The Canadian government says it is urgently trying to end the forced sterilization of Indigenous women, describing the practice as a human rights violation and a prosecutable offense. Yet police say they will not pursue a criminal investigation into a recent case in which a doctor apologized for his “unprofessional conduct” in sterilizing an Inuit woman.
In July, The Associated Press reported on the case of an Inuit woman in Yellowknife who had surgery in 2019 aimed at relieving her abdominal pain. The obstetrician-gynecologist, Dr. Andrew Kotaska, did not have the woman’s consent to sterilize her, and he did so over the objections of other medical personnel in the operating room. She is now suing him.
“This is a pivotal case for Canada because it shows that forced sterilization is still happening,” said Dr. Unjali Malhotra, of the First Nations Health Authority in British Columbia. “It’s time that it be treated as a crime.”

“…the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said they would not be investigating Kotaska, because the woman hasn’t filed a criminal complaint”
Between this and the euthanasia laws being deliberately abused by doctors pushing it onto patients, can we declare Canada genocidal yet?
MAID being pushed on poor people, MAID being pushed on veterans asking for mental health
many Canadians will know examples of it being abused
You seem to have missed the part where I asked for an example. That means providing evidence for one’s claims.
I absolutely can. Lemme give you an article about it, and not Fox News either.

It’s actually a giant problem where doctors and hopsitals are actively pushing this onto the poor in order to “Free up a few beds”, even going far as to shame people who refuse for being “selfish”
Nothing wrong with offering end of life care, I’m all for it, but when you’re actively pushing it onto patients and even making commercials talking about “How glamorous suicide is!” (which they did, and it aired on Youtube, but it got pulled due to massive dislikes and violating Youtube’s policies which forbid advocating self-harm)… It leaves me with the impression that you’ve got a problem you’re looking for a “Final Solution” to.
Honestly more people need to know about this and just how… well… blatantly genocidal Canada is acting.
While I agree that assistance in dying should not be used to offset a lack of other necessary care, like mental health, addictions (which I believe are disqualifiers for MAID), or disability, the article provided only examples of health care professionals offering the service to people who had severly diminished quality of life as an option of part of their care. I think it’s a stretch to say these were examples of coersion. The decision is left solely to the patient, and I think their family’s account can often cloud any reporting of what the patient’s wishes actually are.
Anecdotally, the health professionals I know say there are far too many families, and ocassionally doctors who think they’re superheros, who wish to prolong their relative’s/patient’s life for the sole purpose of delaying death. People, like Mr. Nichols’ family, will say he’s got a great quality of life, but picture yourself in his shoes. Deaf for most of your life, now vision loss, seizures, your body essentially withering away. He was suffering, and clearly, he wanted to end it. Several inquiries noted he fully qualified for and received MAID as he wished, even though it may not have been the wish of his family.
I do think it would be useful to have a review panel for more complex cases, like Dr Marmoreo suggests. But, I think the majority of cases where the family might raise concerns are cases where they are prioretizing their wishes above those of the patient actually seeking the care, rather than a professional wantonly pushing MAID for no particular reason.
i’m not seeing the part of that article where there’s any evidence at all of health care workers pushing anybody to take MAiD.
Honestly everything the Nazi’s did, the Commonwealth of the United Kingdom did first the Nazis just scaled it up big time. Modern concentration camps, British. The idea of The Final Solution, Canadian. Forced sterilization and eugenics, born in Europe but expanded upon by the United States. At least Canada is trying to find justice for the victims of it’s past. Even if it’s obviously failing. Is Canada genocidal now, no. We’re they, absolutely. Are they do enough to reconcile, not even close.
No.
This is an example of a bad Doctor. Not bad medical practices in Canada.
MAiD isn’t being forced on anyone. Don’t believe the far right smear champaign.
https://apnews.com/article/covid-science-health-toronto-7c631558a457188d2bd2b5cfd360a867 - It’s not a smear campaign, it’s a widely documented phenomenon that the poor are being denied disability payments and proper healthcare, and being pushing into the suicide option.
Hell they even made an ad encouraging people to kill themselves which ran on Youtube, but was pulled for massive dislikes.
You just linked a far right news source and expect me to take you seriously?
There have been two alleged cases where a disabled person was “suggested” MAiD. One of the was a lie and the other was done by veterans affairs who has no authority to prescribe such a procedure.
I mean better than what they did before… In Retrospektive it was a pretty bad idea to burry indigenous children on school grounds wasn’t it?
