| S03 E22 | On the cusp of the 10th anniversary of MAiD in Canada, and as our country prepares to expand Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) to cases where mental illness is the sole underlying condition, important questions remain about safeguards, mental health care, physician conscience rights, and the protection of vulnerable people. In this final episode of Season 3, Deacon Eric Gurash and Dr. Brett Salkeld welcome Larry Worthen of the Christian Medical and Dental Association of Canada for a conversation about the future of MAID, the challenges facing patients and physicians, and the Christian call to accompany those who suffer with dignity, compassion, and hope. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 01:02 Tour Stories 02:40 MAID Expansion Explained 05:26 Legal Origins and Slippery Slope 09:03 Burden and Human Dignity 11:00 From Burden to Infanticide 15:08 Conscience Rights and Doctor Duties 17:24 MAID as "Treatment" 18:30 Real Cases and Warnings 20:09 Safeguards Always Fail 22:09 Normalize Suicide Agenda 23:34 Doctor Shopping Loopholes 24:51 Keanu Case Explained 26:57 Care Wait Times Crisis 28:24 Palliative Care Underserved 30:13 Suicide Line After Expansion 33:54 Church Response 39:11 Dying Well 42:40 Final Blessing Farewell
Starve the Beast The world is crazy - full of poop reports, studies on how governments can save money by killing citizens, and sky-high valuations in the stock market. It's wonderful to hear good news in times like this, where there is someone willing to sue Google and US Government for censorship and defamation or where Rep Anna Paulina Luna is trying to prevent more lobbying for foreign governments' best interests. Today we talk about the positive and negative stories happening around the world. The beast that wants to control us believes they will never be held accountable for their actions. The pentagon has failed its 8th consecutive audit, but there is no punishment for them. Those from the Epstein list that hurt children have not been punished yet. If we don't like the actions of the beast, the best thing we can do is to starve the beast.

In the second episode of this series on the potential impact of any Assisted Dying Bill (Episode 1 here), Dr Liz Evans and Amanda Hunter are joined by Dr Carol Davis (appearing in the transcript as Carol Bowden), a recently retired Consultant in Palliative Medicine, and Angelina Ireland, the Executive Director of the Delta Hospice Society in Canada, to discuss Assisted Dying and its profound implications for Palliative Care across the UK if introduced.The panel discuss the danger to the public and society of introducing assisted dying into an already imploding healthcare system in the UK, as Angelina Ireland shares stories of the terrifying realities of euthanasia in Canada.The UK's Palliative Care and NHS CrisisBypassing Scrutiny: After the previous Leadbetter Assisted Dying Bill ran out of time due to extensive House of Lords amendments, sponsors are attempting to return the bill to Parliament with a new, identical Private Member's Bill, and threatening to force it through without Lords' approval, by an unprecedented use of the Parliament Acts.A Broken NHS: Assisted Suicide is being pushed forward against the backdrop of an NHS in crisis, which currently faces a 7-million-person waiting list, including over 1 million terminally ill individuals waiting for appointments.Hospice Underfunding: Palliative care is facing a severe funding crisis. In the last year alone, 380 UK hospice beds have closed, community specialist nurse visits dropped by 150,000, and two-thirds of hospices are operating in a financial deficit.Impact on the Working Class: Amanda Hunter emphasises that this legislation poses the greatest threat to the working class, who completely rely on the NHS and cannot simply buy private treatment or care like the middle class can.Palliative Care vs. Assisted Dying: Common MisconceptionsPublic Confusion: Surveys show significant public misunderstanding. Less than half of the public correctly recognise that assisted dying means administering lethal drugs with the deliberate intent to cause death, with many confusing it with normal hospice care of the dying in alleviating symptoms, or stopping life-sustaining treatment.The Goal of Palliative Care: Palliative care is holistic and is aimed at helping a person live as well as possible until they die Along with psychological and spiritual support it usesthe lowest possible doses of medication and non-drug measures to ease symptoms and distress.The Goal of Assisted Dying: Assisted dying