So it’s interesting that a lefty government has managed to enact a policy that is arguably too lefty for even them. At the very least, it’s the wrong sort of lefty.

See, Canada has MAiD, which is basically an assisted suicide law. In theory, it’s supposed to allow people to end their lives with dignity when faced with chronic illnesses. Not just terminal illnesses, mind you, but chronic ones which doesn’t necessarily mean it’ll kill you.

I get why some would want to take their own life due to a terminal condition, but just something that’s simply chronic? That seems a little extreme, but it gets worse. You see, MAiD has become a key point in Canada’s healthcare system. It’s even been floated as the solution to homelessness.

Why is Jacobin upset? Because someone who writes there realized that it’s being used as a cost-saving method for the nation’s healthcare system.
