Justice Minister David Lametti under fire for ‘unbelievable’ comparisons between euthanasia and suicide
Did Justice Minister David Lametti say the quiet part out loud?
In a recent interview for the Star’s “It’s Political” podcast, Lametti conflated medical assistance in dying (MAID) and suicide. After I expressed reservations about the expansion of MAID in March to people with mental illness without adequate social and medical supports, Lametti told me to “remember that suicide generally is available to people. This is a group within the population who, for physical reasons and possibly mental reasons, can’t make that choice themselves to do it themselves. And ultimately, this provides a more humane way for them to make a decision they otherwise could have made if they were able in some other way.”
Socialism always ends in mass murder. It’s a feature not a bug.