utilises high, lethal doses of a toxic drug cocktail with the explicit and immediate intent to end the patient's life.The Warning from Canada: A Dystopian RealityThe Slippery Slope: Angelina Ireland shares Canada's harrowing trajectory with Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) since it was legalised in 2016. Originally introduced strictly for terminally ill patients, the criteria quickly loosened to target vulnerable populations, including the poor, the old, the disabled, and the homeless.State Expropriation of Assets: When the Delta Hospice Society refused to participate in or host MAID on its premises, due to its commitment to traditional palliative principles and conscientious objection to euthanasia, the Canadian government stripped its funding, cancelled its land lease, and seized its privately fundraised $8 million facility without a single penny of compensation.Hospices as Sanctuaries; Angelina reminded us that the word hospice means sanctuary and that vulnerable patients who are at the end of life must be protected from the threat of MAID by being able to access hospices that do not allow MAID on their premises.Erosion of Trust: The normalisation of MAID by medical associations has severely damaged the sacred trust between doctors and patients, fostering widespread fear of hospitals and the healthcare system.Final ThoughtsThe panel warned the UK in the strongest terms against opening Pandora's box by passing this deeply flawed and unsafe bill. The true, compassionate solution to end-of-life suffering is not to introduce state-sanctioned killing into healthcare, but to protect the legacy of medicine, by putting in adequate funding to provide high-quality specialist palliative care to everyone.UKMFA: CALL TO ACTION: Please follow us and subscribe on our YouTube and Rumble channels and please share our content on social media and with friends and family, to help us get the message out and increase our reach.All our podcasts can also be found on the major audio platforms e.g. Apple and Spotify.Our Substack is found here: https://substack.com/@ukmfa1We are grateful for all donations to help us to continue and grow our work; lobbying decision makers; educating and empowering the public; running campaigns and producing our podcasts.

In this episode of Rector's Cupboard, Allison, Amanda, and Ken sit down for a thoughtful and deeply human conversation about MAID — Medical Assistance in Dying in Canada. Drawing on Ken's work as a Spiritual Health Practitioner at Lions Gate Hospital, we explore what MAID actually is, how the process works, and why it remains such a difficult and emotional topic for many people, especially within faith communities. Along the way, we talk about suffering, grief, agency, palliative care, and what it means to accompany people through death with compassion and dignity. Ken shares stories from his work with patients and families navigating end-of-life decisions, reflecting on the sacredness, tension, and beauty that can exist even in the hardest moments. This isn't a debate episode or an attempt to land on easy answers. Instead, it's an honest conversation about mortality, care, faith, and how we show up for one another when life becomes fragile.

Welcome to Day 2856 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – When Death Becomes Policy: How Christians Must Respond to a Dehumanizing System. Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2856 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2856 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Our current series of Theology Thursday lessons is written by theologian and teacher John Daniels. I have found that his lessons are short, easy to understand, doctrinally sound, and applicable to all who desire to learn more of God's Word. John's lessons can be found on his website theologyinfive.com. Today's lesson is titled: When Death Becomes Policy: How Christians Must Respond to a Dehumanizing System. The biblical view of human life begins with the most foundational truth in Scripture: “God created man in His own image” (Genesis 1 verse twenty-seven). Unlike the surrounding cultures of the ancient Near East, where only kings reflected divinity, Israel declared that every human being bore the image of Yahweh. This principle shaped the covenant people's moral and legal systems. The Law commanded care for the widow, the orphan, and the foreigner. It forbade the sacrifice of children. Justice was not a privilege for the strong. It was a duty toward the weak. The prophets reinforced this ethic repeatedly. Isaiah, Amos, Jeremiah, and