That's one sexy Skeksis

It's on Hamas as the elected government that they never put any resources towards anything but their "military" activities. Maybe if they put more effort into building Gazan infrastructure than shooting rockets they wouldn't be almost entirely reliant on their own enemies for fuel and electricity.

Green will quickly result in having no girlfriend though, unless you come up with some scheme to allow you to never poop in the same building as her.

Pets should never be a surprise for sure. Having an idea that you've got one coming and being willing to take care of it is another story altogether

I should also point out that the law doesn't specify addictions. It's about mental health conditions which just happens to include addiction. No provincial regulatory body has stated that they intend to allow addicts to recieve MAID.

Keep in mind that this is a Vice article. They are not really a reputable news source, they are sensationalist at best.

Vice isn't exactly a reputable news source.

MAID is already under heavy scrutiny. MAID assessors and providers are heavily regulated by independent bodies in each province/territory.

Its up to patients to decide whether they want MAID, and there are strict safeguards in place.

This particular comment chain stems from a dude claiming that MAID is just eugenics. Doesn't that seem a little ridiculous to you?

They fire off these things from civilian areas all the time. I don't see how it's so surprising to people that a shitty rocket fired out of a super dense city could fail and hit a building like a hospital.

Misfires happen all the time, but when you're shooting from within city limits the chance of one leading to tragedy is much higher.

So OP's statement that it was 20x California's is still inaccurate. Either way all this really indicates is ease of access in Canada. The idea that people are being forced into it is ludicrous conspiratorial thinking with absolutely no basis in fact.

Like when? The big one people were up in arms about was the veteran who was advised to look into it by a Veteran Affairs employee. Veteran Affairs has absolutely no say in whether someone can or should seek MAID, and that employee was acting alone. Pretty sure they got shit canned for it too.

Death panels still aren't a thing you dingus. No bodies of people deciding whether or not you should live or die, just people gaining the option to request it.

That's a Postmedia Network owned paper. They've got a conservative bias, best known for that Tory rag the National Post.

I don't think I'd trust unsourced statistics from an opinion piece in a Postmedia Network paper myself.
