"Abandonment" Euthanasia in Canada
Canada’s euthanasia and assisted suicide programme has created “a system of structural abandonment” where loved ones are dying because of “unmet medical or social needs”, according to two members of the Chief Coroner of Ontario’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) Review Committee (MDRC).
Dr Ramona Coelho, a family medicine practitioner and adjunct research professor, and David Shannon, a Canadian lawyer and disability and human rights activist, published an expansive article criticising Canada’s euthanasia and assisted suicide programme based on their extensive experience as part of Ontario’s MDRC.
The two insiders said that “Canada’s experience with MAiD has become a cautionary tale of how legali[s]ed euthanasia and assisted suicide can erode into a system of structural abandonment”, to the extent that it has become the “default response to unresolved suffering driven by poverty, disability, mental illness, and social isolation”.
Euthanasia was first legalised in Canada in 2016 for those who may have had a reasonably foreseeable natural death as a result of a medical condition. This legislation was expanded in 2021 so that an individual’s death did not have to be reasonably foreseeable to access MAiD, known as Track 2.
Criticising the expansion of the eligibility criteria, Coelho and Shannon said “[N]early half of Track 2 MAiD deaths involved suffering from loneliness or isolation, while almost half indicated that they felt like they were a burden”.
“Ontario’s MAiD Death Review Committee (MDRC) found most Track 2 recipients were low-income and 61 per cent were women, a group statistically more likely to attempt suicide yet recover with care. Less than half received mental health or disability supports and less than 10 per cent received housing or income assistance”.
They added “MAiD providers have described ending lives where suffering due to poverty, loneliness, or obesity was driving the request for MAiD”.
Coelho and Shannon are calling for the abolition of Track 2, to “[r]emove the pathway for persons whose natural death is not reasonably foreseeable, including those with physical disabilities and mental illness”.

Doctors Rake in Abortion Blood Money
Doctors in Ireland are wallowing in blood money for butchering babies. They are receiving an average of €21,029 extra per year in taxpayers’ money for providing abortions, according to new data from the Irish Parliament.
Based on responses to Parliamentary Questions submitted by Independent Ireland leader Michael Collins, it has been revealed that doctors who were reimbursed for abortion consultations received an average of almost €430,000 per month of taxpayers’ money for abortion consultations from January to May 2025. Since an average of 245 doctors consulted on abortions each month, this would mean that, according to the new data from Parliament, each doctor would receive €21,029 on average per year for their role in facilitating abortions.
Dr Dermot Kearney, an Irish cardiologist, responded by calling the situation “a national disgrace”, whilst Eilís Mulroy, spokesperson of Pro Life Campaign, said “Many people will find it unseemly that abortion has become such a profitable activity, particularly given it’s subsidised by our taxes”.
“Many people in Ireland are making ends meet on an annual salary” of less than €21,029, she continued, whereas some doctors could receive this “as a top up on their regular income just for offering abortion pills. If there are negative consequences for the woman, the doctor simply refers them to a hospital”.
Mulroy reserved specific criticism for telemedicine home abortions, which were introduced during the pandemic “to allow for remote consultation”.
She said “With the advent of telemedicine, a GP doesn’t even have to have an in-person consultation with the woman. Instead, they can have a short phone call with the woman, make basic provisions for her to collect the mifepristone and misoprostol pills, and claim for €450”.
“All the money that’s being poured into the Irish abortion regime, which racks up tens of millions of euro[s], would be better served providing women in unplanned pregnancies with genuine supports”.
“Well in excess of €50 million in taxpayers’ money has been spent on abortion provision in Ireland since the new law took effect in January 2019”, Mulroy said.

