They wouldn't have needed to had there been some effort put into stemming the rise of unaffordable housing and looking into more rent-controlled zones. :| This is very sad, and I guarantee there will be more people like this (even if it isn't through MAID - there is bound to be at least as many who didn't do this the 'official' way).

What happened was a few weeks ago police started shooting unarmed protesters with live ammunition, and about a week after that a group of progovernment protesters came and started to wreck tents, signs and beat up people with bats.

They’re pointing out that there are cases of people going through MAID who have explicated that they would not be going through the process if they simply had access to basic resources that they have been intentionally denied.

    As a Canadian, the solution to the two cases described is not pulling back on MAiD laws. Everyone has a right to die with dignity, we should not take that away. The solution is to make it so that the ODSP and other disability stipends/welfare are enough money to live a good, comfortable life on. Everyone deserves to live with dignity, even if they can't work. I am able bodied, and only suffer with severe ADHD and GAD, and I live in one of Canada's cheaper housing markets. I would simply NOT be able to live alone on the amount of cash provided under the ODSP. The ODSP needs to give people the equivalent to a full time minimum wage job AT LEAST - which is over double what the ODSP provides.

They'd be far better off financially and healthwise if they were to move to somewhere outside of the city. The fact that they'd go to "kill myself" before "leave city" is just astonishing to me.

      @@tylociraptor8131 I can imagine a number of reasons why they chose not to leave Toronto. Generally speaking its more expensive to live outside of a city in the suburbs than it is to live in the city (best of both worlds), so you'd have to go FAR outside of the city. Which in turn means having to rely heavily on existing infrastructure. That level of disability would (most likely) make it illegal to drive, so you would need to rely on public transportation. Specialists generally do not exist outside of major cities. You would end up spending more to travel to the city in terms of money and time. And that's the other issue, if you're living off 1200 CAD a month, you likely don't have a large enough cushion of funds to afford to move far away from a city in the first place.

I grew up WAY under the poverty line suffering shit people (let alone small children) should never have to endure. I am now in a much more stabilized place financially but issues of access will always inspire great empathy in me. Let’s be clear - physician assisted suicide should be a right that we have.

      I’ve been thinking a lot about this recently. I have a sister who I’m currently helping to take care of who has treatment-resistant suicidal depression, among other things. Even as I try to help her move towards regaining her sense of dignity in life, I quietly wish she had the resources to dignified, physician-assisted suicide so that she could at least feel like she wasn’t being forced into living
      If my sister had access to those resources, she would be less likely to want them, and my responsibilities as her brother would be much easier. That’s my honest belief. At the very least, she would have her dignity again, one way or the other, And it horrifies me that there are people today in North America who are being pushed into this sort of situation out of a problem as fixable as improper resource allocation. It’s unconscionable
      Human beings are nothing without their innermost dignity, I think, and our societies have taken it upon themselves to claw their way into the very hearts and souls of some folks and tear that dignity right out of them. What a shame it is. Are people not tired enough, after all this?

AAAAAAALL psychoactive drugs are forbidden, so mental illness can not be treated.. All those drugs are banned... Now they're making suicide easier rather than treatment.... Bipolar guy has a few months of depression and then just kills himself. Could have gone back and forth between good, OK and bad episodes throughout life, but instead the darkest version of the bipolar person accepted the government's kind offer to help kill off the whole guy. THAT will be legalized and made easy, treatment? Nope. Can't do that, cause kids love drugs.. Tough luck for mentally ill people I guess..

    Regarding the assisted death story: it feels like society failed these people. They should have been able to find living situations that allowed them to have happy, healthy lives to the best extent possible given their pre-existing conditions. They should never have had to even consider this option. That it reached this point is heartbreaking. I hope that added attention to this causes both significant changes to how services are provided to those with chronic illnesses/disabilities in the long term, and that in the short term that some other acceptable options become available to these people so they have another option besides ending their lives.

