Two sides of the MAID issue - CCCB - DWDC: 140th and 141st time lobbying government

On the one hand, we have Fr. Francis at Mass today speaking out against MAID. (I will paraphrase): St. Thomas More who is the patron saint of statesmen, politicians, lawyers, and civil servants -- we must pray against MAID / euthanasia. We belong to one fold and have to be proactive and consider what's happening in the government concerning MAID. There is a growing number of deaths and mercy killings. We must be aware of and pray for protection from birth until natural death.

Fr. Francis also included the Statement from the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) in his Sunday bulletin on MAID (I hope all parishes did the same): STATEMENT BY THE STANDING COMMITTEE FOR FAMILY AND LIFE TO THE CATHOLIC FAITHFUL IN CANADA AND ALL PEOPLE OF GOOD WILL VOICING CONCERN AND CALLING FOR PRAYERS ON THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF EUTHANASIA AND ASSISTED SUICIDE (“MAID”)

As disciples of Christ, we affirm that every human life is a gift, holds profound dignity and value, and is part of a human community (cf. Mt 25:31-46). In contrast, euthanasia and assisted suicide, whatever their motives or means, consist in intentionally causing or hastening the death of a person who is sick, suffering, disabled, or dying in order to eliminate suffering. Such acts can never be morally acceptable, for they are gravely contrary to the dignity of the human person and to the respect due to God, the Creator and Lord of life.4F 5 True compassion does not answer suffering with death, but accompanies those who suffer with hope, presence, palliative care, and relief of pain. Together with healthcare professionals, patients, and families, our faith teaches that we must strive for proportionate treatment options that neither unduly prolong nor intentionally hasten death, but instead offer life-affirming and compassionate care.

On the other hand, we have Dying with Dignity Canada's death cult lobbying government, yet again, to increase access to MAID. This is their 140th and 141st time lobbying government.

Thank God for clergy who speak out against the evil of MAID.

Instead of paying off the debt Canada invests in Pride Season

Recall how the Carney Liberals are continuing their discrimination policy against pro-life students who are not eligible to receive the Canada Summer Jobs Program. These grants are around $5,000 each. A drop in the bucket of government largesse, yet still will not ever go to a pro-life student.

Fast forward to Pride Season. Yes Virginia, Canada has a Pride Season--the only country in the world to not just celebrate Pride, but to have a whole season dedicated to it. And it's not just Pride Season, it's turning on the taps of millions and millions of dollars in new spending towards all things Pride, never mind old spending. 

Never mind that Canada's debt is now almost 3 trillion dollars (Looks like this ($3,000,000,000,000) and a current deficit of $66.9 billion.

Statement by Minister Rechie Valdez to Mark Canada’s Pride Season 2026

Pride Season is a celebration of the strength, diversity, and resilience of Canada’s 2SLGBTQI+ communities. Pride events begin this week and continue through September, offering 2SLGBTQI+ people and their allies opportunities to connect in safer spaces and celebrate the strengths of our communities.

Federal government strengthens support to keep 2SLGBTQI+ communities safe this Pride Season

Through ongoing investments in the 2SLGBTQI+ sector, including $54.6 million over five years, with $10.9 million ongoing, the federal government is supporting organizations to strengthen communities and expand participation in Canada’s economy and society. This includes $7.5 million over five years, with $1.5 million ongoing, to help Pride festivals address rising security and insurance costs and continue providing safe and welcoming spaces for participants, volunteers, families, and visitors.

Action Canada for Sexual Health and Rights gets millions more in government funding

This totals $3,349,034 (This is $124,939 less than what CRA reports, see below). But it does show which departments are forking out your money to them.

Then there's the grants database, which is clearly not up-to-date. The first entry is for grants identified in 2024. Nothing shows for 2025.

From CRA for Fiscal period: July 01, 2024 to June 30, 2025: Government funding $3,473,973. 

CRA is my go to for the most accurate financial information for charities. 

Maybe one day we will see a pro-life charity get $3,473,973 in government funding. That. Would be. A miracle.

Dying With Dignity Canada lobbies government 139 times and counting / 2025 financial statements

A couple of notes on Dying with Dignity's recently published 2025 financial statements.

DWDC has long-term investments of $8,160,832 (2025), up from $7,370,174 (2024). Imagine a charity so rich that they can afford to keep more than $8 million in long-term investments--money that clearly isn't needed to run the business. They also received $646,153 in investment income alone. Can you imagine a pro-life charity being this rich? Neither can I.

My guess is that they will use this great big juicy horde of cash to pay for their Charter challenges (British Columbia court battle and the Mental Illness Exclusion Challenge in Ontario), and when they act as intervenors in other court cases. Lots of cash to do this. 

Donations are up: $ 2,976,918 (2025), from $ 2,759,606 (2024).

(I still puzzle why anyone would donate to this pro-death group who advocate, lobby and promote killing people. Why does Dying with Dignity even exist? Is it because of power? Or money? Or are they just plain old run of the mill lunatic psychopaths?)

Advertising and promotions $1,013,241 (2025), up from $803,555 (2024). That's over one third of their donations spent on advertising and promoting and lobbying the government for the killing industry.

The Euthanasia Prevention Coalition has applied to be intervenor in the Brosseau case launched by Dying with Dignity. 

The Brosseau case is asking an Ontario court to legislate from the bench by approving medical homicide for Claire Brosseau who is living with mental illness alone. Court interventions are very expensive. We need your support.

If you can, please give a donation to help EPC.  

Euthanasia: then and now

Hitler's euthanasia Program and Aktion T4:

(All emphasis added)

"The goal of the Nazi Euthanasia Program was to kill people with mental and physical disabilities. In the Nazi view, this would cleanse the “Aryan” race of people considered genetically defective and a financial burden to society. In the Nazi context, however, "euthanasia" was a euphemistic or indirect term for a clandestine murder program and Aktion T4."

(MAID: Must have a serious and incurable illness, disease, or disability. Under Canadian law, if your only medical condition is a mental illness, you are not eligible to receive MAID until March 17, 2027. However, if you have a mental illness alongside other qualifying physical conditions, you may still be assessed for eligibility.)

The UN on MAID: "Rosemary Kayess, Committee Expert and Leader of the Taskforce for Canada, said it was concerning that persons with disabilities sought access to medical assistance in dying due to unmet needs, which was a systemic failure of the State party. The disproportionate impact of these failures, which included poverty, and a lack of access to employment and services, underpinned the so-called choice for seeking medical assistance in dying as an alternative. How was this not State-sanctioned euthanasia? If choice was the trigger, why was there not also a focus on addressing the support that person needed, which would take them away from social isolation where they perceived dying as the only option they had?"

Hitler's euthanasia Program: "In the autumn of 1939, Adolf Hitler signed a secret authorization in order to protect participating physicians, medical staff, and administrators from prosecution."

(MAID: Doctors in Canada are protected from being prosecuted for providing Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) through specific exemptions in the federal Criminal Code.

Hitler's euthanasia Program: "Even though physicians and institutional administrators falsified official records in every case to indicate that the victims died of natural causes, the "euthanasia" program quickly became an open secret. There was widespread public knowledge of the measure."

(MAID: the cause of death is reported as the underlying illness, disease, or disability that necessitated the procedure.)