NHS Cash for LGBT Events
The subversion of Britain with taxpayers' money continues apace. The NHS has come under fire for providing almost £2 million towards staff events, some of which promoted LGBT causes.
According to Freedom of Information requests from the TaxPayers’ Alliance (TPA), more than 1,000 events were held by a variety of staff networks at 80 trusts between 2022-24. Overall, £1,834,005.60 was given in funding, but it is unknown how much was spent.
NHS staff attended events including ‘Breaking the Rainbow Ceiling’ at the Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Trust, and ‘pride crafting’ at King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.
Joanna Marchong, Investigations Campaign Manager at TPA, said: “Taxpayers will be dismayed to see NHS trusts pouring more money into staff networks year after year, while waiting lists spiral and junior doctors strike over pay.”
An NHS spokesman stated: “Many staff events – including ones highlighted here – are run at no or very low cost, but where employers do invest in staff it is important that care is taken to ensure it represents good value for taxpayers’ money.”
In June, employees at County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust criticised a ‘Pride calendar’ distributed by the trust’s LGBT network. The 36-page booklet covered topics such as polyamory, drag and same-sex marriage.
One hospital female employee said: “Why should an individual’s sexuality or kinks be not only brought into the workplace but actively promoted and forced on staff? Following the Supreme Court ruling, it is incredibly insensitive and hostile to be trying to ‘educate’ staff on these issues.”
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service has also come under criticism for spending £458,121 on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) roles since 2023. In addition, £8,937 was spent on membership to Stonewall’s controversial ‘Diversity Champions’ scheme.

Edinburgh 'Shooting Gallery' Meets Resistance
Proposals for a drug consumption rooms in Edinburgh have been met with backlash, with MSPs calling it the ‘wrong approach’.
The sites, proposed by the city’s Integration Joint Board (IJB), are located in Edinburgh Old Town; on the Cowgate and on Spittal Street. They were chosen for their proximity to areas with a high concentration of drug-related deaths.
The first experimental drug consumption room, Glasgow’s The Thistle, is a Scottish Government-funded shooting gallery open seven days a week, and has effectively been declared a ‘prosecution-free drug zone’ by the Lord Advocate. It is still in its pilot stage.
A consultation will be held, likely early next year, for locals to have their say on the proposals. Christine Laverty, the IJB’s Chief Officer, noted: “Such a public consultation will attract substantial attention and raise both hopes and fears within different communities.”
Sue Webber, MSP for Lothian, wrote in the Edinburgh News criticising the proposals as “spending unknown amounts of public money on something to make it easier for addicts to stay hooked.”
She continued: “What they need is rehab to get them off drugs, not the means to keep them in a stupor.”
Annie Wells MSP posted on X: “State-sponsored drug use isn’t the answer. After Glasgow’s experience, another drug consumption room in Edinburgh is the wrong approach. SNP must focus on prevention at the source and back our Right to Recovery Bill.”

Vatican Celebrates LGBT, Snubs SSPX
The Vatican continues to officially recognize the pilgrimage of pro-LGBTQ groups on its Jubilee website, even after it dropped a reference to the pilgrimage of the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX).
The Vatican’s Jubilee 2025 website currently lists on its calendar the Pilgrimage of “La Tenda di Gionata” (“The Tent of Jonathan”), a heterodox Italian LGBTQ group that has claimed that Scripture does not condemn homosexual relationships.
The pilgrims will be joined for Jubilee events by Outreach, a pro-LGBTQ group founded by the dissident Father James Martin, SJ, according to the organization’s website. According to the Outreach website, these events “are an official part of the Jubilee celebrations.”
A program detailing the pilgrimage’s concluding Jubilee events in Rome, shared by Disclose.tv, shows the events will kick off on September 5 with the “international meeting” entitled “Listen to the experiences of LGBTQ Catholics.” That evening, a “rainbow cross” will be presented during a prayer vigil at the Piazza del Gesù in Rome by “ a group of LGBT + pilgrims and their parents.”
The pilgrimage wraps up at St. Peter’s Square, where the pilgrims will join Pope Leo XIV for the Angelus. According to The Pillar, the LGBT events are supported by the Italian bishops’ conference as well as the Society of Jesus, the Jesuits.
While a spokesperson previously claimed the events’ listing on the Vatican Jubilee website did not indicate Vatican endorsement, the recent removal of a reference to the SSPX Jubilee pilgrimage seems to indicate that it is in fact a tacit endorsement of the LGBTQ group.

