Bolt Out of the Blue: United Nations Committee Calls for Canada to Repeal Track 2 of its Assisted Suicide/Euthanasia Program.

By Ian McIntosh

This report comes in large part owing to the exceptional work done by Inclusion Canada -years in the making – who first issued this Press Release to announce this monumental news:

On Wednesday March 26, 2025, the UN Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities released a set of recommendations calling on the government of Canada to repeal Track 2 of its assisted suicide and euthanasia program. Specifically, Canada’s 2021 amendment to its Criminal Code that expanded through Bill C-7, which expanded eligibility passed promised safeguards.

Track 2 of the Canadian assisted suicide and euthanasia program allows people with disabilities (“grievous and irremediable medical condition”) whose natural death is not reasonably foreseeable to request assisted suicide or euthanasia.

Arguing against the very premise of Track 2, the report notes that the Canadian federal government,”…did not challenge the Quebec Truchon decision which fundamentally changes the whole premise of medical assistance in dying when natural death is reasonably foreseeable to a new program that establishes medically assisted dying for persons with disabilities based on negative, ableist perceptions of the quality and value of the life of persons with disabilities, including that ‘suffering’ is intrinsic to disability rather than the fact that inequality and discrimination cause and compound ‘suffering’ for persons with disabilities.”

Below is an excerpt from Christopher Lyon’s story of his father’s death. [Lyon pictured right]

"That was the worst day of my life. That day and those moments, in that room, there’s nothing… that compares to it… The provider was sitting beside me, on a couch right next to me, injecting very large syringes of propofol, which looks like milk, and other drugs into my father and taking his life…  A few seconds before, he’d been animated. And then he was a corpse."

In this short, five-minute video, Christopher documents the tragic and compelling story of his father’s unexpected death by assisted suicide. He shares his father’s complex character – a man who loved his family and yet was deeply troubled and struggled with depression. 

Canadian Premier Threatens to Cut Electricity to Millions of Americans as Trudeau Announces Retaliatory Tariffs

 Blaze News, March 04, 2025

The stock market did not respond positively to the trade war.

Canadian officials have announced retaliatory tariffs against the U.S. after President Donald Trump followed through with his tariff threat on the nation's largest trade partners.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau warned that the trade war would hurt Americans, but Ontario Premier Doug Ford went further and said his province was ready to cut off electricity to millions of Americans in New York, Minnesota, and Michigan.

'If they want to try to annihilate Ontario, I will do everything — including cut off their energy with a smile on my face.'

Trudeau spoke from Ottawa and directed his comments to the American people after announcing retaliatory tariffs.

"I want to speak first directly to the American people. We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally. And we don't want to see you hurt, either," he said.

"But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, markets are down, and inflation is set to rise dramatically all across your country. Your country has chosen to put American jobs at risk at the thousands of workplaces that succeed because of materials from Canada, or because of consumers in Canada, or both," Trudeau added.

Let's Call MAID What It Is

By Kelsi Sheren (pictured right)

Pro-death cult members desperately try to defend their belief that MAiD [Medical Aid in Dying] is safe, painless, and devoid of criminality—but let’s call it what it is.

It’s homicide.

First off, yes—homicide means the killing of a human being, whether lawful or unlawful. That’s not some tricky wordplay; it’s the legal and factual definition. It includes murder, but it also includes justifiable killings, self-defense, and yes, even MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying). Pretending that pointing out a correct definition is some kind of intellectual deception is laughable.
