Time to end discrimination against Christian pro-life students

Dear Minister Michel,

I see that the Canada Summer Jobs program is open for applicants.

The key to building Canada’s future workforce is ensuring young people have opportunities to gain skills, experience and confidence in the labour market. That’s why the Government of Canada is working with employers, particularly in high-demand sectors, to create meaningful employment opportunities for young people through Canada Summer Jobs (CSJ) 2027.

Can you please tell me if you will finally allow Christian pro-life students to apply for this grant? I suggest that the discrimination against these young people has gone on long enough. Wouldn't you agree?

I look forward to hearing back from you soon.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Patricia Maloney

A Catholic's response to flying pride flags at our Catholic schools

From a conversation that a citizen had with a trustee running for Catholic school trustee. The trustee asked Barbara for her thoughts after she contacted him on the pride flag flying at our Catholic Schools. Here is her response:

As for my thoughts, I believe that the only flag that should be flown is the Canadian flag (the Ontario and Ottawa flags would be fine as well). None of those raise any contentious, social or political issues that people have such strong opinions about (for and against) and I think everyone will agree that it is good to be proud of our country, our province and our city. That way, all students and staff would feel included. The problem with the Pride flag is that it celebrates behaviours that are against the Catholic faith, also against the Islamic faith as I understand it. Especially concerning to me and many people (not just religious people but also some atheists and women's rights activists) is the promotion of transgenderism, which has been shown to be so harmful for so many young people. 

As a practicing Catholic, I adhere to the Christian teaching that we are all created in God's image. Therefore, we all have inherent dignity, no matter whether we identify as gay, straight, trans, black, white, or whatever. No one should be discriminated against, and to me, we treat everyone respectfully when we don't single out one particular aspect (e.g. gender/sexuality) and make it the basis of a flag. A Pride flag inherently excludes anyone who adheres to Catholic/Christian teachings on sexuality and I think Islamic teaching as well. We have been called bigots, anti-gay, anti-woman, etc. I'm an adult, and I find it difficult to face this discrimination... I can only imagine how a Catholic /Christian (or Muslim) child must feel when they see that their school is celebrating behaviours that go against their strongly held religious convictions. Children should not be made to feel ashamed of their religious beliefs, and that is what ends up happening when "Pride" is celebrated.

As we are discussing Catholic schools here, if any other flag were to be flown, it would make sense to fly one that sends the message that we are all children of God (no matter our sex, gender, race, ethnicity, etc.) That is where our identity comes from. That is where our dignity lies. As far as I know, all major religions have some form of the "golden rule" about doing unto others as we would like to have others do unto us. Or as we heard in today's Gospel reading, to love God with all our heart, soul and mind, and to love our neighbour as ourselves. Were we to adhere to this simple teaching, our families, communities, and the world, would no doubt be better off.

Thank you for listening.

Wishing you the very best, 
Barbara M

Trustee Cindy Simpson supports pride ideology in Catholic schools

My correspondence with Ottawa Catholic school board trustee Cindy Simpson. Every year the Ottawa Catholic School Board flies the pride flag.

Dear Cindy,

It is the school's job to make students feel safe and welcome, but flying the pride flag is simply virtue signaling and does nothing to make anyone safe and welcome, especially for people who do not buy into the ideology symbolized by this flag. For them, they can and do feel negatively triggered by this symbol.

Since we are Catholics, flying a Sacred Heart of Jesus, or a pro-life flag would be far more appropriate. 

It is a shame that our Catholic schools have bent a knee to this divisive ideology. It is very sad indeed.

Finance committee parrots pro-abortion advocates' disinformation

Dear members of the Finance Committee,

I have a question for all of you regarding Recommendation 65 of your RECOMMENDATIONS OF THESTANDING COMMITTEE ON FINANCE FOR THE 2026 BUDGET:

"... Budget 2026 should also introduce amendments to the Income Tax Act to require greater transparency from anti-abortion pregnancy centres in order to mitigate harm to clients and prevent the misuse of charitable status."

