When the institutions you expect to advocate for what's right let you down, you have to do it yourself. For @dyingwithdignity.ca, a personal reflection on medical assistance in dying (MAID) for mental illness as a sole underlying medical condition: www.dyingwithdignity.ca/blog/i-live-...

I don’t need MAID right now, but someday I might. I’m so rattled by the current discourse on medical assistance…

Isn't this what Powlowski wanted? People killing themselves without involvement of the government medical system?

Finally a judge will look at the passage of time and timelines will be set that the government lawyers will need to meet. It will still take time to get to trial but at least it won't be interminably indefinite.

Of course this doesn't diminish the pain of those who have been waiting for a glimmer of hope in this process only to be met with an egregiously dysfunctional AMAD Committee and an unconscionably slow-to-respond Attorney General. While they aren't listening, know that we are and will keep fighting.

This explains perfectly what the decision did and did not decide. DID NOT decide whether the exclusion of MI-SUMC is constitutional. DID decide Attorney General needs to stop dragging its heels.

Today’s decision did NOT uphold Canada’s exclusion of people with mental disorders from MAiD. The court denied Brosseau an individual exemption while her challenge proceeds. The judge has now ordered that challenge to move forward. Canada will finally have to defend the mental illness exclusion.

Remember, no individual is required to participate in MAiD. This is about allowing willing providers to provide to patients who meet all the eligibility criteria and procedural safeguards - by definition, they are experiencing enduring and intolerable suffering.

This is who the anti-MAiD MI-SUMC co-chairs of AMAD invited to testify. Not… the people whose rights they recommended Parliament take away. Shameful really.

Don't forget so-called bio-ethicist John Mayer saying those of us with mental disorders should just kill themselves and not go out in a more dignified fashion by involving the medical system everyone else gets access to. And saying that, without any pushback, to that committee.

Just a reminder the Parliamentary committee for MAID MI-SUMC said in their report that self-harm via illicit drugs like fentanyl remains an option for individuals. Powlowski should've thrown me off a building himself. @liberalca.bsky.social @mark-carney.bsky.social #MAID MI-SUMC #EqualRights

Kelsi Sheren says she’s being demonetized, censored, and targeted because of her views on MAiD. But there’s a difference between being silenced for your views and being held accountable for the things you choose to say publicly. Sometimes, your own words provide the necessary context.

With MAiD for mental illness continuing to make headlines, new and ongoing court cases, and the federal government still to respond to recommendations from the parliamentary AMAD committee, we thought this month was a good time to focus our quiz on MAiD and mental illness. Enjoy.

I've opened an extremely private medical procedure to researchers and the press. I could say it's because I want to make this more transparent for people. I could say it's because I want the government to face the absurdity of the situation. How much of that is just justification, I'll never know.

Since no one takes me seriously anyway, a couple personal positions I want to make clear on MAID for mental illness: - It has been more than two months since CMHAs National, New Brunswick, Manitoba and Alberta signed onto a letter advocating for a permanent ban on MAID for mental illness.

@seanfraser.bsky.social Will you also disavow this (made after invoking the Ten Commandments): "A state that starts tinkering with the concept of killing being wrong, to rationalize it as 'sometimes justified', is on a very dark path." This is an attack on all MAiD - made in the name of your party.
