MAID is a newish offering. Before MAID, you would often be told there was nothing to be done, except inducing a twlight dreamstate via opioids.

People have choices. Letting them know what they are is not coercive. I do think that disability support should be at a level that equates to a living wage and now it is gar from that. I can see how the pressure of enforced poverty could make one give up hope.

You are making things up. Canada, definitely has procedural safeguards and guidance. I am glad we offer humans the dignity in dying, that we, at our best, offer our pets. www.canada.ca/en/health-ca...

In a major move, U.S.-based Lowe’s decided to sell its Canadian operations. RONA was sold to Sycamore Partners, a U.S. private equity firm, but soon after, RONA was spun off and restructured as an independent Canadian-owned business again, headquartered in Boucherville, Quebec.

There are many sound reasons to really grow SCOTUS - population growth, increasing the number of lawsuits. The increasing complexity of the law with emergent booming areas including intellectual property, and now AI violating rigjts and committing crimes. A large bench would allow multiple panels.

When poorly designed wealth taxes don't work, the answer is not to give up on them but to learn, redesign and try again. A 2% tax on all wealth would, assuming a 6% return on equity, be about the same as a 35% income tax.

A good example, is the precuror to today's tech lords, IBM. Every Nazi concentration camp maintained an IBM puchcard department to track prisoners and concludes that the camps could not have processed their numbers without IBM’s machines, service, and cards

Compare Toronto to MTL. Toronto's trees are stuck in ravines, as buildings go vertical. Montreal is mostly low-rise, with a ubiquitous tree canopy.

The senate and electoral college make the US system quite undemocratic, though sort-of representative. Then Citizens United.

Do we need a politically science glossary here? Democracies can be direct (swiss cantons), or representative, also republics (presidential) or constitutional monarchies (parliamentary)

A lower Canadian dollar means goods sold by Canada are cheaper than the same US goods. Helps Canada out-compete the US.

When the rate of return on capital (r) exceeds the rate of economic growth (g), the share of national income going to capital owners increases, inversely the labour share of income declines. Pickett notes that r>g is the historical norm and policy is necessary to address wealth concentration

4.2 million people per scrotum- 1869 38 million people per scrotum- 2026 Not even factoring in growth legal complexity, the court is 1/20th of the capacity it once had. Trippling the number of seats would allow for 3 rotating panels of nine judges which seems like a more right-sized court.