I understand from the extensive research I have done on Pregnancy Care Centres, including numerous Access to Information requests I submitted, that the government of Canada bases these allegations of "harm to clients" and "the misuse of charitable status" on the say-so of the Abortion Rights coalition of Canada. (Note that none of these ATIPs I received revealed any evidence of these allegations outside of ARCC's allegations). 

In other words, it appears that the government of Canada is biased and is basing important decisions that affect these charities on a group whose mission is, to repeatedly attack and libel these charities. ARCC has attacked these centres since at least since 2009 where Joyce Arthur (executive director of both groups) received $27,400 in government funding to kick off her initial blitzkrieg on these centres (using Arthur's previous organization the Pro-choice-Action Network). I, and others, have repeatedly rebutted these false claims (see links below). 

Have any of you actually investigated and researched these centres yourself to corroborate that these centres harm clients and misuse their charitable status?

Because if you have not, and are taking ARCC's word for these allegations, with all due respect, you are agreeing to something very serious and not based on the truth.

I have a second question for you. I noticed that absent from your recommendations are recommendations from three Christian charities on the same subject. Why are their recommendations not included when you do include the scurrilous recommendations from ARCC? This looks like anti-Christian discrimination.

As ARPA stated in their submission to the committee:

"Previous calls to revoke the charitable tax status of pregnancy care centres ignore the benefits that these centres provide to women. At root, calls to revoke their charitable status are ideologically motivated attempts to marginalize a pro-life view with which they disagree." (emphasis added)

Here are the two extensively researched reports refuting the two "studies" Abortion Rights Coalition wrote attacking Pregnancy Care Centres:

(From Pregnancy Care Canada. Note that this rebuttal is based on the Pro-Choice Action Network's report which is the previous name for the Abortion Rights Coalition and headed by the same person) :
Crisis Pregnancy Centres In British Columbia A Respectful Rebuttal to a Disrespectful Report
My rebuttal to a subsequent ARCC report on these centres.
ABORTION RIGHTS COALITION OF CANADA DECEITFUL ON CRISIS PREGNANCY CENTRES

Here are the three recommendations from the three Christian charities that you chose not to include in your recommendations, in favour of ARCC's ideologically motivated attempt to marginalize a pro-life view with which they disagree.

A recent example of Joyce Arthur's ongoing witch hunt against these clinics where she recycles her untruths about these centres. Just have a look at the title of her article:

Unregulated pregnancy centres cause lasting harms—we need transparency UPCs cause harm through deception, disinformation, and other traumatizing strategies meant to turn people away from abortion

I look forward to hearing back from the committee soon with answers to my questions.

Ottawa spends thousands to "wrap" buses in Pride colours

Ottawa spent $79,189.27 over four years to wrap its buses in Pride colours. In 2023 and 2024, they wrapped one bus a year. Then in 2025 and 2026 they wrapped two buses each year. Does this mean that next year they will wrap four buses? Maybe a whole fleet of buses?

This for a bus system that ended 2025 with a deficit of $52 million.

Mona Fortier -- vote for Bill C-218

I just emailed and called my MP Mona Fortier's office on the hill to ask her to vote for Bill-C-218, a bill to stop Medical homicide (MAID) this week. 

Her voice mail announcement was only in French. Hmmm...I thought that the government of Canada was officially bilingual? And she's an MP. Not a good example of official bilingualism.

Official Languages Act: Passed in 1969 under Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, this federal law requires federal departments, agencies, and Crown corporations to offer services in both English and French.

40 Days for Life off to a good start

This morning Jackie, Maureen and I witnessed and prayed at the abortion site at 7:00 AM. We joined parishioners from Assumption Parish. Joan was happy for us to join her parish as that meant there were seven of us for the opening vigil time on Bank and Sparks Street. Assumption parishioners will be there the whole day praying and witnessing. God Bless them all.

It's kind of ironic. Because of the nonsensical Safe Access to Abortion Services Act, we have to stand on the corner of Bank and Sparks behind their ridiculous sign (see picture below). But the good news is that our witnessing covers four corners of the street and lots and lots of people can see us. We are probably more visible to more people than when we used to witness in front of 65 Bank St. Good comes out of not good. God is in control.