Someone should really start some gofundme's for people in these types of situations. And try to get people with bigger platforms to help promote the campaigns. I mean in all honesty. If we as a society really cared. We would have made a site that tries to fund changing people's lives instead of funding people's shitty indie movies. I mean lots of us sit around mad the government won't create better programs for basic needs and people who actually need help. But we could fund it and start doing it ourselves. We could.

      As someone financially dependent on the government of Canada, I think one of the biggest reasons for why support is so low is because people scream about their tax dollars. Look I get it, seeing money you worked hard for going away to the void of the government sucks, it feels bad and there's no way around that. But I think it is also important to entertain the idea that regardless of the effort some people put in, they simply can't function to the ability you can. They deserve help, and deserve a solid quality of life.
      Everyone I know on income support is below our national poverty line. Literally being punished for circumstances completely out of our control.

    On the most basic level, as an audience member, you enter into a pact with the actors on stage. You're there to watch and enjoy their performance, but what happens on that stage and in that theater is meant to be enjoyed in that theater. To record artistic work without permission is wrong, breaks that pact, and takes the magic away from the play. It's just not what you do! But then to make matters so much worse, SO MUCH WORSE, to record a scene where an actor is in a vulnerable position (like being nude) and to share it with the entire world is so terrible. No values, ethics, or respect by the person who did that. I hope that people do not look up the photo/video and try to respect his privacy.

    I'm pro-euthanasia, and I'm pro allowing people with debilitating illness to seek out euthanasia for themselves too, not just those who are already dying. The bar should be high for that, though, and all other options exhausted. These two people, they should be given access to the kinds of housing that would allow them to live a better quality of life. If the housing doesn't help them, then euthanasia could be considered again, but they should be given the opportunity to try and have their life improved first. This shouldn't be an issue of classism, everyone deserves a decent quality of life at minimum, no matter their health or wealth, and no matter their ability to work or not.
    I have ASD along with other conditions, and it prevents me from working. I'm scared of the future especially when I can no longer rely on my family to help me, so that story hit way too close to home, except in my country, assisted suicide isn't an option. It is illegal entirely.

The woman highlighted in this video is proof that, if you want to stop poor people from killing themselves, outlawing euthanasia isn't the right move. Clean, affordable housing is the first step. And free food and healthcare should go right along with that. Don't blame these people for euthanizing themselves or the hospitals that help. Blame the people who are making living unbearable.

Also, governments suck at supporting people in poverty that can’t work due to disabilities or chronic medical conditions. I live in Canada in the martimes and I only see $950 to live on. And according To a recent study to have a living wage in the capital city of my province is $22.50, the current minimum wage is $12-13. They also claim that if you make under $35,000 a year, your living in property. So people working full time jobs are still “in poverty”. Like wtf?! And when they had CERB during the first few waves of covid, they claimed that the $2000 a month payments were “the basic income amount “. Anyone else see how screwed up these numbers are? Sometimes the stress of being force to live with so little money is more stressful then the condition that keeps you from working in the first place. I see assisted suicide as a compassionate choice for people but when you receive such little money to maintain your chronic condition, it becomes a factor in living.

    I am on ODSP and live in subsidized housing in Ontario. The building managers are bullies and lack any basic compassion. They look down on the poor, and certainly don't take (valid) complaints seriously. I have written letters applying for a more accessible unit and was told no. Around the start of the pandemic and through until present, management keeps making changes that make this place a less accessible, less comfortable place to live. (Removing seating from the lobby area, restricting normal use of the garbage and recycling access, raising the price of the laundry with less machines that constantly break down, threatening to halt mail delivery to the building and have it rerouted to the post office across town.) I've been here almost 13 years, there are many elderly and infirm residents as well as families with children. I have started struggling more and more often with suicidal thoughts the past 3 years, and it's not as easy as it seems to get help. I have had a debilitating auto-immune disease for about 15 years and live with chronic pain daily, sometimes unbearably severe. It has caused me depression and hopelessness but I was able to handle those difficulties. Now my hopelessness is caused by watching the cost of living steadily climb, but my ODSP cheque stays the same. By the continued failings of the government and their just utter disregard for vulnerable people. This story is so incredibly sad because of course they're killing the sick and poor instead of setting us up for success. It's way too easy to silence people and ignore their needs when you view them as a complaining nuisance.

