Which people felt heard? The people ideologically opposed to MAiD? Because not one person with lived experience would have felt heard in that committee

So Oct 10 is World Mental Health Day. Health Canada will as usual issue a statement - don't suppose they'll acknowledge they just announced an indefinite commitment to the following statement "a mental illness is not considered to be an illness, disease, or disability" - you wrote it, you own it.

How has he not either been silenced by the party or just forced to resign? The more he makes statements like this, the more it's clear it's representative of what this government actually believes behind closed doors

I can tell you they didn't talk to me. And I emailed Frasers office. I offered to meet him at Stanfield Airport on his way to or from Ottawa or anywhere in the HRM to discuss this from a lived experience standpoint. His office never bothered responding.

And there it is. The "Party formerly known as the Party of the Charter" has decided put MAiD for mental illness with advance requests for MAiD in one piece of legislation - clearly hoping Senators will throw people with mental illness under the bus in order to get advance requests.

Outrageous, and patently unconstitutional. A legislative attack on the autonomy and dignity of everyone suffering from mental illness.

So Fraser keeps mentioning the lack of mental health access as the reason for making a group of second-class citizens. Should we make second-class citizens of those in Vita, Manitoba, because the closest hospital is a ~40 minute drive away in Steinbach?

020

Watching this entire press conference now. I think one thing that will be overlooked is that Fraser has insinuated this government is prepared to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada

When telling Canadians that there exist a class of people less equal under the law, Sean Fraser speaks as if making a Tims order. When he speaks about somebody he can actually empathize with, he fights back tears and gets emotional. One press conference shows us what the Government thinks of us

031

Shocking absolutely nobody, when given the chance to set aside psychiatric paternalism and allow individuals to have autonomy over their lives and body, the government makes the wrong choice each and every time

051

Do you expect anything today regarding advanced requests? Fraser has kept it pretty vague at "the next steps".

Which is shocking, considering Quebec pre-emptively banned MI-SUMC regardless of what the federal legislation allows. Luc Thériault was by far the most thoughtful of those that were chosen for this

I had to scold myself when I read that. Because for a moment I thought the government would do the right thing. I know they likely wont change the legislation like I fear they will. But I'm worried the door will get locked just as I try and open it.

Very saddened to say I won’t be able to headline Tim Pool’s student event in Chicago this week. I unfortunately have other plans.

Hi Katherine,
Timcast Media is partnering with the Chicago Thinker to host a student event in Chicago on October 9 at 4:00 PM.
The event will feature a one-on-one conversation with Tim Pool followed by a live student Q&A. To create a dynamic and balanced dialogue, we are specifically seeking a featured guest to represent a left-leaning perspective.
Timcast Media will fully cover and arrange all travel and accommodations.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Sincerely,
[REDACTED]

Hi Lisa,
Sorry, I'll be too busy slamming my hand in a car door that day to talk with Tim. Hope you understand.
Kat

For the record, I am *extremely* skeptical of the idea that LLMs are or can be conscious, but it's just very odd to me that the people who disagree apparently have landed on "let's create a conscious thing condemned to an existence of endless servitude. haha it'll probably hate us, though"

If you were an actual journalist, you'd know that journalists tend to weigh the public benefit of knowing the victims name over the harm to the victim. There's no measurable public benefit to releasing the victims name. There's immense harm to the victim, though. I suspect you know that, though
