Mike Rogers should keep our country’s name out of his lying mouth. For the final time: Canada has never had anything resembling a “death panel”. As an enlightened, compassionate and humane nation we have Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) with very strict eligibility criteria. #cdnpoli #CanadaStrong

It’s hard enough for cities in Canada to do smarter things given how often bad city leaders hurt their own cities. But it’s extra infuriating watching awful provincial premiers sabotaging cities by ripping out good things they FINALLY managed to achieve. Premiers should not have that power, period.

On Jan. 1, 1870, public executions in Canada were banned. The last public execution in Canadian history was on Dec. 7, 1869 when Nicholas Melady was put to death at the Huron District Gaol in Goderich, Ontario for the murder of his father and stepmother.