Scottish Birth Rate Slumps
18,710 babies were aborted in Scotland last year, the highest on record according to Public Health Scotland. The abortion rate per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44 rose to 17.9. Meanwhile, the birth rate has slumped to the lowest since records began. The Scots are eliminating themselves!
According to new data from the National Records of Scotland, a mere 45,763 live births were registered in 2024, 172 fewer than in 2023. This is the lowest birth rate since 1855, marking yet another decrease in the country’s fertility rate from 1.27 to 1.25. 1855, by the way, is when records first began to be kept.
As the BBC put it: “The NRS said that for a population to replace itself, if there is no migration, the total fertility rate needed to be around 2.1. It said the overall numbers reflected ‘long-term changes in our population.’” But there seems to be little interest in discussing what those “long-term changes” mean if these trends continue, as it seems likely that they will. Keep in mind that these changes are happening even as the stillbirth rate is also the lowest recorded, and the infant death rate fell to 3.5 per thousand live births.
The report included a few other grim statistics, as well. In 2024, there were 16,528 more deaths in Scotland than births. Scotland has now had more deaths than births each year for a decade. Fifty years ago, most women had babies in their 20s. Now, for the past 15 years, most babies are born to mothers over thirty. Over half of babies—51.7%—were born out of wedlock.
Meanwhile, Scotland—like the rest of the United Kingdom—actually funds, with taxpayer money, both abortion and birth control. It is difficult to conceive of a more suicidal social policy than paying for the elimination and prevention of the next generation, but it is unquestioned and unquestionable political orthodoxy that to do so is a necessity. Why? Because in practice, fewer children appears to have been the de facto goal of successive governments for a very long time, despite all their garbled noises to the contrary.

Euthanasia Plan for Disabled Babies
The anti-human spirit of this Godless age grows stronger and more evil by the day. Doctors in Canada have said euthanasia for newborn babies who are born with disabilities “may be an appropriate treatment”, as concerns grow about the expansion of Canada’s euthanasia and assisted suicide programme.
Speaking on behalf of the Quebec College of Physicians (CMQ) to the Special Joint Committee on Medical Assistance in Dying, Dr Louis Roy previously recommended that euthanasia be introduced for babies with “severe deformations” and “very grave… medical syndromes”. Earlier this week, the CMQ reiterated their position.
The CMQ added that, under these circumstances, the deliberate ending of a child’s life constitutes “care”.
The proposal has prompted severe criticism, with Wesley J. Smith, a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute’s Center on Human Exceptionalism, saying “Canada has jumped so enthusiastically into the euthanasia abyss that I have little doubt that infanticide will eventually be allowed there. It’s only logical. If killing is an acceptable answer to suffering, why limit the killing to adults?”.
The proposal comes as Canada’s euthanasia and assisted suicide programme continues to expand. In 2021, the Canadian Parliament repealed the requirement that the natural death of those applying for assisted suicide be “reasonably foreseeable”. This took place only five years after the original legislation allowing euthanasia and assisted suicide was passed in 2016.
In 2024, legislation was introduced so that euthanasia and assisted suicide would be legal on the grounds of mental health alone in March 2027, whilst a Parliamentary committee in Canada recommended in 2023 that euthanasia be made available for children under certain conditions, and that it be made more easily available for prisoners.
If the CMQ recommendations on euthanasia for disabled babies are accepted, Canada would join the Netherlands, where euthanasia is permitted for babies before the age of one if they are thought to be suffering unbearably and with the consent of their parents. The Atlantic noted that the Netherlands was the first country to adopt the practice of euthanasia for babies “since Nazi Germany did so in 1939”.

