The Trudeau government funded an assisted suicide activity book for kids: The Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) Activity Book. Although assisted suicide isn’t available for youngsters under 18, the activity book serves the function of helping kids to:
1. attend an assisted suicide;
2. prepare them in advance to choose an assisted suicide when they reach the age of 18; or
3. normalize assisted suicide.
MAID includes “serious illness, disease or disability.” But it will also include “mental suffering” after March 17, 2023.
The complete disregard for the sanctity of human life and nature (most noted among “progressives”) is gaining increasing traction — from abortion on demand to child grooming by transgender activists, and now to helping young people kill themselves by 18.
A crude and sinister example from the child workbook:
“Canada funded this assisted suicide ‘activity book’ for children,” by Tristin Hopper, National Post, December 21, 2022:
Just as Ottawa publicly acknowledges that its assisted suicide regime might have gone too far, critics have highlighted the existence of a little-known medical assistance in dying children’s activity book that was funded by the Canadian government. The Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) Activity Book was first published in July by the group Canadian Virtual Hospice.
The book is not intended for children who are themselves seeking assisted death, and it’s not subject to mass-distribution through schools or public libraries. Minors are ineligible for medically assisted death in Canada, although there has been a push by the Quebec College of Physicians to extend the practice to severely disabled newborns.
Rather, the activity book is intended for children who may soon be attending a medically assisted death in person. “Created for young people who have someone in their life who may have MAID,” the group declared in a statement.
MAID is defined in the booklet as the use of medicines to stop a “person’s body from working.”
The booklet describes MAID as a last-ditch measure reserved only for consenting adults afflicted with an illness or disability that “hurts their body or their mind so much that it feels too hard to keep living.”
Children are guided through the “three medicines” that constitute the lethal injection process, and are urged not to attempt to change the mind of a family member who has opted for assisted death. “As much as other people may want to change their mind, the person who is choosing MAID probably wishes just as strongly that they could change their illness or condition and how it is affecting their life,” it reads.
Financed by Health Canada, the 26-page booklet was written by Ceilidh Eaton Russell, a McMaster University lecturer and a consultant on grief in children. Russell is also behind the handbook Living Dying: A Guide for Adults Supporting Grieving Children and Teenagers.
The Canadian system of medically assisted death was legalized in 2016 following a Supreme Court of Canada ruling and has rapidly become the world’s most liberalized euthanasia regime. It has attracted international attention in recent months for a string of cases in which patients with chronic illnesses were offered death in lieu of treatment.
This included at least five instances in which Canadian Armed Forces veterans were offered MAID by a Veteran Affairs caseworker after seeking help for chronic conditions including PTSD.
On Tuesday, Minister of Veterans Affairs Lawrence MacAulay called it “harmful misinformation” that veterans were being offered assisted death – despite his own testimony to a House of Commons committee admitting as much……

I don’t even have to wish these people would go to Hell.
They’ve already got First Class tickets.

This Trudeau is the devil,

Have to disagree with you.
Trudolt will NEVER be anything more than a butt kissing lackey.
If Satan wanted to “retire” and ALL the demons of Hell happened to be destroyed, and Trudolt was the ONLY one left to take charge, Satan himself would just shrug and say to the eternally damned, “Welp. Been a good run but, looks like I’m shutting the place down.”
Turdolt is THAT much of an incompetent suck up.

“…the activity book is intended for children who may soon be attending a medically assisted death in person.”
You and your family are cordially invited to attend my suicide, on April 1, 2023 at 2 PM.
Light refreshments will be served.
Children and pets welcome.

Truly sickening – leave children alone in their all too brief innocence

I support people having the right to have life support taken off, and a libertarian part of me even supports legalizing suicide, if that’s what someone wants to do (it would depend on a lot of other factors as well). But this – getting kids to participate in this – is just ghoulish, even for Canada!

Just watched George C Scott film a Christmas Carol released in 1984 ,I think it is one of the best versions of this Dickens story .In the new Turd of the North story Bob Crochet would have little tiny Tim use maid to “cure” his suffering and half of his other children aborted so he could get by on his small salary and “re-duce the surplus population” making the ruling elite proud and happy!

WTF, and Canada does not have the death penalty for evil murdering bastards, or child rapists or thieves, or whoever, but they want to teach their young people how to die, or help others who wish to die, for whatever reason….JIhadi Justin should, in his wisdom, realize that muslims are suffering inside their heads as they get taught evil against everybody else so perhaps they could try and get them all to commit suicide, without blowing themselves up that is.

Jihad Justin the Turd cannot be reformed or redeemed maybe for the sake of Canada Justin the Turd takes MAID exit out of office.