Micah rebuked rulers not merely for idol worship, but for oppressing the poor, neglecting the sick, and perverting justice. Human life was sacred not because of economic output, but because it belonged to the Creator. The first segment is: Jesus and the Early Church Jesus expanded and embodied this ethic perfectly. He healed the sick, welcomed the outcast, and affirmed the dignity of the forgotten. He did not divide people by status or function. He saw them as lost sheep, image-bearers in need of restoration. This was not sentiment. It was theology in action. The early Church followed His example with startling results. In a Roman culture where the disabled were abandoned, the elderly discarded, and infants exposed to die, Christians responded with radical mercy. They rescued infants from trash heaps. They nursed the sick during plagues, often at the cost of their own lives. And most notably, they created something the world had never seen before: the hospital. The first true hospital was founded in the late fourth century by St. Basil the Great in Caesarea, Cappadocia. The Basilias was a large complex that included housing for the poor, medical treatment for the sick, and care for lepers. It was not a tool of state power or military strategy, but a direct expression of Christian love for those society rejected. Basil believed that if Christ healed the broken, then His followers must do the same. Other Christians followed his lead. St. Fabiola in Rome founded one of the first hospitals in the West. Monasteries across Europe established infirmaries, not only for monks, but for pilgrims, travelers, beggars, and the dying. The very word hospital comes from hospitalis, Latin for “guest,” reflecting the belief that in caring for the sick, Christians were receiving Christ Himself. This was revolutionary. The Greco-Roman world had temples for the healthy and private physicians for the elite, but no institutions devoted to caring for the poor and dying until Christians built them. Their actions were not driven by utility. They were driven by conviction: life matters because it is made by God, seen by Christ, and destined for eternity. That is the root. That is the legacy. And when modern systems again begin to measure lives by what they cost instead of what they are, Christians must not be silent. They must remember who they are. The second segment is: Hospice Is Not the Enemy It is important to be clear: this is not an argument against hospice or genuine palliative care. Hospice reflects the biblical ethic of compassion. It affirms that life has value even in suffering, and that dignity is preserved not by hastening death, but by honoring a person's final days with comfort and presence. The danger arises when that sacred view of life is replaced by a cold calculation. Instead of seeing the end of life as a transition, society begins to treat it as a solution to systemic and financial problems. When the vulnerable are seen as obstacles, death becomes a policy tool, and compassion is used to justify elimination. The third segment is: A Troubling Shift in Canada Nowhere is this more visible than in Canada. What began as Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) for those suffering from unbearable physical pain has quickly expanded into something far broader. In 2016, just over 1,000 Canadians ended their lives through MAiD. By 2022, that number had surged to over 13,000. It is now reportedly the sixth leading cause of death in the country. Even more troubling is who is now eligible. Increasingly, MAiD is offered not to those with terminal illness, but to those who are poor, mentally ill, or socially isolated. Some have requested euthanasia because they cannot afford housing or support services. Others have been told that medical treatment is not available, but MAiD is. Doctors have reported being pressured to bring up euthanasia as an option, even in cases where it would never have been considered before. And some policy experts have openly acknowledged that the healthcare system is overloaded and needs a centralized solution. Quietly, and without ever officially declaring it, death is being presented as that solution. The fourth segment is: Death as an Economic Decision One of the most disturbing elements of Canada's MAiD system is how these deaths are recorded. In several provinces, including British Columbia and Ontario, official guidance instructs physicians to list the person's underlying illness or condition as the cause of death, even when the immediate act involved a medically administered lethal substance. This is not a