In September of last year, one solitary, unelected judge – Quebec Superior Court Justice Christine Baudouin – decreed the expansion of medical murder across our entire country. And our Prime Minister was perfectly happy to go along.

Does that seem right to you? How can one black-robed individual change the law for 37 million Canadians when our Constitution makes it clear that only elected Parliamentarians have the power to create law? And when you consider that Ms. Baudouin was appointed to her position three short years ago by Mr. Trudeau’s own government, something smells particularly rotten.

We are living in a day and age when the corruption of our democracy is taking place right under our noses. This Baudouin decision is merely one grotesque example. And now the Trudeau government plans to rubber stamp her radical ruling by means of Bill C-7, claiming they are merely obeying a court order.

How ludicrous!

Bill C-7 could pass at any time – as soon as Parliament gets back to some semblance of “normal” amid this COVID-19 situation. If it does pass, it will take us one step closer to the evil of euthanasia-on-demand. Under this expansion of so-called “MAiD” (Medical Assistance in Dying), Bill C-7 will make it legal for a doctor or nurse to euthanize persons with disabilities, chronic illness, or psychological conditions if those persons so choose – or if they are so persuaded by others.

Bill C-7 not only gives doctors and nurses the legal right to murder more of their hurting and vulnerable patients, it further erodes the sanctity and dignity of all human life. Bill C-7 seems to legitimize the fallacy that disabled and chronically ill Canadians experience “lives unworthy of life” – a truly devilish lie!

Nevertheless, this is precisely where Justice Baudouin has taken us. She ruled that Canada’s existing euthanasia law (an absolutely evil law in itself, enacted by the Trudeau government in 2016) is much too “restrictive”. That former law limits the practice of medical murder to those whose deaths are “reasonably foreseeable”. (In other words, they are expected to die naturally very soon).

Justice Baudouin struck down that “reasonably foreseeable” restriction and decreed that people have the right to “their choice to end their lives at the time and in the manner desired.” We are told that this must “remain an entirely personal decision.” The only real criterion is that a person must be experiencing “intolerable suffering” (whatever that means), and he or she must refuse all other options and treatments – even if those options and treatments are helpful and curative. In other words, you might otherwise live for years, a cure might be available, but you can be euthanized anyhow.

Bill C-7 will not only codify this liberal expansion of euthanasia into law, it will also loosen up some other restrictions and safeguards. Here is just a brief summary of the very worst of Bill C-7:

• A person can be euthanized who is NOT actually dying. This includes anyone living with a disability, illness, or disease that is treatable or even curable. The only criterion is that the person experiences “physical or psychological suffering that is intolerable” (whatever that means).
• A person whose death is “reasonably foreseeable” (whatever that means) can be euthanized immediately – on the spot. He/she will not be required to have any time to reconsider.
• Another person can sign your euthanasia request for you if you are unable to sign it yourself, with only one witness required. This is sure to lead to abuse.
• If you try to kill yourself with euthanasia drugs, and the drugs only knock you out, a nurse or doctor can finish you off. They are not obliged to help you live, recover, or reconsider.
• A person can be euthanized without asking for it if he/she is deemed “incapable of giving consent” (whatever that means) so long as he/she provided consent at some time in the past – even if it was years ago and even if there might have been a change of heart. These people will not be allowed to revoke their euthanasia decision.
• A person must not be euthanized if he/she demonstrates “by words, sounds or gestures” that he/she does not want a lethal drug. However, if the “words, sounds or gestures” are deemed “involuntary” (whatever that means), the person can still be euthanized. In other words, here is the perfect excuse to ignore a person’s objections.
• A person cannot be euthanized for a specific “mental illness”, but he/she may be euthanized if his/her “psychological suffering” is “intolerable to them” (whatever that means).
• A person only needs to be “informed of the means available to relieve their suffering.” However, he/she does not actually have to try out any of those life-affirming services before being euthanized.

Basically, Bill C-7 is a laundry list of excuses and exceptions that make it as easy as possible to kill and be killed. There is no doubt in my mind that this is merely a stepping stone to all-out euthanasia-on-demand.

We need your help to stop Bill C-7 before the Trudeau Liberals ram it through – which could happen very quickly when Parliament returns to “normal”. This homicidal and corrupt law, spawned by the ruling of a single Trudeau-appointed judge, must never see the light of day!

Please take a moment to visit our Action Alert Email page, where you will be able to send a pre-scripted email to your local Member of Parliament asking him or her to reject Bill C-7 when it comes up for a vote.

When MPs hear the voices of thousands of constituents speaking out, they will pay attention. And if we can raise a large enough chorus of life-affirming, humanity-loving voices to reject Bill C-7, with God’s help, we shall defeat it!

Please send an Action Alert Email today! And may God restore righteousness to our land.
