Toronto is Canada’s largest city, and is the 4th largest city in North America. In 2025 they spent about 1.8 billion Canadian dollars of their budget on “Community and Social Services” alone. That’s child services, fire, paramedic, parks and rec, shelters, that sort of stuff.
I’m not advocating for shooting every human on Earth, but for the cost of parks and shelters and ambulances for a single year in the 4th largest city in North America, we could make that happen.
It’s the federal government so we would somehow manage to pay about three times market price for them
We’re running an experiment on this new product, Soylent Green… Interested in participating?
It would destroy a lot of other parts as well. I would have to bet a number of these people still work some sort of job even if part time, babysit for family members, still provide something to their community in a way. Sadly there are a lot of people who do believe measures to depopulate would be a good thing.
among vulnerable groups — defined as “individuals with severe mental health issues, the homeless, drug users, retired elderly, and Indigenous communities”
Who missed that ‘Indigenous Communities’ thing?
This is right out of the ‘White Supremacist’ agenda, and tops even Hitler’s Germany.
As per usual the anti maid crowd made up imaginary numbers for the “study”
I seriously think everything on Twitter is bots now.
Such silliness. Who would pay for the ramp-up in mortuary facilities?
Considering that there have only been 13,287,523 total deaths in Canada since 1950, that is a huge step-up in demand.
Methinks they left out that bit about mass graves.
Or run the crematorium 24/7 until it melts or clogs.
This article is trash.
Yea it’s not the best. but it’s calling out lies so I figured it was worth sharing.
Because it refutes a bunch of lies? Is that why it’s trash?
I think it’s trash because it starts with the “story” being “someone said this outrageous thing on a podcast”. Then the “both sides” counter argument is from actual medical professionals and people who have a clue.
Typically, journalism frames an issue and then covers some counterpoints to give some nuance. This time, they (bewilderingly) accept conspiracy theory nonsense as their story (when it shouldn’t have been written in the first place), then the sanity comes in as though it’s a counter point.
It has a low journalism factor. When one writes an article, it’s important to deliver to the reader certain facts right away; who’s involved, setting, etc.
This article starts with “a podcast” and then doesn’t say which one. It then goes on for a while not giving the reader who isn’t privy to the background any relevant context. So we’re left having to re-read the whole thing twice just to parse what the fuck it’s about.
Trash writing.
Fun? fact
Speak for yourself…