clerical oversight. In British Columbia, the College of Physicians and Surgeons directs providers to list MAiD in Part I(a) of the Medical Certificate of Death, but the manner of death is still to be recorded as “natural.” The underlying illness remains the official cause. In Ontario, physicians providing MAiD are required to notify the Office of the Chief Coroner, and the death certificate process generally follows similar lines, emphasizing the condition rather than the procedure. At the federal level, Health Canada's monitoring and reporting system collects MAiD data separately, but the death certificates provided to families and registered in provincial statistics are shaped by these regional protocols. In public datasets and vital statistics, a MAiD death may appear indistinguishable from a natural death. The effect is not only statistical. It reframes euthanasia as a quiet extension of medical care, rather than a deliberate, policy-driven act of ending life. This framing can soften moral and public resistance, making it easier to expand eligibility without backlash. The fifth segment is: When Consent Looks Like Coercion While MAiD is legally defined as voluntary, the real-world conditions under which many of these decisions are made raise serious ethical concerns. Patients have increasingly reported seeking MAiD due to poverty, homelessness, mental illness, or chronic but non-terminal suffering. When essential care is delayed or denied, and when death is positioned as the one guaranteed option, consent begins to look less like a choice and more like surrender. In 2022, a Canadian Forces veteran suffering from PTSD and a traumatic brain injury approached Veterans Affairs for help. Instead of receiving mental health support, he was offered MAiD. A woman named Denise, suffering from multiple chemical sensitivities, chose MAiD because she could not find safe housing. She was not terminally ill, but her pleas for accommodation went unanswered. A man with a degenerative brain condition applied for MAiD after struggling to get the in-home care he needed. His doctor admitted that with proper support, he would not have sought death. A 51-year-old woman with long COVID applied due to unrelenting pain and fatigue. She said she would have preferred to live, but her condition had become intolerable without treatment options. Roger Foley, a man with a neurological condition, recorded hospital staff suggesting assisted death would cost less than long-term care. A woman with scoliosis and fibromyalgia applied after she could no longer afford her medications. Poverty, not disease, drove her request. A homeless man in Ontario with schizophrenia requested MAiD, saying he could not bear another...

Many leaders today are being drawn into end-of-life conversations they were never trained to navigate. In this episode, Ron Huntley sits down with David Maginley—psychospiritual specialist, hospital chaplain and author of Early Exits—to explore what's really happening beneath requests for medical assistance in dying.
Author Theresa Evans of Sturgeon Bay discusses important end of life issues around her support of her mother in experiencing Assisted Death. "Choosing to Die: A Daughter's Story Of Supporting Her Mother's End Of Life Through Assisted Death," is about the journey her family took once her mother decided to define the date and terms of her death in the context of a small southwestern Ontario town. Medical Assistance in Dying, or MAID, has been legal in Canada since 2016. By 2023, over 60,000 Canadians had chosen to die this way. By contrast, the United States has some of the most restrictive laws in the world around MAID. Canada allows a physician to administer the medications that will end a human life, often intravenously. However, in the US, one must be able to ingest the medication on their own, which can add additional stress and danger. For example, what if a person can't swallow, or if they vomit back the medication? What if because of the difficulties they face in attempting to die on their own, they lapse into a coma and don't die? Evans maps out what a more compassionate, patient-empowering approach in the US could mean. Presented like a journal, Evans uses the metaphor of her mother's garden to powerful effect. Choosing to Die describes the author's vivid first hand experience, and is useful for caregivers, death doulas, and other professionals and volunteers involved in hospice care and palliative care. Mos of all, Choosing to Die is a gift for anyone seeking clarity and compassion in the midst of one of life's most confounding decisions.

