$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".

You're Invited to Our Annual Knowledge Exchange Workshop

Hello 

...Made possible with financial support from Health Canada, we are pleased to offer travel and accommodation support to ensure your participation is as seamless as possible. We will cover the costs of airfare (economy flight) and hotel arrangements for the duration of the workshop...(all emphasis added)

MAiD Research Forum 2026: Research to Inform Practice and Policy

"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!

We are thrilled to invite you to our upcoming Canadian MAiD Curriculum (CMC) Stakeholder Meeting on Wednesday, April 23, 2.025, from 11 AM-12 PMPT / 2 PM-3 PM Eï via Zoom

As we celebrate nearly three incredible years since the launch of the Canadian MAiD Curriculum and step into our final year of project funding, we’re excited to reconnect with our amazing network of stakeholders. This meeting is a chance to reflect on how far we've come, share highlights from recent learner feedback, and spotlight what's ahead, including launching an exciting new initiative: the MAiD Coordinator’s Pilot.

Woo hoo! Thanks to everyone for helping to make this happen today!

Last we have the creation of a Canadian Journal of MAID. Published twice a year. 32 pages of MAID, MAID, and more MAID. Paid for by you.