From Maureen from today

Woe to you Canadian government

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within are full of dead people's bones and all uncleanness. So you also outwardly appear righteous to others, but within you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness." Matthew 23:27–28 (ESV): 

On the one hand, the Canadian government marked World Suicide Prevention Day on September 10th. They announced $120.2 million for continued operations of the 988 Suicide Crisis Helpline:

On World Suicide Prevention Day, we renew our commitment to preventing suicide, to supporting people who may be struggling, and to creating spaces for open, compassionate conversations that can help save lives.

Every person deserves to know that they matter, that they are valued, and that support is available. The 9-8-8: Suicide Crisis Helpline provides a safe, bilingual, trauma-informed and culturally sensitive space for anyone seeking support for themselves or for someone they know. Since launching in November 2023, trained 9-8-8 responders have answered more than one million calls and text messages.

Earlier this year, I announced renewed support of up to $120.2 million over the next two years for the continued operations of 9-8-8. This investment reflects our ongoing commitment to ensure that people across Canada have access to suicide prevention support when they need it the most.

On the other hand, the Canadian government has the most permissive euthanasia (MAID) regime in the entire world.

We don't want you to kill yourself -- but we do want a doctor to kill you.

Mark Carney needs to fix removing God from prayer

From: Patricia Maloney

Date: Thu, Aug 27, 2026 at 6:27 PM
Subject: Decision to remove God and prayer
To: <mark.carney@parl.gc.ca>, Prime Minister/Premier ministre <pm@pm.gc.ca>
Cc: <bill.blair@parl.gc.ca>, <ginette.petitpastaylor@parl.gc.ca>, Poilievre, Pierre - M.P. <pierre.poilievre@parl.gc.ca>, <Stefanie.Beck@forces.gc.ca>, Patricia Maloney <maloneyp64@gmail.com>, <mlo-blm@forces.gc.ca>, <information@forces.gc.ca>

Dear Mark Carney,

Please find attached, a statement by Bishop Scott McCaig, C.C. Military Ordinary of Canada regarding the new policy that states:

“In military settings, spiritual reflections are inclusive public addresses to a group of individuals that nurture resilience by fostering meaning, purpose, and spiritual well-being,” Furthermore, “Spiritual reflections do not use religious specific language, including references to God, etc.” 

This is an unconscionable decision. You are a practicing Catholic I understand. This has happened under your watch. You need to fix it. And please do not pass my concerns off to one of your ministers like you did the last time I wrote to you. The buck stops with you. You have the power to correct this situation and you must do so. You serve the people of Canada.

To arbitrarily change the role of the Military Ordinariate of Canada to remove God and prayer--a role that has existed as an official canonical jurisdiction for 75 years, tracing its roots back to a military vicariate established in 1951; then in1939: Catholic military bishops first began serving the Canadian Army during the Second World War; then in February 17, 1951, formally erected as the Military Vicariate of Canada by Pope Pius XII July 21; in 1986: Elevated and promoted to the status of a full Military Ordinariate by the Vatican--is simply a terrible decision.

As a Catholic and a Canadian, I am ashamed that this is happening. It is an insult to God whose power far exceeds your own.

I hope you decide to do the right thing and reverse this decision as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Patricia Maloney

$1,272,679 spent to help you to be an "ally" to 2SLGBTQI+

I did an ATIP to find out just how much of our tax dollars went to the the Unity Campaign courtesy of the Department for Women and Gender Equality (WAGE). 

What is the Unity campaign? I am so glad you asked:

The Unity campaign sets out to create a more inclusive future for everyone, including Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, intersex, and other sexually and gender diverse (2SLGBTQI+) people.

Help advance equality by recognizing stigma, debunking misinformation, and supporting 2SLGBTQI+ communities.