In the past week, discussions around Ozempic and weight loss drugs have intensified, blending policy debates with celebrity health rumors. Minnesota lawmakers grappled with costs in the House Health Finance and Policy Committee, where a bill, HF4142, sponsored by Representative something, aimed to prohibit Medical Assistance coverage for prescription drugs used solely for weight loss like Ozempic. The measure was laid over, sparking questions on whether funding these medications saves money long-term by preventing obesity-related illnesses. According to the Minnesota House Session Daily report from late March 2026, supporters argued that covering such drugs now could reduce future expenses for comorbidities stemming from obesity.Oprah Winfrey remains at the center of Ozempic-related chatter, with fresh rumors about so-called Ozempic feet resurfacing after her appearances at Paris Fashion Week earlier this month. Nicki Swift reports that videos from the event showed Winfrey walking with slow, short steps, prompting online speculation that the GLP-1 drug, which she has used for weight management, weakened her muscles and caused sagging, veiny skin on her feet. Observers on X noted her frail gait at Stella McCartneys fashion show, dubbing it an Ozempic-induced shuffle similar to what others experience. Winfrey has not confirmed using Ozempic specifically but has praised GLP-1 medications openly. In past statements recalled amid this buzz, she described realizing thin people do not rely solely on willpower, as the drugs curb constant food thoughts, helping her maintain steady weight without yo-yoing.These side effects highlight risks of rapid weight loss, including premature aging appearances in areas like the neck and feet, as noted by experts analyzing similar cases with celebrities like Sharon Osbourne. Despite this, Winfrey expressed satisfaction with the tools impact on her life.Thanks for tuning in, listeners.

It's Wednesday, March 25th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Timothy Reed Canadian law prohibits Christian public officials from wearing crosses The Supreme Court of Canada began hearings in a case involving religious freedom this week. At issue is Quebec's Bill 21. The secularist law bans public officials from displaying religious symbols. For example, it would bar judges from wearing crosses. The measure has been in place in the Canadian province since 2019 and has survived multiple challenges. Derek Ross, executive director of the Christian Legal Fellowship, said, “Bill 21 purports to be advancing religious neutrality, but it is promoting the exact opposite: a public square which is hostile, not neutral, toward religion. This is unacceptable.” Canada euthanizes more humans than dogs in shelters Euthanasia continues to skyrocket in Canada. Tragically, more humans than dogs in shelters are being euthanized in the country, and it's not even close. More than 5% of all deaths in the country are attributed to Medical Assistance in Dying. And it's the fifth leading cause of death in Canada. Doctors regularly offer and push for euthanasia, even for those who are not terminally ill. Wesley Smith, writing for the National Review, reports that 16,000 Canadians were killed by euthanasia in 2025. According to the Canadian Veterinary Journal, nearly 7,000 Canadian dogs in shelters are euthanized annually. The New American reports that, “In Ontario alone, 219 people received Medical Assistance in Dying within a day of requesting it in 2023, with 30% dying the same day.” Proverbs 8:35 speaks of wisdom: “For whoever finds me finds life, and obtains favor from the Lord; but he who sins against me wrongs his own soul; all those who hate me love death.” Canadian young people are more open to Christianity Here's some good news from Canada. Young people there may be more open to religion, according to a new report supported by the Canadian Bible Society. Notably, the decline of religiosity among Canadians aged 18-34 appears to be stalling. Young adults are just as likely if not more likely to read a religious text or attend religious services compared to 2017. The study said, “This paper offers Canadian churches reason to believe there is some level of openness among young people to the Christian faith and church attendance.” Maine ballot initiative would ban males from girls' sports In the United States, a Maine ballot initiative is seeking to ban males from competing in girls' sports statewide, reports WBUR. More than 80,000 citizens have signed the petition to keep males out of girls sports, and the effort has been endorsed by United States Senator Susan Collins and Maine's former Governor Paul LePage, both of whom are Republican. Leyland Streiff, the petitioner for Protect Girls Sports in Maine, told FOX News that the organization wanted to leave no margin for error in the petitioning process. STREIFF: “We got 14,000 more than the threshold. The validation, though, is that we need over 67,000 validated signatures. We have already validated over 76,000. “And that is indicative of, I think, how Maine thinks about this. Mainers are common sense people. They understand that males should not be in female spaces. And I think that this is indicative of how the vote will go in November. Anniversary of Patrick Henry's “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death” speech And finally, this week is the anniversary of when Patrick Henry delivered his famous “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death” speech. The American statesman and Founding Father delivered the speech at St. John's Church in Richmond, Virginia on March 23, 1775. Listen to the conclusion of Patrick Henry's speech in this re-enactment on the 240th anniversary. PATRICK: “It is now already too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable—and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.” VIRGINIA DELEGATE: “Mr. Henry, we speak for peace, sir!” HENRY: “It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, peace, peace—but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? “What is it that they wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? “Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!” (Read the whole transcript). Patrick Henry's powerful oration is credited with swinging Virginia's convention in support of committing troops in the War for Independence from the British Empire. Notable delegates who were present at the convention included future U.S. presidents George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. What is less known about Henry's speech is that he gave it shortly after the tragic death of his wife, Sarah. However, from his position of grief, God used Henry in a pivotal moment in the history of America's development. In 2 Corinthians 12:10, The Apostle Paul wrote, “For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” Get the book entitled Give Me Liberty: The Uncompromising Statesmanship of Patrick Henry.