    I know this. Support available to people with chronic illnesses and disabilities in NZ is so pitiful, and structured in such a way as put people in the humiliating position of constantly needing to beg for things they need, that there is no dignity. And because of this, were I forced to rely on that system, I would prefer to take my own life than survive on less than my currently weekly grocery bill. So I see it as twofold - I'm glad people have that option, but at the same time, it's definitely euthanising the poor.

    I can speak on physician-assisted suicide. My 90-year-old mother died this Sunday, Mother's Day. Two years ago while at a "rehab", mother somehow had her back broken. My sister and I immediately brought her home with the help of hospice, and we took care of her for these two years, which was a blessing. This last month has been hell. Up until a month ago, she was fine. She was in a hospital bed here at home with me and my sister. She could still talk and enjoy the company of relatives and neighbors who dropped in to visit with her. But a month ago, almost overnight, something happened. She quit eating and drinking. There was nothing we could do except put in a feeding tube, which she refused, which she had the right to refuse. For a month, my sister and I gave mother water in a 1 mm syringe. She suffered greatly at the end and there was nothing we could do. She died when her lungs filled with fluid and she could not breathe. Indiana does not have physician-assisted death but hell, we just elected a murderer for a political office. Mom's funeral is tomorrow.

    As someone in Canada, I think the root problem with those stories *isn't* the AS accessibility, but the poverty that lead to them seeing it as the only option. There ARE ways that both of their lives could, at the very least, be made manageable, but making those options only available to people who already have the wealth to attain and sustain those means (since they usually either cannot work or work for long enough to afford care) is what drives those who are already struggling financially to lose faith that there are ANY avenues they can take to find relief and support.
    We need to be taking FAR better care of our most vulnerable citizens and everyone fucking knows it. Housing is way too expensive in all the places that need workers, but those workers aren't making enough to keep themselves housed and fed, disability payments are nowhere close to high enough to actually ensure people are taken care of, our healthcare system (while not as garbage as the US) still does not have fully fleshed out support systems for the most vulnerable.

Or for example, my little sister was supposed to be given benefits because due to her vision disabilities she’ll never be able to drive and a couple other things, and we were told an amount we’d be getting and everything.

Average rent for a 1bdrm in Toronto is almost $2000, ODSP giving her $1,169 a month is barely enough to get by, even with subsidized housing (which is also almost always the shittiest of apartments). I agree that MAiD is necessary for those with terminal illness, but the gov should have never opened up MAiD to include these less terminal illnesses, since most of the time money is what is keeping those people from thriving. They want to extend it to include the mentally ill as well. Given how many of us lost our minds during the pandemic, something tells me a lot of people will think that is there only answer out of poverty. They need to stop pushing MAiD and start taking care of their people.

    thank you for covering the MAiD stories, Phil. more people need to hear about what's happening here in Canada. i'm a disabled canadian and last year's extension of MAiD disturbs me greatly. i fear a lot of folks like me are going to die because they don't have access to what they need to make life worth living. these things are achievable, but the government chose to implement MAiD instead of actually improving our lives. in the midst of a pandemic, no less! and if the use of MAiD for poverty becomes commonplace, i fear that there will be less done to improve our living conditions. it's cheaper to let us die than to help us live, as sick as that sounds.
    i believe in the choice to die. but, i think in order for that choice to be ethical, we need the choice to live as comfortably as possible too. not having access to a life worth living makes the choice to die coercive, in my opinion.

