“I’d probably be dead right now”— MP sounds alarm on Canada’s suicide agenda
Conservative MP Andrew Lawton joins Candice Malcolm to discuss Canada’s expanding assisted suicide laws and why he’s fighting back
On today’s episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by Conservative MP Andrew Lawton, who shares his powerful personal story and explains why he’s fighting to stop the expansion of Canada’s assisted suicide laws.
Andrew has launched the “I Got Better” campaign to oppose the 2027 expansion of medical assistance in dying to people suffering solely from mental illness. In a deeply personal video, Andrew reveals that he nearly took his own life during a dark period of depression, and says if today’s laws had been in place then, he wouldn’t be here.
The campaign supports Bill C-218, introduced by MP Tamara Jansen, which would ban MAiD for mental illness alone. Andrew explains why this law is urgently needed, how the current system puts vulnerable Canadians at risk, and why the government should be helping people recover, not offering them death.
Candice and Andrew break down the alarming growth of MAiD in Canada—over 13,000 deaths in 2022 alone, with more on the way—and expose the Trudeau-Carney government’s steady march toward a culture of hopelessness.
Also, Andrew reacts to the City of Montreal fining a church for hosting American Christian singer Sean Feucht. Andrew highlights a troubling pattern where certain faith-based events are targeted while other ideological groups are left alone.
Omar Kadrah got 10 million dollars of OUR tax $$ fromTrudeau..who.then told our veterans we couldn't afford to help them with the mental/ physical issues they got fighting for Canada ..THEN years later offered the MAID..!!!??..These "Liberals" are the people who have destroyed our country and pretty much declared war on us..
Tiergartenstrasse 4 (Aktion 4)
This issue of expanding MAID is becoming frightening. I'm old, so the topic is never far from my mind. Being born at the end of WWII, I grew up in a time where the memories of that horror were still fresh to everyone. Adults talked about it, a lot. I was fascinated by the whole thing, and over the years have done some fairly extensive research.
Here's some actual history on how Nazi Germany handled euthanasia. I won't use the Liberal's cutesy acronym, designed to coat the issue in soft cotton. It's a hard issue, with hard edges, and it's called euthanasia.
Germany and the Nazis knew from the outset, that money was going to be a major factor in deciding the war. They began immediately to cut unnecessary expenses. Amongst their very first targets were psychiatric hospitals. One month after the start of the war, Hitler signed a "euthanasia note" directing doctors to begin "involuntary euthanasia" (how's that for a cutesy substitute for murder?) on the mentally in. He made the order retroactive, a clear indication that this practice had already been in place.
The issue was then expanded to include children, from birth to 17, with mental or physical handicaps, and others. Of interest to today's society, homosexuals, lesbians, and transvestites were deemed mentally ill, and included in the order. There is a wealth of thoroughly documented evidence that the Nazis murdered 250,000 men, women, and children under this program. Murdered by doctors. Hitler knew what he was doing. He passed laws that made it impossible to prosecute doctors for their participation and made that participation mandatory. The program was called T4 or Aktion 4 after the street address of the responsible government bureau. Tiergartenstrasse 4.
If you think it's impossible for this to happen in Canada, think again. We're already halfway there. If you enact euthanasia for the mentally ill, you must, by dictionary definition, precede the word euthanasia, with "involuntary".
Expanding government sponsored euthanasia even one step past its initial purpose - mercy for late-stage, terminally ill people - is beyond wrong. Any further step down that road is nothing more than our fiscally irresponsible government trying to save money.