WAGE spent at least $1,272,679.28 on the campaign. I say at least, because of the other internal costs buried in the department's day to day operations, like salaries of employees, other professional services contracts, etc. :

The contracts identified were awarded specifically for activities related to the Unity campaign, including services such as marketing, communications, and video production. The department also made use of existing department-wide communications and professional services contracts that supported a range of departmental priorities and initiatives. Expenditures under these broader contractual vehicles were not tracked or coded exclusively to the Unity campaign, and consequently the department cannot accurately determine the proportion of those contract values that supported the campaign. Accordingly, the contract values disclosed represent only those contracts directly attributable to the Unity campaign and may not reflect all expenditures incurred in support of the initiative.

Salary expenditures are not specifically tracked for this initiative, as employees support multiple departmental programs, projects, priorities and operational activities as part of their regular responsibilities.

The contracts went to:

P2400057 Cossette Communication Inc. for $988,156.83


P2500116 Essencemediacom Canada ULC $96,570.97


P2600035 Essencemediacom Canada ULC $132,796.48


P2600037 M5 Marketing Communications Inc. $51,030


P2700019 Essencemediacom Canada ULC $4,125

 

Here are the videos that were produced with your tax dollars for this campaign. I count six of them.

Dying with Dignity: Advert aimed at dementia patients disguised as learning

Here we have Dying with Dignity presenting their death wares (MAID) to people with Dementia and their families in Nova Scotia on September 20th. Really? If people have dementia, is it really appropriate and or ethical to be talking to them about medical homicide? 

This is beyond disgusting.

People with limited imaginations: abortion and euthanasia

Catholic social teaching on abortion and euthanasia is pretty straightforward. 

Below are excerpts from a short 16 page booklet by Fr. Larry Lynn. 

The Church teaches that there are four pillars of Catholic Social teachings: Dignity of the Human Person, Solidarity, Subsidiarity and the Common Good. The Church's opposition to certain practices that our modern society deems normal or even good, is based on these fundamental pillars of Catholic teaching. The governments say people have a "right" to abortion or that our medical system should promote and, with our tax dollars, use doctors and nurses to kill innocent human life through euthanasia.
Dignity
People with limited imaginations believe that the child growing in the womb of its mother is not really human. They dismiss the dignity of that person in the womb because an embryo or a fetus, or a child, has no power. They believe dignity depends on some attribute or another, like size, viability, ability to communicate or have some other sign of usefulness. The entire euthanasia industry in Canada comes down to the usefulness of a person compared to the cost effectiveness of caring for someone deemed "not useful".
Solidarity
In dignity, all people are equal, no matter what attributes, abilities, assets or skills they may have, or circumstances they may be in, we are all called to respect the dignity.
Subsidiarity
Under the Principle of Subsidiarity, no higher level of organization has the right to take over the responsibilities that are due to the lower level of organization, i.e. the federal government cannot usurp the duties and responsibilities of the provincial government. The public school system has no right to interfere with the parenting of children.
The Common Good
In our world, there are governments, laws, policies and public institutions that promote abortion, euthanasia, contraception, torture, pornography, surrogate parenting, in vitro fertilization, body mutilation, capital punishment, restrictions on freedom of religion, and freedom of assembly and travel. "These things are detrimental to authentic human fulfillment and flourishing" and therefore, do not contribute to the common good but in fact destroy dignity, solidarity and subsidiarity which are necessary for the common good.

You can access the booklet here: Catholic Social Justice Teachings: A Primer Fr. Larry Lynn Priests for Life Canada (PFLC Board Member and Chaplain for Pro-life diocese in Vancouver)

All Catholic parishes and schools would greatly benefit from this booklet.

The euthanasia industry advertises killing people

Kelsi Sheren recently reported how Dying with Dignity is ADVERTISING death on META. Dying with Dignity spends a LOT of money on advertising: $1,013,240 in 2025 in only one year alone. A million dollars. To promote euthanasia. To the sick and vulnerable.

Here is another advertisement from the same pro-death cult -- an ad in Macleans magazine entitled End of Life: Have You Had the Talk? Because you know, you better have that talk. Yes siree. You don't want your old parents to die before you've had the talk. You know the one. Where you say to them:

What about euthanasia? Have you thought about that? Because then we can get our hands on your inheritance a bit early, before you kick off naturally. We won't have to watch you drool into your soup or change your diapers or any of those disgusting things. You'll just drift off into oblivion, maybe drown a bit first, but hey that's a small price to pay for leaving planet earth early, don't you think? Come on Dad you can do it, we will even help you do it. How's next weekend. Does that work for you?

