I'm in the USA. I'm 66 years old with a mobility disability. A palliative care nurse came to visit me at home. She got to know me first, then asked me to sign a Do Not Resuscitate order (DNR). I told her no, I need to research it and think about it. Then she said, if I do sign it, to let her office know immediately. And then she started to tell me to think about under what circumstances I would sign a DNR order. Her Facebook page says she wants to see everyone vaccinated. Her office contacted me every three months wanting to see how I'm doing. I'm not signing a DNR until I decompose a few more years.

As a Canadian, I wonder each day what is happening in this country? Many of our political and social decisions are made without consideration for others. We seem to have the whims and desires of ngos and foundations thrust upon us. These guidelines are then turned into law, without much consideration for the people. Maid has become a turning point for Canadians and has controversy. How made has been presented, it is not life affirming. It also shows that there is less compassion for people with physical and mental illness, including disabilities. This is a slippery slope that needs to stop. We, as a country are heading towards a void of chaos and darkness.

This is not Canada.