In this episode, we dive into the tragic story of Sheridan Gorman, an 18-year-old who was murdered in Chicago by an illegal alien with tuberculosis. The Michael shares his thoughts on the media's response, questioning why the Chicago Sun Times' initial headline focused on the victim being in the wrong place at the wrong time, rather than the perpetrator's actions. We also explore the politics surrounding sanctuary cities and the consequences of releasing violent criminals into the community. Michael also touches on other topics, including a refinery explosion in Texas and a disturbing trend in Colorado regarding child rape sentencing.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In Canada, there is a law called MAiD which stands for Medical Assistance in Dying which permits medical personnel to help with suicide. Their criteria are such that in 2024 5.1% of all deaths in Canada are caused by medical personnel legally murdering or assisting in the murder of their patients. In the Quebec province, it was at least 7.3% of all deaths. These are staggeringly high numbers and since it varies by province, there are probably significantly more factors in play than just the health of the patient.

A Canadian combat veteran, Kelsi Sheren, joins Allie to expose how Canada's taxpayer-funded Medical Assistance in Dying program is targeting the most vulnerable: veterans, the disabled, the mentally ill, the poor, children, and even babies. Kelsi shares shocking firsthand stories of veterans being offered death instead of care, explains how MAID quietly expanded from terminal illness to non‑terminal conditions, and details the financial incentives driving doctors, institutions, and advocacy groups she calls a “death cult.” They also connect the dots to the United States — naming the states where assisted suicide is already legal, the role of groups like Compassion & Choices, and how churches and religious leaders are being pressured to accept euthanasia as “compassion."

Alberta's changing the rules around Medical Assistance in Dying, and it's sparking a fierce, complex debate. The UCP's legislation is being supported by some disability advocacy groups who say it strengthens safeguards and protects vulnerable people, while critics warn it could undermine personal autonomy, limit access, and set a troubling precedent in healthcare decision-making. Where's the balance between protection and freedom? We dig into it with Trish Bowman (2:45), CEO of Inclusion Alberta, for a thoughtful and challenging conversation on what these changes really mean.

In this video, combat veteran and advocate Kelsi Sheren responds after a Toronto Raptors content creator publicly attacked her online for speaking out about MAID in Canada.What started as a social media argument quickly exposed a much bigger issue: how Canada's euthanasia laws are expanding and why raising concerns about Medical Assistance in Dying is becoming increasingly controversial.MAID was originally introduced for terminal illness, but the program has expanded significantly. Today the debate includes chronic illness, disability, and even the potential expansion of MAID to mental illness.In this episode, Kelsi Sheren breaks down:• What MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying) actually is • Why the MAID debate in Canada is becoming so heated • The ethical questions surrounding assisted dying laws • Why critics say Canada's euthanasia program is expanding too quickly • The online clash with a Toronto Raptors content creatorThis isn't just internet drama.It's part of a much larger conversation about ethics, healthcare policy, mental health, and how societies decide questions of life and death.Whether you support MAID or oppose it, this discussion matters.Canada is now at the center of a global debate about assisted dying laws and the future of medical ethics.Watch the full episode and decide for yourself. - - - - - - - - - - - -One Time Donation! - Paypal - https://paypal.me/brassandunityBuy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@thekelsisherenperspectiveInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsiBurnsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kelsie_sheren/Substack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -MasterPeace - 10% off with code KELSI - https://www.MasterPeace.Health/KelsiKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://brassandunity.com
County leaders are lobbying Minnesota lawmakers for computer technology upgrades. They're coalescing around a goal of upgrading IT software that counties use to sign people up for Medical Assistance.Meanwhile, the Minnesota House will vote this week on renaming a state community solar garden program in honor of former House Speaker Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last year. Hortman advocated strongly for the program and got it passed.Travel by air and road are also getting more expensive in part because of war in the middle east. AAA reports the average gallon of regular gas will cost Minnesotans $3.25 Monday morning. That's up from $2.83 just a week ago. In the Twin Cities metro, prices are about 10 cents higher. The national average is about $3.48 a gallon.

