Poison seller Kenneth Law pleads guilty to counselling or aiding su***de, in connection with 14 deaths in Ontario. Law operated websites that sold toxic substances and su***de paraphernalia.

Summary:
➡️ Mississauga, Ont., man Kenneth Law pleaded guilty in a Newmarket court today to counselling or aiding 14 su***des in the province.
➡️ Law operated websites that sold packets of a toxic substance and other su***de paraphernalia to vulnerable people. ➡️ Court today heard a list of some 40 countries Law shipped more than 1,200 packages to, while a CBC News investigation has found Law is suspected of being tied to at least 147 deaths worldwide.
➡️ Crown prosecutors said today they were withdrawing all 14 murder charges laid against Law.
➡️ In the U.K., investigators said Law will not face charges for his alleged role in scores of deaths there.
➡️ At least one family in Canada says they're livid that Law avoided murder charges, while U.K. families are angry over the decision not to charge him in that country.

Kenneth Law is rightly being condemned for assisting in the death of vulnerable people. Yet Canada is increasingly offering euthanasia to people experiencing suffering, disability, or despair. If we recognize that these lives had value and were worth protecting, we should ask why one form of assisted death is treated as a crime while another is treated as compassion?

Imagine the horror!!!

Canadian Man Declared “Dead” Wakes Up After Botched Euthanasia

"After having been pronounced dead, a patient woke up after a botched euthanasia attempt, leading to his doctor being placed under supervision by the province’s physicians’ regulator due to repeated failures to adhere to protocols and procedures.

Dr James MacLean was the subject of two complaints relating to two cases involving Canada’s euthanasia and assisted su***de regime, known as Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD).

In one case, one of MacLean’s patients who wished to end their life resumed breathing after being declared dead due to the improper application of the fatal mix of substances. MacLean gave a 67-year-old cancer patient an anaesthetic, rather than the neuromuscular-blocking medication normally used in euthanasia cases, because he could not find where he had put it.

The doctor pronounced the patient, who has not been named, dead; however, shortly after he left the patient’s home, he resumed breathing. MacLean returned to the patient’s home, gave him additional substances, including the neuromuscular-blocking medication, and shortly thereafter pronounced him dead for the second time..."

Imagine the horror experienced by the patient, the family, and everyone involved.

Talk about doublespeak. Abortion advocates insist the abortion pill is “safe,” while also admitting that misoprostol-only abortions “could cause more complications than the combination regimen.”

Tell that to the two young 🇨🇦 Canadian women who died in January and July 2022 after taking the abortion pill, or to the Nova Scotia woman who suffered excessive bleeding following a medication abortion.

Women deserve the truth about the risks.

Inclusion Canada and dozens of other disability and mental health organizations are calling on Ottawa to call off a planned expansion of access to medical assistance in dying next year.

A family doctor assessed an Ontario man for medical assistance in dying outside a Tim Hortons coffee shop and later drove him to a funeral establishment where he administered a lethal injection two hours later.

According to a regulatory investigation, Dr. James MacLean faced complaints after using MAiD to kill Thomas Dillon, 45, who suffered from long-term Crohn’s disease along with depression, social isolation and a history of alcohol abuse.

There is no record of MacLean offering any legitimate medical or mental health support.

Canada’s MAiD regime continues to raise difficult questions about safeguards, vulnerability, and whether people in crisis are being offered enough hope, care, and meaningful alternatives.

MAiD hurts everyone left behind.

At the National , Benjamin Turland shared the painful experience of losing both of his grandmothers to euthanasia.

“The message that it sent to me was:
Did I not love you enough?
Did I not love you the correct way?
Do you feel like a burden around me?”

His testimony is a reminder that assisted death affects more than one person — families and loved ones carry the impact too.

One week after the National , we look back with gratitude on the thousands of Canadians who came out to defend the sanctity of life. Thank you to the Knights of Columbus who generously sponsored this year’s March and who do so much pro-life and pro-family charitable work in our country!

British Columbia () joins Quebec and Saskatchewan in allowing midwives to prescribe the abortion pill.

The abortion pill is not without risks. Reported side effects and complications can include severe cramping, contractions, heavy bleeding, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headaches, and even death.

This development raises concerns about the changing role of midwifery.

Midwives have long been associated with walking alongside women through pregnancy, childbirth, and caring for both mother and baby. Their tradition has been rooted in supporting life, offering compassion, and accompanying families through one of life’s most significant moments.

This raises an important question: when a profession historically centred on caring for women and their babies becomes involved in killing babies and harming women, why move away from its traditional mission?

Women deserve real support, practical help, and compassionate care — especially in difficult circumstances. Midwifery has long represented being present for both mother and child. That vision is worth protecting.

A 26-year-old Australian woman with a rare terminal illness has announced she plans to end her own life through assisted dying, reigniting debate over euthanasia laws and the growing international push to expand access to assisted su***de. Annaliese “Annie” Holland, from Australia, suffers from Autoimmune Autonomic Ganglionopathy (AAG), a rare neurological disorder in which the immune system attacks the body’s autonomic nervous system. The disease affects essential bodily functions including digestion, blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing. Holland explained that her condition has left her in constant pain, with failing organs, recurring sepsis infections, and severe physical deterioration. She has reportedly survived sepsis 25 times and now says she no longer recognises herself. “This isn’t me just choosing to end it,” she said. “I’m going to die anyway. It’s just me choosing when and how.” Holland admitted she is “petrified” of dying but said she has reached a point where she cannot continue enduring the suffering caused by her illness. She said she drew inspiration from a friend with the same condition who previously underwent assisted death. The case has quickly become another focal point in the international assisted su***de debate, as countries around the world continue to liberalise euthanasia laws. Australia has increasingly expanded access to voluntary assisted dying in recent years, while similar debates continue in Britain, France, and elsewhere. Holland has been assigned a palliative care specialist, Dr Chloe Furst, who is shepherding her through the assisted su***de process and oversee her eventual death. She argued that letting life take its natural course is society “prolong[ing] suffering.” Emotionally charged stories risk obscuring the wider dangers of normalising assisted su***de, particularly as eligibility criteria continue to broaden internationally. In countries such as Canada, the death lobby’s laws have rapidly expanded beyond terminal illness to include people suffering from chronic conditions and mental health issues. Speaking on the matter, SPUC CEO John Deighan said: “While Holland’s suffering is undeniably tragic, to kill such a young woman, especially one crippled by fear, is negligent and evil for the Australian state. Annie Holland needs better palliative care, not so-called palliative care doctors acting as death doulas. At such a young age her life should not be cut short. She has overcome milestones and defeated the odds before; the despairing choice of su***de cuts these great miracles short.” “Australia’s treatment of this young and vulnerable woman should be noticed the world over. Assisted su***de cannot be allowed in Great Britain.”
