We will meet on the sidewalk in front of Met Hospital at NOON for one hour each day.
COME FOR ONE DAY OR COME FOR ALL! Clean signs appropriate to the topics will be provided.
Euthanasia/Assisted Suicide is one of the topics we will bring to light.
The 2020 Canadian Medical Assistance in Dying report indicates that the number of 'assisted deaths' increased
by more than 34% in that year. There were 7,595 reported deaths, up from 5,660 in 2019, meaning more than
25,000 MAiD deaths have happened in Canada since legalization. Eligibility for MAiD is expanding, with a
push to also allow it (by March of 2023) for persons who only have a mental illness. MAiD is less expensive
than proper Palliative Care or Hospice. We need to advocate for more funds directed at care and patient
assistance in Living instead of the killing of the patient through lethal injection (Euthanasia)
or the less common provision of self-administered drugs (Assisted Suicide).
Canada’s new medical assistance in dying (MAID) law (justice.gc.ca)
The other topic deals with the Right to Life for people with 'disabilities'.
For many, a pre-natal diagnosis leads to an abortion.
For example, "A report to the United Nations demonstrates that abortion has all but eliminated Down
syndrome babies in a number of different “progressive” countries. The rate is about 67% in the U.S. and a
staggering 98% on average in Europe. In Iceland, “all pregnancies during the period 2008-2012, in which
Down-Syndrome was diagnosed, were terminated – 100 percent.” We lack reliable data for Canada,
but we likely fall somewhere between the U.S. and Europe." (Andre Schutten, 2017)
If you've ever had the privilege of attending a Special Olympics event, you would be surrounded by the sheer

ill or disabled. A caring society should take care of its weaker members, not kill them.You can also read