In this episode of Finding Common Battle Grounds, Ryan, Josh, and Tom are joined by Jake and Hunter. We discuss Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), Canada's program that allows people who meet specific criteria to have the help of a physician to end their lives. Josh is adamantly opposed to this and is unwilling to budge at all, even in pretty obvious cases, like if someone is very old, has a terminal diagnosis, and is going to spend their remaining few months in excruciating pain. The rest of the panelists fall on a spectrum, from Ryan, who fully embraces this (closely followed by Jake), to Hunter and Tom, who don't love it, but respect people's autonomy. Josh brings up gray cases to criticize the practice, which is useful to show that any policy can be problematic. Intriguingly, some panelists suggest their real concern is that it is a government program, and that they would trust it more if it were privatized, you know, like a big-box wholesaler!
Dr. York Hsiang returns for his fourth appearance on The Kid Carson Show, with a preview of a new Substack piece from “The Analytical Scalpel.” This one goes straight into the most uncomfortable questions around MAID in Canada.They break down what Medical Assistance in Dying actually is, walks through the drug sequence, the lack of monitoring, and why he believes the process is being sold as dignified care while key details get glossed over.You will hear a surgeon's perspective on sedation vs pain control, paralysis, “clinical” time of death, and why some cases can take far longer than the public assumes.Follow York on Substack here: https://yorkhsiang.substack.com/Be featured on The Kid Carson ShowStep into a premium interview experience and create content for your business with Kid Carson.

learn how to ask for medical assistance
While over 76,000 Canadians used the MAID program (Medical Assistance in Dying) to end their life, Switzerland's Sacro (suicide) Pod is now being designed to hold couples. What is the Orthodox Christian view of medically assisted euthanasia?
In this episode, Kelsi Sheren discusses the troubling implications of euthanasia practices in Canada, particularly focusing on the moral and ethical dilemmas surrounding the Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program. She critiques the shift in societal values that devalues life and the manipulation of language used to frame euthanasia as compassionate care. Sheren warns of the slippery slope of expanding euthanasia policies and the potential consequences of a society that no longer views life as sacred.Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Conversation on Euthanasia02:27 The Moral Implications of Euthanasia06:17 The Role of Language in Shaping Perceptions10:08 The Slippery Slope of Euthanasia Policies12:37 The Consequences of Devaluing Life - - - - - - - - - - - -One Time Donation! - Paypal - https://paypal.me/brassandunityBuy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@thekelsisherenperspectiveInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsiBurnsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kelsie_sheren/Substack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -MasterPeace - 10% off with code KELSI - https://www.MasterPeace.Health/KelsiKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://brassandunity.com
The State is coming for your life, your wallet, and your reputation. Today on Wake Up America, Austin Petersen breaks down the horrifying reality of Canada's "Medical Assistance in Dying" (MAID) program. We're going deep on the case of Kiano Vafaeian, a 26-year-old blind man with type 1 diabetes whose "seasonal depression" was treated with a lethal injection rather than a winter coat and a light box.
