Excerpt:OTTAWA (LifeSiteNews) — Pierre Poilievre, leader of Canada’s Conservative Party praised one of his newest pro-life MPs, Andrew Lawton, for telling his story about almost dying by suicide, and for raising awareness of a bill that seeks to stop euthanasia from being expanded to those with mental illness.
“I want to thank Andrew for bravely coming forward to tell his story to try and help others suffering with their mental health,” wrote Poilievre on X last week.
Poilievre then thanked another one of his MPs, Tamara Jansen, for “leading the effort with Bill C-218 to protect these people and get them proper health care and treatment, not assisted suicide.”
As reported by LifeSiteNews, Conservative MP Lawton, who almost died in a suicide attempt 15 years ago, recently launched an initiative to help those struggling with mental illness choose life and to help stop a plan by the Canadian government to expand euthanasia to those with mental illness.
Canada Euthanasia
Dr. Ramona Coelho, a committee member on Ontario’s MAiD Death Review Committee, is accusing doctors of pushing patients aggressively towards suicide in increasingly questionable situations. She accused the institution itself of “rushing to death” through quick approvals to Canadia’s euthanasia program, called MAiD (Medical Aid in Dying).
She said, “These cases highlight how vulnerable individuals, having lost the capacity to consent, may be coerced or unduly influenced to die — whether through financial abuse, caregiver burnout, or other pressures — reminding us that the stakes are high — life and death, no less.”

Excerpt:
Canada is “rushing to death” through quick approvals for its euthanasia program Medical Aid in Dying (MAiD), according to a member of Ontario’s MAiD Death Review Committee.
Dr. Ramona Coehlo, a committee member and a family physician, made the warning after the committee released two reports, “Waivers of Final Consent,” and “Navigating Complex Issues within Same Day and Next Day MAiD Provisions,” that share case studies of people who have died by euthanasia through the MAiD regime….
One of the cases is of a woman in her 80s, “Mrs. B,” who was receiving palliative care after surgery complications. She underwent a MAiD assessment because she reportedly requested it, but the first MAiD assessor did not end up “prescribing” euthanasia because Mrs. B later said she wanted to withdraw that request.
The next day, her spouse, experiencing caregiver burnout, brought her to the emergency room while she was in stable condition. She was discharged again.