      The government didn't really have a choice. The Supreme Court ruled that limiting assisted suicide to the terminally ill was discriminatory. There is of course different government involved, since disability and housing are provincial and the euthenasia law is a federal mandate. I think a lot of people are reasonably worried some who could be helped will choose death instead, but we do need to weigh that against the rights of people to die.

      It's happening in the US too. My sister has some disabilities and was living on her own with help from SS and housing. Last year her landlady couldn't evict her or not renew the lease, so instead she got around that by removing herself from the housing program and saying she could renew and stay but it went from 500 to 750. Not only couldn't she pay the original price herself, and not work more (and keep SS), she of course couldn't pay the increased price. And that landlady was a total manipulative cunt to begin with and there had been other incidences where they tried to take advantage of my sister. So she tries to find a place but there's literally nowhere in this town with apartments available, especially when landlords can't evict yet and no one has any money. There's places "available" but they aren't in the housing program or are unwilling to join it. So if my parents didn't have her room available she would effectively be homeless despite still being actively involved in governmental programs, because the programs don't do enough to actually advocate and support people in those positions. She'd be worse off if my mom wasn't constantly advocating for her because she doesn't have anyone actually doing that and mediating bullshit like this to begin with.

    Thanks for covering the crisis in Sri Lanka Phil! I do wish you mentioned that the violence was instigated by the PM when the protests were largely peaceful for almost a month, bringing the majority of the country together against a corrupt ruling family.

      Maybe you can explain it, because I am confused. The man performed publicly for strangers, then more strangers saw it. Isn't it at most a copyright issue only? Not trying to be a smart ass, I legitimately don't get it.

      @@michaelmayo2365 the theatre isnt something thats super public like movies or tv shows are. Most performances never end up on TV and thus only the people who attended the show will have ever seen it. Thus, the man has a reasonable expectation of privacy within the show (as in, he can reasonably assume that only a handful of strangers will see him naked and his body wont be mass circulated for a massive amount of people to see). Its shtty to invade that privacy without his consent.
      Its kind of like how its disgusting for someone to subscribe to a girl's onIyfans, and then leak the images/videos. She only consented to share her content with people who pay for access, and thus if you leak it you are vioIating her consent. Likewise, he only consented to showing his body to people who came to the show.

      A performance is meant to be a one off thing, unless it's a specifically filmed event. Sort of like how jam band fans geek out on specific performances. Theater people are weird, but respect needs to be shown for the culture.

      I agree it's a violation of the tacit agreement between the audience and the actor. But like Take Me Out is an old play and you'd think a known actor would realize when they perform roles with nudity on stage, whether it's Take Me Out, Equus, or Hair, that there is an almost 100% chance pictures will leak. It's unfortunate and deserves criticism, but he probably should have expected it.

    I think that this is, essentially, euthanizing the poor. In these cases, both of them would not have happened if they'd had affordable access to proper housing. However, I have a suspicion that the usual crowd who'd be screaming about this would rather have the law appealed and then not bother fixing the problems with housing that led to these cases, which would be particularly ghoulish. Everyone who is suffering deserves to be able to leave their lives with dignity if that is what they wish.
    So yes, this is a problem, but it's a problem not because they have the ability to choose death, but because their financial status combined with their medical problems made them feel like that was their only option. You cannot take away their choice, the only solution is better housing.

    • @TachibanaTengoku

      It's impossible. No affordable housing would have the same conditions as high end real estate which is what they would likely require to make their condition less annoying. The condition of the properties is exactly why it's affordable in the first place, they cut corners on high end ventilation systems and cheap out on cleaning services, probably also in a shitty area too, that's precisely what makes it affordable? It sucks but that's life really.
      Revamping an entire apartment complexes filtration system so that smoke from smokers and chemical fumes can't get into other apartments is prohibitively expensive, and it's not right to tell people they can't smoke in their own homes either.
