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.) 

Mark Carney's government continues its discriminatory practice against pro-life students

Dear Mauricette Howlett,

You state that:

job activities respect reproductive rights, including the right to abortion, as a condition for receiving federal funding...All employers under the CSJ program are required to provide a safe and inclusive work environment that respects individual human rights as outlined in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. When applying for funding through the CSJ program, organizations must attest that any funding under the CSJ program will not be used to undermine or restrict the exercise of rights legally protected in Canada.

As we know, and have known for many years, there is no Charter right to abortion -- abortion is not legally protected in Canada. 

This means that the young people who are prevented from accessing the summer jobs programs are being discriminated against because of their religious beliefs since it is faith based organizations and persons who are the ones not eligible for the grants because of their opposition to abortion. Even if there was a charter right to abortion, and there isn't, preventing someone from receiving the funding based on their deeply held religious beliefs would still be discrimination.

Canada supposedly prides itself in its freedom of conscience, religion, thought, belief, opinion, speech, assembly and association. But only sometimes. And only when the government says so. This is wrong.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Patricia Maloney

Dear Patricia Maloney:

 

On behalf of the Honourable Patty Hajdu, Minister of Jobs and Families and Minister responsible for the Federal Economic Development Agency for Northern Ontario, I am responding to your email, which the Office of the Prime Minister, the Right Honourable Mark Carney, sent to her on April 22, 2026, as well as your follow-up email to Minister Hajdu of May 10, 2026. You wrote about the launch of Canada Summer Jobs (CSJ) 2026 and the availability of 100,000 positions for young people.

 

In your emails, you specifically raised concerns about the 2018 policy which requires CSJ program applicants to attest that their core mandate and the job activities respect reproductive rights, including the right to abortion, as a condition for receiving federal funding. You indicated that this requirement could result in the exclusion of organizations with pro‑life beliefs and asked whether this policy would be discontinued under the current government. I appreciate your taking the time to write and convey your perspective on this matter.

 

The objective of CSJ is to create quality jobs for youth across Canada by providing them with valuable work experiences during the summer employment period so that they gain and develop skills and competencies.

 

All employers under the CSJ program are required to provide a safe and inclusive work environment that respects individual human rights as outlined in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. When applying for funding through the CSJ program, organizations must attest that any funding under the CSJ program will not be used to undermine or restrict the exercise of rights legally protected in Canada.

 

In addition, all CSJ applications are assessed against 15 eligibility criteria outlined in the CSJ Applicant Guide. The CSJ Articles of Agreement outline the obligations of applicants to ensure that all funded job opportunities take place in a safe, inclusive and healthy work environment free from harassment and discrimination.

 

Employers who are approved for CSJ funding sign agreements confirming that they have understood and will comply with the rules of the program. The Department conducts a range of monitoring activities to ensure that funding is used according to the terms of the program outlined in the agreement with each employer. The provision of false and misleading information or failure to comply with the Articles of Agreement may result in revocation of funding.

 

Each year, the Department makes modifications to improve CSJ based on the feedback received from participants and stakeholders and will continue to implement as many innovative changes as possible to improve program delivery and adapt it to address the evolving needs of youth and employers across the country.

 

I hope that this information is helpful in addressing your concerns.

 

Yours sincerely,

Subject: Taxpayer funded summer job grants

Dear Mark Carney,

Today you announced the summer jobs program grants:
https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/news/2026/04/canada-summer-jobs-2026-youth-hiring-period-now-open-with-up-to-100000-jobs-available.html?utm_campaign=esdc-edsc-censv2-24-25&utm_medium=email&utm_source=news-from-the-government-of-canada&utm_content=news-product-260420-en-2pm
There are 100,000 jobs available.
Will your Liberal government now put an end to Justin Trudeau's discriminatory practice of excluding pro-life people from receiving these grants?
As a self-proclaimed practicing Catholic one would think that you would be happy to not exclude those who hold Christian beliefs that the child in the womb is as valuable as any other Canadian human being and that organizations who espouse pro-life beliefs are as worthy of taxpayer funded summer job opportunities as any other Canadian.
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Patricia Maloney

The relationship between Health Canada and Dying with Dignity Canada

"It doesn’t cover every poll done by various other groups/organizations based on what I’ve seen over the years so not sure if it will seem biased?"

My latest ATIP from Health Canada regarding Dying with Dignity.