I also came across an article in the Kanata Community Voice newspaper entitled A feeling of being more in control. Notice the words the pro-deathers use. Euthanasia sounds so positive, so comforting, so soothing and lovely. This presentation by the pro-deathers actually reads like an advert (though I'm pretty sure DWDC didn't pay anything to present it). And it was given to a bunch of old people. I emailed the author of this piece, Nevil Hunt, and asked three questions (see below). He never replied. Hunt paints a glowing picture of MAID, with nothing at all about the many horror stories we have heard to date about this horrific medical homicide.

Dear Nevil,

I read this article from your June 25th newsletter.

I have a couple of comments and questions for you.

1) You state that "a natural death must be foreseeable". However this is not the case with track 2 MAID. In this case a person whose natural death is not reasonably foreseeable is also eligible.

2) Your write-up has an example of someone who seemingly had a positive experience with MAID. Did you know that there are numerous people who have had horrific experiences with MAID? See here for just some of these cases.

Can you tell me if any such negative experiences were identified to the audience in this presentation? Hopefully this was discussed with the seniors in the audience, many of whom may not be aware of the problems with MAID.

3) Dr Joel Zivot testified in Senate hearings on MAID. You might be interested to read his story here

He concludes his article with this: 
"Canadians who choose to die by MAiD must be informed of the real possibility that the death they experience may be very different from that which is described by MAiD advocates. It is time to perform autopsies on everyone that dies by MAiD, so we can determine if MAiD protocols produce frothy fluid in the lungs. It is time to cease the use of paralytics in MAiD, so we can be certain we are not covering the potential for a painful death akin to drowning. It is time to accept what the evidence available to date shows: MAiD may very likely provide a torturous death."
Dying with Dignity has attempted to refute Dr Zivot's testimony. Please read the doctor's information and testimony yourself and make up your own mind. DWDC is a very lucrative charity and MAID is their product. They have millions in long term assets ($8,160,832) and bring in millions in donations every year. $2,276,570 in 2025 alone. 

They are not happy when people raise serious issues with the reality of MAID. It is not the wonderful peaceful experience Dying with Dignity would have you believe. At the very least, you owe it to the seniors who attended the presentation, and to your readers, to let them know about the very real and very dark side of MAID.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Patricia Maloney

Government of Canada buys into misinformation about Crisis Pregnancy Centres

According to a recent ATIP I did, the government of Canada says that Crisis Pregnancy Centres:
disseminate abortion myths to pregnant individuals in crisis...Research by XXXXXX (probably Joyce Arthur) and colleagues of the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada (2023) has consistently found that in presenting information, these groups fail to explicitly disclose their religious agenda and anti-abortion sentiments. CPCs spread false medical information...

For the record, I and others have consistently found that ARCC's reports are full of misinformation and disinformation. (see links below for these rebuttals)

My ATIP to Health Canada:

"What evidence does the Public Health Agency have to issue a warning that "Crisis pregnancy centres ... often look like clinics or support centres, but they are designed to discourage people from getting an abortion"? Also please provide me with your evidence that Crisis pregnancy centres "are designed to discourage people from getting an abortion" (emphasis added)
The government of Canada has also posted statements on their official websites based on these untruths.

