This article is about three weeks old. #Canada killed the first man via the Medical Assistance in Dying ( #MAiD) program. That acronym is similar to iPhone. It's clearly a depopulation agenda.

#Quote Canada has just killed the first citizen under the Canadian government’s controversial new plans to begin #euthanizing #patients who have been injured by Covid “vaccines.”

An Ontario man in his late 40s has become the first person to be #euthanized for “ #post- #COVID-19 #vaccination #syndrome.”

The man was killed under Canada’s “assisted suicide” laws via the #government’s taxpayer-funded Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program.

Doctors had determined that the patient had become a #burden on the socialized #healthcare #system.

They #warned that he wouldn’t recover from “ #post-vaccine #syndrome” and ruled that MAiD was a better option than long-term care.

The patient, identified only as “Mr. A,” had experienced “suffering and functional decline” following three #Covid #mRNA #vaccinations.

The doctors said the patient was suffering from depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and personality disorders as a result of the “post-vaccine syndrome.”

The man was twice admitted to hospital, once involuntarily, due to his condition.

Doctors noted that the patient had “thoughts of suicide” while “navigating his physical symptoms.”

The anonymized case is one of several highlighted in a series of reports issued by a 16-member MAiD death review committee struck by Ontario’s chief coroner’s office in January.

“Amongst his multiple specialists, no unifying diagnosis was confirmed,” according to the report.

However, his MAID assessors “opined that the most reasonable diagnosis for Mr. A’s clinical presentation (severe functional decline) was a post-vaccine syndrome, in keeping with chronic fatigue syndrome.”

Yet, there were no “pathological findings” at a post-mortem that could identify any underlying physiological diagnosis, the report notes.

Despite agreeing that the man’s condition was caused by a vaccine injury, multiple specialists consulted before his death couldn’t agree on a diagnosis.

The lack of a clear diagnosis raises further questions as to whether the man’s condition met the criteria for an “irremediable,” meaning a hopeless, incurable condition.

However, Canada’s assisted dying law requires people to have a grievous and irremediable physical condition.

Psychiatric experts raised concerns about whether the man’s mental illnesses would or should have rendered him ineligible for MAiD.

Some members of the MAiD death review panel also questioned whether a condition “previously unrecognized in medicine” — namely, a possible “post-vaccine somatic (meaning affecting the body) syndrome” — could be considered incurable.

Canada’s rapidly expanding euthanasia industry has been a growing concern for some time.

The Canadian government first introduced MAiD in June 2016.

By relaxing the laws, the nation legalized assisted suicide for those whose death was reasonably foreseeable.

The MAiD program was supposed to offer an alternative option for terminally ill people so they could avoid a painful death and die with dignity.

However, the nation’s Liberal government has increasingly expanded the laws since 2016.

Today, the Canadian government is euthanizing citizens for #depression, #hearing-loss, #autism, and even #poverty and #homelessness.

The government is even pushing to expand euthanasia laws to include #children and #infants.

What started as an option for terminally ill people is now being used to eliminate those who have become a burden on the nation’s socialized healthcare system.

The recent MAiD death review committee report highlights another case involving a different unemployed male in his 40s with inflammatory bowel disease.

The man was living with few social supports, was dependent on family for housing and financial support, and had struggled with alcohol and opioid addictions.

Consider how many middle class people became homeless during the 2008 mortgage crisis, and what a trauma it was when successful people became "street bums" in a matter of months. Your entire life's work snapped up by banks leaving you with just the clothes on your back.

It’s a social emergency. More than 30 million people in Europe are living in severe social and material deprivation – according to the latest European statistics.

That’s 30 million women, men and children who cannot afford a roof over their heads or a proper meal every second day, who rely on every single cent in their wallets and don’t know what tomorrow will bring.

If society has failed them, we won’t. The fight against poverty is and always will be at the heart of our political battle.

As the second largest group in the European Parliament, we are putting maximum pressure on the new European Commission and member states to roll out a broad anti-poverty strategy, as well as a specific plan to invest massively in affordable housing.

Pulling millions of people out of poverty is not a wishful objective: it can be achieved if European leaders and governments make it a top priority.

#Homelessness in the U.S. jumped to #record level in 2023, government says
April Rubin

..."Homelessness increased by about 12% nationwide since last year, and it rose across all household types, the Department of Housing and Urban Development said in a new report.

About 653,100 people experienced homelessness on a single night in 2023, according to an annual count done in January.
This year's result "is the highest number of people reported as experiencing homelessness on a single night since reporting began in 2007," the report says.
By the numbers: Black, African and Indigenous people were overrepresented among the population experiencing homelessness, as has been the case in previous years, the HUD found.

Black people made up 13% of the U.S. population in 2023, but they made up 21% of the U.S. population living in poverty, 37% of all people experiencing homelessness and 50% of homeless people in families with children.
Asian and Asian American people had the largest percentage increase in homelessness, up 40% from 2022, to a total of 11,574.
Hispanic and Latino people saw the largest numerical increase, up 28% from 2022 to 179,336 in 2023.
Zoom in: Families with children saw a 16% increase in homelessness."...

Tory pledge to end homelessness by 2024 was just another hollow promise...
If you eradicate affordable homes and decimate social housing, refuse to regulate
landlords then you just drive up the number of rough sleepers caught in the poverty
trap...

In a now-deleted tweet, US state-funded VOA Farsi posted a photo of homeless people along with a quote from a Tehran Municipality official saying "we make people feel better".

The only problem was that the image was not from ziran, but Portland, OR in US.

Not that there are any homeless people on Iran, but this is absolutely pathetic of a state sponsored propaganda organization like #VOA!

This doctor wants to prescribe a cure for #homelessness

..."Boozary and his hospital partnered with their city government and the United Way of Greater Toronto to build a new, four-story building on hospital land to provide permanent housing to those grappling with homelessness. This multimillion-dollar project, scheduled to open this summer, is essentially a form of public housing where doctors are triaging and identifying who most needs a home.

The first phase of this new program, he says, will amount to more than 50 units that will provide people with their own bathroom, kitchen, and bed. Boozary hopes to see the program scale and dramatically reduce the number of homeless people.

Boozary says it's not only a matter of social justice, but sound economics. "It could cost about $30,000 or more to have a patient on a hospital ward for a month, or nearly $7,000 to be in a sheltering system for the month versus $2,500 to $2,800 per month for supportive housing," he says.

Other hospitals in the United States that are getting into the housing business have come to a similar conclusion. "Many hospitals realize it's cheaper to provide a month of housing than to keep patients for a single night," Kaiser Health News reports. But while other hospitals have focused on providing temporary housing to homeless people, University Health Network is focusing on making permanent units.

In addition to the program aimed at providing permanent housing to homeless people, Boozary's hospital also funded a program that provided food boxes to them during the depths of the pandemic economic downturn.

"I, in my medical training, never thought that I would be prescribing food or housing," Boozary says. "This should not be the case. But that's the desperate state of poverty we're in. What would you have us do as health workers?"

Boozary is quick to point out that the programs his hospital is pursuing won't alone solve the problem of homelessness in Toronto. But he hopes his program will prove effective and scalable. At the end of the day, Boozary says, only political will and large public investments in housing and community social work will end the homeless crisis."...

A growing hospital movement aims to improve health outcomes of homeless patients with what might be considered the ultimate preventive care: providing them with a home.
