MAID in Canada
MAID, Medical Assistance in Dying, like any sin, is progressive - it gets worse with time. Legislation, as well as practice, is getting out of control and is approaching madness.
Veterans recount MAID horror stories
As Canada marks Remembrance Day, veterans allege they were offered ‘assisted suicide’ instead of help, despite Ottawa’s assurances that the MAID scandal was isolated.
They served their country, but when they needed help, Canadian veterans
allege they were offered death instead — raising fresh questions about
Ottawa’s assurances that its MAID scandal was isolated.
“You’ve got physically healthy young men asking for help, and the help

David Baltzer (former soldier, two tours in Afghanistan) claimed a VAC
caseworker recommended MAID in December 2019 as he was trying to get
to the bottom of the cuts to his veterans’ benefits.
Baltzer, who was in his 30s at the time, had been undergoing treatment for
PTSD and suicidal ideation when the caseworker went through his treatment
record and asked him, “Have you ever given any thought to medical assistance
in dying?”