There is a Teams Meeting from Health Canada and the discussion was going to be on MAID (Page 18). On the agenda:

• "Can/should we point to other support/service pathways (e.g. palliative care, disability or mental health supports, etc.)" (One would hope that, of course palliative care would be discussed. The word "palliative" appears only once in the document. Was it discussed? Unknown.)
• "Seek feedback from a group called the MAID Network (reps incl. DWDC, Bridge C-14, MAID Family Network, CAMAP and ppi with first hand knowledge working with the public)" (There is no mention of getting feedback from anyone opposed to MAID. The MAID Network all support MAID.)

Page 28. Helen Long writes another letter to the Health Minister congratulating her appointment as Minister of Health. I've lost count as to how many letters she has written to Ministers. 

Page 11. Memo regarding the polling done. 

"The focus is mainly on Ipsos Reid polls commissioned by DWDC but it does cover some other polling especially where there may be contradictory views on certain issues. It doesn’t cover every poll done by various other groups/organizations based on what I’ve seen over the years so not sure if it will seem biased? (emphasis added)" (Even the bureaucrats wonder if the analysis of the polls is biased. And the analysis does cover all DWDC's polls.)

Page 51-62 Polls about MAID. Media monitoring and analysis: Out of the 12 page report, there is a total of about one and a half pages devoted to polls not as favourable to MAID as the rest of the polls (***see links below). All the rest of the polls are from DWDC.

Page 64: Email from Helen Long:

"As you know, Dying With Dignity Canada has a long history of interest in assisted dying, including advance requests. We hear continuously from people across Canada, in all walks of life, who have a lived experience related to the desire for an advance request, or who have a personal or professional interest in the issue. With the goal of helping to ensure that lived experience as well as professional expertise related to advance request is included in the process, I am providing you with a list of individuals and clinicians who are interested in being part of the consultation process. Each of them has indicated their agreement to have their name shared with Health Canada and its contractor(s) for the purposes of consulting on advance requests. Some of these Individuals are well known and may already be on your list but am sharing just in case:"

Long then includes a (redacted) list of 23 persons and 12 clinicians. I think we can assume that all of these names are supportive of MAID. Did Health Canada reach out to them? Unknown. Did Health Canada reach out to anyone who is not supportive of MAID? Unknown.

ATIP takes 502 days and yields 9 pages of information

This ATIP to Health Canada took 502 days to respond to, yielded exactly 9 pages of so-called information, from a total document count of 285 pages. 

It is hard to comprehend how it can take so long to respond to an ATIP, when you release virtually no information.

Page 2-247 and 256-285 were all redacted (i.e. all subject to solicitor-client privilege)

Page 1 Someone contacts Health Canada to ask about getting in touch with Dying with Dignity. Which is pretty funny. As I have shown many times before, DWDC has a very cozy relationship with Health Canada. The fact that someone would actually contact Health Canada to ask for an interview with DWDC tells me that the lines are definitely blurred between these two entities.

Hi  XXXXXXXXX,

Dying with Dignity is a charitable organization and is not affiliated with Health Canada. I’m afraid we wouldn’t be able to assist.

Good Morning! I hope this email finds you well.

I'm XXXXXXXXX. I'm reaching out to see if we can book an interview with XXXXXXXXX. We are interested in talking about XXXXXXXXX. The interview will be live with XXXXXXXXX for 8-10 minutes. The time slot we are hoping to fill is 10:30am MDT (9:30am PDT). Let me know if that works for her schedule. Thanks and talk soon!

248-255 - yields some complaints from DWDC about Health Canada's survey on advance directives not being accessible outside of Canada. 

And this. Helen Long offers to give names of people to participate in the consultations:

I understand from the Minister's announcement that there will be a variety of ways to engage in the advance request consultations, including roundtables. As always, it is important to get the perspectives of those with lived experience. To that end, I wondered if you were looking for individuals who do have lived experience and might be able to contribute to this discussion? Let me know and if there is an opportunity, I would be happy to provide a list of individuals who could participate.

Does Health Canada take her up on this offer? There is no indication that they do. But if they did, that would certainly skew the results of the consultations.

Dying with Dignity raises $148,580 in one month

From Helen Long of Dying with Dignity Canada in an email. It makes me want to throw up.

Together, we raised $148,580 last month from 991 of the most compassionate people, and fully maximized the matching gift!

Compassionate? There's nothing compassionate about killing people who need love, support and probably palliative care, Helen Long. That people donate money to your poisoning lobby, who lobbies government non-stop -- there just are no words.
