"It is important that legislation addressing medically assisted dying is clear and includes necessary safeguards. I do not support expanding physician assisted suicide to minors or people who are unable to truly consent," writes Poilievre.

Say you don't even know what consent means without saying you don't know. Yet another dumb ass politician who has no idea what the words" mentally ill" truly entail. They've clearly been shielded from some grim horrors the world has to offer.

As if terminally ill children don't exist, or those with health problems that make them miserable, as if there aren't mentally ill people who have been suffering longer than this chump has even been alive and get paternalised by strangers and told they don't have capacity for decision making. When those teenagers reach adulthood and are still suffering from intractable pain, they will continually be told they're too immature to make a decision. Look at the outcry over of the 23 year old who accessed euthanasia in Belgium recently. She had been hurting for years and was on 11 drugs at once, but somehow hope must have been on the horizon when she'd applied multiple times already and got denied due to age.

It's kind of funny how people like this don't believe the so called mentally ill can consent to bodily autonomy, yet expect them to make various life decisions daily on their own, and often punish people for the "wrong" choices like being forced into low wage jobs, drinking or smoking, showing emotions, being honest about their struggles especially if things don't improve, yet claim one shouldn't have the right to exercise the ultimate authority over their body and terminate life.

On this single issue I prefer the alternative politicians but overall they are just as bad if not worse. He was a bad choice though...that party could've done better. But then again it doesn't matter once the electoral system has been hijacked by a single self-interested mafia. One party goes cultural the other pretends to be conservative and goes war. Either way everyone loses except for that same old crowd. Buddy's already got a court XXX hovering in the background trying to get him to start another war...hey, guess what? Some of us see you. So I guess you better accelerate WW3...classy.

Anyway. Peaceful suicide should be a right...otherwise I want full compensation for all my years of hardship having been fabricated as a prop for the POS crowd who runs things. Uh-oh...did the prop go off the reservation? I guess that version of victim reparations isn't approved of by the woke thought leaders/liars. Luckily I don't care anymore and no longer take instructions on morality from them.

Like anywhere else, politics and most politicians in this country are a joke. I guess we at least have the "freedom" to vote for which of them gets in, though the whole system is just a farce.

Ugh, disgusting but not a surprise. Altho that website gives off a brietbart-esque stink of misinformation, I'm sure conservatives are going to unnecessarily complicate maid, push their religious agenda. And there's plenty of idiots that'll vote for him, too. They love stirring up the brain dead masses before upcoming election cycles.
