There's no stopping Canada's euthanasia lobby

Another ATIP.

Dying with Dignity is in the business of promoting the killing of people through euthanasia. This is why they exist. In 2023 they joined with Dr. Anvita Dixit and Joyce Arthur to write a report Exploring the impact of belief-based denial of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) on those seeking services: A multi-methods qualitative study in Canada. The study is focused on conscientious objection, which is a huge problem for those in the euthanasia business. If doctors are allowed to follow their consciences and or, not provide an effective referral to kill their patients, less people will be euthanized. 

This study received a $25,000 grant. Here is an excerpt of DWDC's letter to SSHRC explaining their participation in this study:

"We aim to establish foundational information about effects of “conscientious objection” that can serve as a baseline for other projects and future research. Our goal is to publish at least one peer-reviewed journal article on belief-based care denial of MAiD to motivate further research both in Canada and abroad to determine the extent of harms caused to patients by this practice. Further, we anticipate that the research undertaken as a part of this grant will inform DWDC’s evidence-based advocacy strategy dedicated to limiting or prohibiting belief-based care denial in general. This grant will further the understanding of “conscientious objection” from uOttawa’s and ARCCs current SSHRC-funded study on belief-based care denial of abortion and contraception." (emphasis added)

Imagine any sane person talking about the harms caused by conscientious objection?

Joyce Arthur's ARCC is even offering a $40 Amazon gift certificate for participants in the study. 

DWDC's Helen Long and Kelsey Goforth will devote their time on an in-kind basis of $12,500 to the study. DWDC will pay this in-kind donation; it will not come out of the pocket of Helen Long who earned between $200,000 and $249,000 in 2023.

The euthanasia business, just like the abortion business, is all about the money.

To know more about DWDC's agenda including euthanasia for mental illness, listen to Jonathon Van Maren's recent interview with Canada's expert on euthanasia, Alex Schadenberg.

Pro-abort gets tax dollars to promote reproductive justice

F.L. Jessica Ball from the University of Victoria wrote a paper with Joyce Arthur, and received $28,792 in government funding from SSHRC to do it: Abortion Attitudes and Access: Building A Canadian Framework for Reproductive Justice.

I couldn't find the report published on-line (why isn't it on-line?) but I did receive the report in an ATIP I did to SSHRC.

The pro-aborts want to progress from reproductive rights (mentioned 31 times in the report) to reproductive justice (mentioned 73 times in the report). Must be important.

A couple of key fabrications in the report.

• The author states three times in her tax-payer funded report, that there is a Charter right to abortion. There is no Charter right to abortion in Canada.
• The author states that Pierre Poilievre has been rated as pro-life by Arthur's ARCC. Pierre Poilievre has publicly stated he is pro-choice. Nope. Not pro-life.
• The author references a study by Laroche and Foster on pregnancy care centres in Ontario and their 'deceptive tactics'. This study was done in 2015 but the public can't see it unless they want to pay for it. In any case, since then there have been volumes written debunking this infamous pro-abortion myth.
• The author states "They [ARCC] is a charitable organization". No it isn't.
• This is interesting. According to the report: "The University of British Columbia’s Contraception and Abortion Research Team (CART) was awarded $3.8 million from the Government of Canada to develop resources for underserved populations seeking abortion and to establish a national training platform for healthcare professionals, focusing on destigmatized and contextually appropriate abortion care (University of British Columbia, 2023)." But the grants and contributions database does not report this funding. Why not?
• The author uses the phrase 'pregnant person' 15 times. Everyone knows that only women get pregnant.

I wonder if a pro-life researcher could receive $28,792 to write the report Why do the pro-aborts keep getting millions of dollars and we get zero dollars?

Joyce Arthur: lobbying, grants ($78,792) and brothels

It's common knowledge that Joyce Arthur advises the government on all things pro-abortion revealed through numerous ATIPs that I've done. (i.e. her lobbying to remove funding for summer jobs program for pro-life groups, her relentless attacks on Pregnancy Care Centres, which began with her $27,400 government grant to write a witch hunt of a report against pregnancy care centres, to name just two examples)

Here are a few other examples of her lobby efforts to government:

1) From this government document Family-centred maternity and newborn care: National guidelines, under a chapter on Loss and Grief, they actually refer to Arthur's Why women have abortions. The document is supposed to be about maternity and newborn care, and all of a sudden we're talking about why women have abortions. Why is the government referring to a pro-abortion document from Arthur when the government document is supposedly about family centred maternity and newborn care? 

2) Joyce Arthur's 2021 election spending of $9,984.00. Most of the money went to salaries for her and her pro-abortion friends. More pro-abortion lobbying during an election.

3) Next we have Joyce Arthur advocating for four brothels at the 2010 Olympics. I am not kidding. Thankfully saner heads prevailed when the Conservative government said that it was

"not in the business of legalizing brothels" 

and would not approve the initiative.

4) Joyce Arthur the lobbyist: From here you can see that she received funding of $11,000 in 2023 from SSHRC. 

When I did an ATIP on this to Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), I was told that

"Joyce Arthur did not receive funds from SSHRC. Joyce Arthur was listed as a collaborator on a Partnership Engage Grant (PEG) and a Knowledge Synthesis Grant (KSG)". 

But I was unable to find which grant she was collaborating on for this $11,000 amount. I'm waiting for a clarification from the ATIP office.

I did find three other SSHRC grants where Arthur was a collaborator or a partner. Notice that the first one is with Dying with Dignity the pro-death lobbying group.

1) Exploring the impact of belief-based denial of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) on those seeking services: A multi-methods qualitative study in Canada (emphasis added).

2) Exploring the impact of belief-based denial of contraceptive or abortion care on those seeking services: A multi-methods qualitative study in Canada (emphasis added)

The pro-deathers are getting government grant money to target belief based (read Christian) non-acceptance of killing children in the womb and old sick people. I can tell you why Christians don't believe in killing people in one short sentence. You don't need $50,000 to figure it out. Just ask us: Killing people is wrong, evil, unethical and immoral.

3) Abortion Attitudes and Access: Building A Canadian Framework for Reproductive Justice 

What kind of stupidity is this? We have so much freaking 'reproductive justice' in this country with the pro-aborts already getting gazillions of dollars in government funding, plus fully funded free on-demand abortions, that now they just have to come up with new and ridiculous made-up reasons to get more tax-payer money to fund their pro-death ideology. Welcome to Canada.

CTV misleads Canadians on late-term born alive abortions

 "A popular, misleading claim about late-term abortions has made its way to the province."

This comes from the very first line of a CTV article about late-term abortions, live birth abortions in Alberta.
https://calgary.ctvnews.ca/misleading-late-term-abortion-claim-circulated-alberta-government-won-t-comment-1.6986876

"That's just inflammatory propaganda that has no basis in fact," Joyce Arthur

These children are born alive after a failed abortion. Then they die. Not propaganda.

The only misleading item here is this CTV story. There's nothing misleading about these born alive abortions. They happen. Every year. In Canada. In every province. Not just Alberta.

I have done extensive research on these abortions and they are performed in all provinces. My research goes back to 2012. But the media refuses to believe it apparently.
http://run-with-life.blogspot.com/search?q=Born+alive&max-results=20&by-date=true

The stats come from the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI). CIHI took over the publishing of abortion stats from Statistics Canada years ago when they didn't want their name associated with underreported abortion numbers that they were forced to publish. 

These abortions happen. Former MP Maurice Vellacott contacted the RCMP years ago about them and the RCMP refused to investigate.

It's time to stop these horrific abortions. Wake up Canada.
