Canada is turning into a Soylent Green dystopia in front of us:

This B.C. woman was offered MAID before other treatments

quote:

Lancaster had a fractured sacrum, a break in a bone at the base of the spine that's connected to the pelvis. She and her daughter, Jordan Weaver, allege that, while still in the emergency department, a young doctor at Vancouver General Hospital (VGH) raised the option of a medically assisted death.

'(The doctor) came in and said, "Miriam, I understand you're in a lot of pain. We can offer you MAID." Just like that,' Weaver said.

'My mother and I are practicing Catholics. We would never accept MAID under any circumstances.'

Only when they answered with a firm 'no' were other treatment options raised, the family said.

'The doctor said, "Well, you could get rehab, but it will be a long road, and it will be very difficult; we don't know what to expect,'" Weaver said.

When you have socialized medicine the government sees you as a liability after a certain age.

This was openly discussed by a Dr. Jonathan Gruber during the Obamacare debate here in the US.

The Fatal Conceit of Jonathan Gruber

The economist’s reliance on “science” and “expertise”—and his disdain for the common man—recall the state planners of the Soviet Union.

https://www.hoover.org/researc...ceit-jonathan-gruber



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
-- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

"The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth."

This is real, it’s from the New Democratic Party leadership convention where they were gathering to select a new leader among other things. The context is people who wanted to ask questions could hold up “equity cards” based on their intersectional identity and bypass the line. It’s basically a victimhood Olympics with each “marginalized” group trying to take precedence. As someone else pointed out it feels like a bad SNL skit.

Now this.
quote:
Air Canada’s chief executive, Michael Rousseau, said on Monday that he would step down, days after criticism over his condolence message, delivered almost entirely in English, after a fatal accident involving an Air Canada plane at New York’s LaGuardia Airport.

The airline said in a statement that Mr. Rousseau, who was appointed chief executive in 2021, would retire by the end of the third quarter. Company directors would evaluate candidates to succeed him on several factors, “including the ability to communicate in French,” according to the statement.


NYT article with Rousseau’s condolence message.

Apparently , his inability to speak French didn’t matter the last 5 years.

That's a pretty insane response to the tragedy. Is it now national policy that CEO's must be bilingual? This strikes me as an exercise of power against a target of opportunity. Force the guy to drop everything to grovel for forgiveness in front of his betters. As if he had nothing more important to do in dealing with the accident on top of keeping the company running. The government is warning everyone, even the wealthiest and most successful in business, ti remain afraid that the government will squash you.
