Canada's new assisted suicide bill doesn't allow visitors

[RockX]

TORONTO — Canada on Thursday introduced a new assisted suicide law that will apply only to citizens and residents, meaning Americans won't be able to travel to Canada to die.

Canadian government officials said a person would have to be eligible for health services in Canada to take advantage of the law, which applies to "adults who are suffering intolerably and for whom death is reasonably foreseeable." It says the person must be mentally competent, 18 or older, have a serious and incurable disease, illness or disability and be in an advanced state of irreversible decline of capability.

Canada's Supreme Court last year struck down laws that bar doctors from helping someone die, but put the ruling on hold while the government came up with a new law. The proposed law still requires approval in Parliament but is expected to pass, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal government controls the majority of seats.

Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould said the law ensures that dying patients who are suffering unbearable pain have the choice of a peaceful death. Health Minister Jane Philpott, a doctor, said she has witnessed some people die miserably.

"This will have a positive, significant impact on the lives of Canadians," Trudeau said. "It is important to respect the choices made by Canadians."

Is that old news?

How many years ago was that?

Poor BLABO.

Did Orly Taitz tell you that?

BLABO says Canadian Cruzs' belated repudiation of his citizenship of the land of his birth (Canada) is old news. It happened less than two years ago.

Then, in a masterful display of Blabonian stupidity, he posts the "news" that Obama lost his "Kenyan" citizenship when he was 23. More than 30 years ago.


Poor BLABO.

"Blabonian stupidity", priceless.

Didn't you know that conservative years are measured differently from liberal years?

Like dog years?

Like dog years?

Yes, exactly.

[Legion Troll]

Wouldn't someone have to be a special kind of stupid to claim that an event that occurred less than 2 years ago is "old" news" and that one that occurred more than 30 years ago is relevant - in the same thread?