Crisis pregnancy centres
Crisis pregnancy centres are usually run by anti-abortion organizations. They often look like clinics or support centres, but they are designed to discourage people from getting an abortion. (emphasis added)

From the department of Finance we have this statement:

concerns have been raised that some registered charities that offer reproductive health services to women, including pregnancy options counselling—and that are provided federal supports under the tax system—may be spreading misinformation by presenting themselves as a neutral, full-service pregnancy support service organization, when they are in fact anti-choice organizations that push women away from accessing the reproductive care of their choice. By concealing the true nature of their services, these organizations, known as crisis pregnancy centres, are restricting the rights of vulnerable pregnant women to choose the reproductive care appropriate to them and their circumstances...According to the Abortion Rights Coalition, there are about 157 anti-choice crisis pregnancy centres in Canada, of which 90.5 per cent are operated by registered charities. (emphasis added)

My ATIP identifies ARCC's reports that spread myths about Crisis Pregnancy Centres, and all of these reports are used as the government's "evidence" against CPCs. These myths have been refuted many times. Yet still the lies are spread and our Canadian government buys into them. The ATIP also references studies from the United States, based on the American experience of CPCs, which of course have nothing to do with the Canadian experience, so these references can be and should be ignored.

Did the government of Canada make any effort at all to read the reports that refute the mythical allegations of the pro-abortion idealogues? There is not one word in the ATIP that would confirm that they did.

Below are the links the government of Canada has chosen to ignore about Crisis Pregnancy Centres preferring to take the word of the pro-abortions.

Part 1 - Pro-abortion report - anti-Christian hate speech?

Part 2 - Pro-abortion report - uses US experience of PCCs

The pro-aborts think abortion is healthcare

Update July 23 VICTORY: Billboard Company Removes Abortion Ad After Pro-life Protest by Gianna Amata:

ARCC ran a counter campaign to pressure the company to keep the billboard up. It sent an email blast on July 15, encouraging supporters to reach out to the company to save the billboard. But the company refused to back down. ARCC later admitted that some of the letters supporters sent were hostile, for which it later apologized.

“Sadly, amongst the messages they [the billboard company] received from our supporters were some aggressive ones and even personal attacks on their staff, which caused harm and trauma,” Joyce Arthur, ARCC’s Executive Director, wrote in a July 21 email to supporters.

This doesn't surprise me a bit. 

UPDATE July 13. Brightside has responded to me: 

...we have paused this campaign while we review the matter with our client.

UPDATE July 10. I have it on good authority that the ARCC billboard was put up by the company Brightside Network Inc .

I have good news. And I have bad news.

The pro-abortions at the Abortion Rights Coalition tried last year to find a company to put up a pro-killing of pre-born babies billboard. The good news is that 45% of the companies contacted refused to put up the billboard, and 30% didn’t respond. Smart companies.

The bad news is that one company did agree to put it up (we don't know which company). ARCC's billboard says Abortion is health care. Which of course is a lie because for the 102,705 children who were killed last year before they were born, I am pretty sure those children would disagree that abortion is healthcare. Yea I'm pretty sure about that.

If there is still any doubt that abortion is not healthcare check this out Abortion is Not Healthcare: A Message from the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine

Not only is abortion not health care, it is a medical atrocity and a grave legal injustice. Just as slavery and the Dred Scott decision unjustly denied the constitutional right to liberty for individuals based on race; abortion deprives innocent children their right to life based on age alone and the Roe decision has no rational basis in law.

The Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine represents more than 30,000 healthcare professionals, including CMA members, committed to promoting and upholding Hippocratic medicine’s fundamental principles.

And what about the poor women who regret their abortion and or suffered psychological trauma after an abortion? That sign could be quite the trigger for them.

This ad is currently running in London Ont. I sent a letter to the mayor yesterday to voice my disapproval. You can send your own letter as well to Mayor Josh Morgan at mayor@london.ca.

Every year Canada's abortion rates go up: 2024

Canada's abortion numbers are up. Of course they are. There were 1,152 more abortions in Canada than there were in 2023. 

To make matters even worse, CIHI reported Ontario's abortions at 44,728, yet the Ontario Ministry of Health reported 53,708. So CIHI reported 8,980 less abortions than what Ontario reported.













Ontario abortions up by 1,241 from 2023

Ontario abortion numbers from the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care report 53,708 abortions in 2024. That's 1,241 more than OMHLTC reported in 2023. Every year the numbers go up. Every darn year.


Out of province abortions. Once again most of them are from Quebec.

