Canadian woman goes to ER with backpain and is offered euthanasia.

An 84-year-old Canadian woman says she was shocked after being offered medically assisted suicide — before other treatment options — when she visited an emergency room suffering from “excruciating pain” in her back last year.
Miriam Lancaster, a resident of the province of British Columbia, recounted how quickly ER doctors at Vancouver General Hospital offered her Medical Aid in Dying (MAID) in response to the cause of her pain — a fractured sacrum, or a break in a bone at the base of the spine connected to the pelvis.
“I was approached by a young lady doctor whose very first words out of her mouth is, ‘We would like to offer you MAID.’ I was taken aback,” Lancaster recalled in a March 18 post on the social media platform X.
“That’s the last thing on my mind. [I] just wanted to find out why I was in pain and did not want to die.”
After rejecting assisted suicide, Lancaster spent a month in the hospital doing rehab and has since recovered from her injuries.
“[I] recuperated nicely enough that I could take some trips,” the retired piano teacher said.
“So my recovery has been amazing. And there was no need for MAID to even be suggested.”
Six weeks after she fractured her sacrum in April 2025, Lancaster walked her daughter down the aisle at her wedding, according to Canada’s National Post.
“She later travelled to Cuba (before the U.S. oil blockade), Mexico and, most recently, walked and rode on horseback up Guatemala’s Pacaya volcano,” the outlet reported.
Lancaster and her daughter, Jordan Weaver, said committing suicide goes against their Catholic faith.
“My mother and I are practicing Catholics. We would never accept MAID under any circumstances,” Weaver told the National Post.
“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 recounted.
Weaver said the hospital did offer other treatment options after she and her mother rejected MAID, but she’s stunned it was presented as a first option.

Don’t tell Bama fans that is an option when they have to sit through more of the decline of their program.
On second thought, telling Bama fans might not be a bad idea.

Death Cult.
If I'm not mistaken, there are no time limits on abortion either.

Canada is lost. It’s shocking what has happened there in a short period of time.

The new world order to reduce population to anyone who’s dumb enough to blindly take it is in full force in Canada.

What is life to a people who celebrate death of children? Becomes inconvenient, kill it. They’re a warped people.

Notice she is one of those Canadians who've written off the US as a travel destination. She is boycotting the US.

hospitals are supposed to take care of you and apply medical attention as needed. Offering death seems to be the easy way out!

Good grief ... that is fricked up.

Fun fact: Bama's coach has won more playoff games in a single season than LSU has this entire decade. Yuge oof.

They probably get a bonus from their gubment for every person they put down.
If you're healthy enough they probably steal your organs too.

That's all of western civilization outside of the US actually. There is nowhere to run.
And while it is shocking the speed at which it happened, the WEF/globalist crowd told us for years what they were about to do and only people like Alex Jones took them seriously.
So I'm shocked at the speed, but not at the outcome and believe each of us here who have strong Christian faith and belief in the rights of the individual granted by God and the US constitution will face massive persecution and worse if the globalists domestically and in Europe arent defeated asap.
Its an existential zero sum game and half of the right doesn't seem to realize its even being played for reasons I can only chalk up to cognitive dissonance and a refusal to accept a reality that would cause them to actually have to do something about it.

Let me guess... An 84-year-old Canadian white woman?

At some age in life, Government Healthcare will simply notify the recipient that they are terminated from the rolls of those eligible for Govt-funded services and items, except for the Govt service of assisted suicide.
They will be informed that the best thing they can do for their fellow countrymen is to complete the assisted suicide procedure. The most disloyal and selfish thing they can do will be to decide to continue to live.
And then their bodies will be processed into Soylent Green, which is made out of people.

Crazy thing is just like a pelvic fx most sacral fractures are going to just hurt like hell in that population but then gradually improve over a few weeks.
Just have to keep moving a bit to not come down with something worse like a blood clot or pneumonia from being bedbound at that age.

When the government is the payor and underwriter, this is the natural result.

Yeah but we don’t have massive meltdowns and kill trees when we lose.
ETA: Also we don’t beat our sister wives.

So how do lsu fans cope with consistently being beaten by a program whose fans you think should be suicidal? It's a mixture of being retarded and constant drinking isn't it....

Canada has national health care and the whole country is going through an economic downturn. Inflation and unemployment are way up in the past year. Assisted suicide is a way to save money. They should have elected Poilievre.