Drugs Curse in Dublin Primary Schools
The curse of drugs has reached Irish children. Drug dealing is taking place in some of Dublin’s primary schools, a study has revealed.
Blanchardstown Local Drugs & Alcohol Task Force (BLDATF), a community group which has been monitoring drug trends in the D15 postal district since 2014, said that 2023 was the first year drug dealing in local primary schools had been reported.
At the beginning of last year, the Citizens’ Assembly on Drug Use called for the wholesale liberalisation of laws on the possession of dangerous drugs, including cocaine, cannabis, heroin, and opioids.
The task force said that drug dealing was reported in “a number” of local primary schools, but declined to reveal exactly how many “to uphold confidentiality”.
These schools, it observed, were based in a mixture of affluent and socio-economically deprived areas, “indicating that drug dealing is a community wide issue that crosses all socio-economic boundaries”.
It continued: “The profile of primary school-based drug users includes males and females aged from 11 years, with cannabis herb, cannabis oil and nitrous oxide being used during school.”
In 2023, according to BLDATF, drug dealing took place in all eleven mainstream local secondary schools and drug use among pupils is increasing.
BLDAFT also noted that “the normalisation of drug use has featured prominently” since monitoring began. It added: “The common perception was that alcohol and drugs were widely used, risk free and socially acceptable.”

Sudden Deaths Soar Among Airline Pilots
“Something happened in 2021” that has jeopardized air travel safety, according to a disturbing report by Dr. Kevin Stillwagon, a retired airline pilot and immunology expert.
Mounting evidence points to the COVID-19 vaccinations that airlines, acting under pressure from the U.S. government, mandated or otherwise coerced their cockpit, cabin, and ground crews into taking.
Since 2021, there has been a marked increase in deaths of “younger” airline pilots while long-term disabilities for pilots have skyrocketed. All of this has been accompanied by an astronomical increase of near-miss incidents at the nation’s airports.
“Incapacitations of pilots are definitely increasing, especially in younger pilots,” Stillwagon said in a video discussion with Nicolas Hulscher, an epidemiologist and administrator at the McCullough Foundation.
“There was a 40% increase in pilots dying early – before mandatory retirement age of 65 – in 2021,” Stillwagon said.
“Starting in 2021, pilot long-term disabilities have tripled,” he noted. “Prior to 2021, there was only one near-miss at the Washington National Airport (DCA). But after 2021, there were 28 near-misses per year.”
Stillwagon maintains that from the outset, the mRNA COVID-19 shots were illegally forced upon the nation’s airline pilots.
“They were illegal because you cannot put an experimental product into a pilot, as found in the ‘Aeromedical Advice Manual,’ given to all aeromedical examiners,” he pointed out.
Commercial pilots are legally prohibited from taking experimental medicines and face losing their medical certification for taking anything other than FAA-approved drugs.

UK Culture Secretary in Trans Row
The UK Culture Secretary has sparked a major row by wearing a t-shirt with a controversial slogan promoting transgender ideology.
Lisa Nandy attended the ‘Pride’ march in her constituency of Wigan wearing a top with the words “protect the dolls” on it. ‘Doll’ is a slang term referring to certain men who identify as female.
Nandy’s actions sparked widespread criticism, with Fiona McAnena, Director of Campaigns at women’s rights charity Sex Matters, commenting: “No elected representative of the public – let alone a government minister – should be promoting the slogan of campaigners who are calling for men to be able to identify into any space for women, even those needed most such as toilets, changing rooms, refuges and prisons.
“The Secretary of State with responsibility for civil society should know better than to align with a movement which calls for the law to be flouted. This is naive at best.”
LabourLGB, a group that campaigns for LGB rights, wrote to Nandy stating: “you hold a position of great responsibility and influence and should be setting the standard for upholding the law as it has now been clarified by the Supreme Court. It is important that you wield that influence with complete impartiality, not favouring one tiny minority group over the rights of all others.”
Women’s Rights Network – Greater Manchester posted on social media: “it would appear that her priorities are not the protection of women & girls in line with the Supreme Court but those that seek to break the law”.