Sneaking MAID grants into Open Government database

I learned that taxpayers paid $289,226 to MAID advocates to create a podcast on MAID called Disrupting Death. I listened to five episodes. It is a pro-euthanasia podcast, as one would expect. (Maybe other episodes will be more neutral and or against MAID but somehow I doubt it.) It reminds me of the pro-aborts who love to gush over, and celebrate, abortion. The podcast was acknowledged on the university website:

Dr. Kathy M. Kortes-Miller, School of Social Work, Disrupting Death; An examination of Canadian Experiences with Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), $289,226.

Because this is taxpayer money, I checked the government's grants and contributions database to find the grant. Which I did here. But surprise, surprise. The word MAID never appears in the description (I had to use the researcher's name to find the grant). Neither does "medical assistance in dying". In fact if you use either of those terms, or "disrupting death", to search the database, the grant does not show up. Yet clearly the money went to fund this pro-MAID podcast.

I have two questions:

1) What other grants that promote and celebrate MAID are likewise hidden in the Open Government database?

2) What are the chances that the government would also fund an anti-MAID podcast?

$5,235,696 to create a curriculum to kill people

When MAID was legalized in Canada, a curriculum was needed to teach doctors how to euthanize people.

Seven modules were developed: (1) foundations of MAiD in Canada, (2) clinical conversations that includes MAiD, (3) how to do an MAiD assessment, (4) capacity and vulnerability, (5) providing MAiD, (6) navigating complex cases with confidence, and (7) MAiD and mental disorders. An eighth topic on clinician resilience and reflection was woven into each of the 7 modules.

The curriculum was developed by the Canadian Association of MAID Assessors and Providers (CAMAP). With grants from the government. Or rather, from yours and my tax dollars. 

I requested and received two documents from a previously requested ATIP regarding CAMAP and this curriculum.

Some excerpts below from these documents. 

Here we have the invite from CAMAP sent to MAID practitioners for a workshop. Taxpayers actually paid for the airfare and hotel costs for this "workshop".

We will cover the costs of airfare (economy flight) and hotel arrangements for the duration of the workshop...(all emphasis added)

"Conducting research to inform practice and policy is essential to high-quality MAiD care in Canada." (Can killing people be classified as "high-quality care"?)

Here we have an email to MAID practitioners looking for feedback on their MAID tool. And if you give feedback, we give you $500. Once again, taxpayers pay $500 to have doctors provide feedback on the MAID "guidance tool".

Request for Feedback on MAiD Guidance Tool and Overview Document
To:
Hello,
I hope this email finds you well. I am reaching out to request your valuable input on two documents developed by the Canadian Association of MAiD Assessors and Providers (CAMAP) to support front¬line staff in handling inquiries related to medical assistance in dying (MAiD) in Canada: the Guidance Tool and the Overview of the Guidance Tool. Your perspective as a national stakeholder is critical to ensuring these resources meet the diverse needs of organizations and individuals across the country. As a token of our appreciation for your time and expertise, we are pleased to offer a $500 honorarium to stakeholders who provide feedback by the deadline of March 24th. There is a section of the Form for you to include your organization's name and mailing address so we can process the honorarium.
Under Frequently Asked Questions we have the MAID people tie themselves up into knots trying to convince people that MAID is not euthanasia or suicide.
Question: Is MAiD the same as euthanasia or suicide?

Suggested Response:
MAiD is a legal, medical procedure conducted under strict regulatory standards. MAiD requires explicit criteria and safeguards that must be met and is performed by experienced health practitioners within the framework of Canadian law. The term ‘euthanasia’ is a much more general term, which does not encompass the strict regulations and safeguards that exist for the provision of MAiD in Canada. ‘Suicide’ in this context is viewed as an sudden, impulsive and often violent act, whereas MAiD occurs in a controlled setting as a result of a series of conversations and discussions that illustrate a well-reasoned wish to die.

Below I itemize some comments where the words used are Woo Hoo'd, excited, thrilled, amazed, incredible, and how far we've come, and the all important exclamation mark--all of this chatter is when bureaucrats and or MAID proponents are talking about killing people by euthanasia:

Thanks to the support from Health Canada, we're making this a reality!
