They sure have. And as someone who has testified before parliamentary committees on MAID three times, I can tell you the hostility and aggressiveness towards any criticism or challenge of MAiD during this last round was unparalleled. Senator Wells was a big part of why.

"Barriers" has become a repetitive buzzword, used as a blanket label for any rule, law, or regulation. Deliberate obscuring of intent when those act as safeguards, protections and requirements to prevent abuse and protect lives. It renders word meaningless & as a crip I object.

I haven’t been writing regularly on substack and part of that is because of health issues I’ve been dealing with. But the other part is I don’t have many paid subscriptions and I’m kind of over watching my work copied and pasted by those who get paid & access to write/speak.

1. It is killing. Euthanasia is the killing of one person by another. 2. The govt itself refers to it as the MAiD regime. 3. Speaking plainly and directly is the most effective way to neutralize deceptive language, such as obfuscation, political spin, or govt doublespeak.
