[Right now, Romanson said, #DentalCare for many #disabled people only happens in case of emergency.
"A lot of times, it's a one-off. A person comes in, they will have a need for infection control or gum disease or they're going to have a tooth that needs to come out, and that's it. There's no other plan. It's sort of a piecemeal thing," he said.]

I won’t pretend it’s easy, but surely this is one problem that can be fixed, even if it requires a heavy hand. #Healthcare #CanadaHealth

I don't understand the shock on display at Canadian Justice Minister David Lametti.

> In a recent interview for the Star’s “It’s Political” podcast, Lametti conflated medical assistance in dying (MAID) and suicide. After I expressed reservations about the expansion of MAID in March to people with mental illness without adequate social and medical supports, Lametti told me to “remember that suicide generally is available to people. This is a group within the population who, for physical reasons and possibly mental reasons, can’t make that choice themselves to do it themselves. And ultimately, this provides a more humane way for them to make a decision they otherwise could have made if they were able in some other way.”

This conflation of suicide and MAID is only shocking if you aren't paying attention to the eugenics intertwined into Canada.

"Four — perhaps even five — Canadian military veterans were given the option of medically-assisted death (MAID) by a now-suspended Veterans Affairs Canada caseworker, the country's veterans minister told a House of Commons committee late Thursday.

Veterans Minister MacAulay apologizes: "I am sorry you had to endure these appalling interactions, and we're doing everything we can to ensure this never happens again."
