Only the pro-deathers get to meet with ministers, why is that?

As we already know, Dying with Dignity lobbies the government pretty much non-stop. They also repeatedly meet with Ministers of government. DWDC has met with the ministers of at least three different government departments (Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), Justice and Health), sometimes multiple times with the department in question.

So I wondered. Have any of the main groups opposed to the "poisoning lobby" (thanks to Alec Primc from the Voice for the Children and Family Party of Slovenia for this apt description of euthanasia) also meet with any ministers? I checked out the Lobbyist database to see who was lobbying government against poisoning Canadians. There were five organizations. So I asked the Department of Justice:

Please provide the names of the people from the listed organizations below who have met with the Minister of Justice (and or his or her representative) regarding MAID, and the dates and details of those meetings, including who was present at these meetings. Dates from June 2016 to February 27, 2026: Association for Reformed Political Action (ARPA) Canada. EVANGELICAL FELLOWSHIP OF CANADA. Christian Reformed churches in Canada (CRCNA Canada Corporation). Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops. Christian Medical and Dental Society of Canada, and any other religious organization.

The response I received:

I regret to inform you that a search of the records under the control of the Department of Justice Canada has revealed none relating to the subject of your request. 

I submitted the same ATIP to Health Canada. Although there was one meeting identified with ARPA, it was not with the Minister of Health.

So the only voices the ministers of Justice and Health listen to when it comes to killing its citizens by poisoning them, are the people who advocate for, and not those opposed to, killing people by lethal injection. That sounds awfully biased to me.

  1. Thanks, Pat

    Murder by Lethal Injection is how we treat our most vulnerable citizens. What a classy country Canada has become. I could just puke.
