A lack of proper care and inadequate safeguards are driving some Canadians with disabilities to assisted death. The criteria for MAID eligibility are ambiguous and ripe for abuse. Ramona Coelho in the @globeandmail

People are living longer than ever, and we have some of the lowest birth rates in the developed world. Rather than disincentivizing work by expanding Old Age security, the government should focus on youth. @TCSargent and I in @TheHubCanada @MLInstitute

As legislators in the UK consider assisted suicide, they would do well to heed the warnings from Canada - 60,000 deaths since 2016, 13,000 in 2022 alone, and estimates exceeding 15,00 in 2023.

Unrestricted choice in the name of autonomy has become the ultimate value for Canada’s cultural and political elites, giving rise to policies that struggle to establish appropriate limits. @MLInstitute

Dr. Ramona Coelho and I discuss the @ONgov's latest report from the MAiD Death Review Committee. Some disabled Canadians are being offered assisted suicide because they lack access to essential health supports and services.

There has been a definite realignment in politics away from economics to culture, argues @epkaufm in discussion with me on political philosophy in Canada.

Dr Coelho and I continue the conversation on assisted suicide: the vague criteria for MAiD eligibility, the positive value of suffering, the benefits of giving and receiving care and the need for robust palliative and social supports @MLInstitute

The most obviously worrying thing about track 2 MAiD recipients is that none of these people would have otherwise died. They needed care and support, but received MAiD instead.

@shawn_whatley argues the slippery slope metaphor no longer applies. If we were first slipping down the terminal illness slope with increasing MAID usage, we’re now hurtling down another hill altogether. @MLInstitute in the @nationalpost

Numerous mandatory minimum sentences have been repealed and overturned, under stretched interpretations of our constitution beyond the letter and spirit of the law. Targeted amendments for the most serious crimes are needed.

Pleased to join @RobBreakenridge for a discussion on demography, affordability, and family formation.
There has been a cultural de-emphasis on commitment in favour of limitless choice and autonomy.
Marriage and family are the school of love, where we learn to put our selfish instincts aside for the good of others. Every child is born of a mother and father, and there is no substitute for the unconditional love of parents, and a stable family environment for the well-being of children.
