So confused! Canada abolished the Death Penalty but they’re all in for assisted suicide?

I get the concept of assisted suicide. If you’re terminally ill, in pain, bedridden, and there is no hope, pulling the plug may not be the worst option you’ve got.

I’ve known a few people in my life who reached that stage and pulled their own plug. That’s a decision I actually respect since they were in control, and didn’t want to drag their loved ones down a tortuous road that only ended in a horrible protracted death.

What has blown my mind is the Canadian Health Care system appears to be all in. Some of the articles I’ve read on the subject have interviews with people who are seeking assisted suicide for matters that are treatable. 

What appears to be an opinion piece on Canada’s assisted suicide, appears in The Spectator

Reuters had an article that discusses the ongoing debate in Canada. The article is here

It’s arguable that criminals are mentally ill and therefore could seek assisted suicide. Someone sentenced to life without the possibility of parole might also choose assisted suicide. Which means essentially that Canada could have its cake and eat it too regarding criminals. The court doesn’t impose the death penalty, but the criminal chooses it via the Health Care System.

There have been several articles implying that the Canadian Health Care system, (The model of socialized medicine) has excessive wait times for care. Other articles suggest that homelessness might constitute “excessive” suffering and may therefore be reasons to access assisted suicide. 

I’m very confused by all this.

TX Gov. Abbott busses 130 Migrants to VPs house on Christmas Eve… Democrats Mad

Twits

Another MSNBC report had someone clutching their pearls about the fact that Washington DC temperature was 18° – 22° F when the illegals were dropped off. Apparently, some of these illegals were dressed only in T-Shirts, shorts, and sandals, wrapped in blankets.

These people then almost immediately boarded another bus and were taken to a local church.

The Horror! The inhumanity!

It should be noted that the busses transporting these folks had heaters, and that they were at little risk of frostbite or death by exposure.

The same unfortunately cannot be said for the thousands of illegal immigrants sleeping on the streets of El Paso in 22° F weather.

In comparison, I’d bet these people Abbott bused to Washington DC feel pretty lucky. 

What’s not being said is that El Paso and almost all of the border towns and states no longer have the capacity to house the flood of illegals the Biden Administration policies have encouraged to come to the United States.

What is more cruel? An administration that allows this, or a Governor sending illegals to places that have the capacity to take care of them?

It should also be pointed out that it is far warmer south of the border. It’s even springtime in the Southern Hemisphere.

Just Sayin!