Kelsi Sheren, a former combat veteran and Canadian activist, joins the program to expose the disturbing realities of Canada's Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program. Sheren explains how MAID has rapidly become one of the leading causes of death in Canada, far beyond what the public was initially told, and why she believes the program is being expanded and applied in ways that serve ulterior agendas few are willing to confront. Drawing from her experience and advocacy, Sheren argues that MAID is increasingly targeting vulnerable populations—including those who could have meaningful alternatives if the system genuinely prioritized care, dignity, and long-term well-being over expedience. This is a sobering conversation about ethics, government power, and what happens when a society quietly redefines compassion.You can follow Kelsi on X at KelsiBurnsSee exclusives and more at https://SarahWestall.Substack.com
In this episode, Kelsi Sheren discusses the alarming trend of euthanasia laws being enacted in New York and other states, drawing parallels to Canada's experience with medical assistance in dying (MAID). She emphasizes the ethical implications of normalizing death as a solution to suffering, highlighting personal experiences and systemic failures within healthcare. Kelsi calls for community awareness and action against these developments, warning that once such laws are accepted, they tend to expand beyond their original intent.00:00 Introduction and Context of the Discussion00:58 The Prescription of Death in New York02:24 The Expansion of Euthanasia Laws04:51 The Ethical Implications of Medical Assistance in Dying07:16 Personal Experiences and Systemic Failures10:33 The Slippery Slope of Euthanasia Legislation12:28 Call to Action and Community Awareness - - - - - - - - - - - -One Time Donation! - Paypal - https://paypal.me/brassandunityBuy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@thekelsisherenperspectiveInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsiBurnsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kelsie_sheren/Substack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenTikTok - https://x.com/KelsiBurnsSUPPORT OUR SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - -MasterPeace - 10% off with code KELSI - http://www.MasterPeace.Health/KelsiKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://brassandunity.com

In this episode of the Kelsi Sheren Perspective, Kelsi delves into the alarming rise of physician-assisted suicide in the United States, drawing parallels with Canada's Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program. She emphasizes that the U.S. is on a similar trajectory, with 12 states already implementing laws that allow for this practice, and New York poised to become the 13th. Kelsi passionately argues against the normalization of such laws, highlighting the potential for abuse and the ethical implications of framing death as a healthcare option. She shares harrowing stories of individuals who have suffered through the process, questioning the narrative of 'dying with dignity' and urging listeners to recognize the dangers of these policies.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Show Updates01:27 The Reality of Physician-Assisted Suicide in the U.S.04:44 The Process and Ethical Concerns08:45 The Implications of Euthanasia Laws12:57 Lobbying and the Expansion of Laws15:51 Conclusion and Call to Action - - - - - - - - - - - -One Time Donation! - Paypal - https://paypal.me/brassandunityBuy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@thekelsisherenperspectiveInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsiBurnsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kelsie_sheren/Substack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenTikTok - https://x.com/KelsiBurnsListen on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/1O3yiobOjThKHtqyjviy1a?si=6c78bdc2325a43aeSUPPORT OUR SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - -MasterPeace - 10% off with code KELSI - http://www.MasterPeace.Health/KelsiKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://brassandunity.com
It's Thursday, January 29th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Evangelical college fired teacher for calling homosexual behavior sin A Christian teacher in England went to court last week to defend his religious freedom. Dr. Aaron Edwards worked at Cliff College in Derbyshire. Three years ago, the Evangelical college fired him after he called homosexuality a sin in a social media post. Edwards is now appealing a tribunal decision that upheld his dismissal with the help of the Christian Legal Centre. Andrea Williams, chief executive of the organization, said, "This case raises serious questions about freedom of religion, freedom of expression, and the lawful limits of institutional authority.” Referencing Acts 4:20, Edwards said he does not regret speaking the truth, saying, “As the apostles said before their accusers, ‘We cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard.'” Euthanasia bill failed in French Senate A bill to legalize euthanasia failed in France's Senate last week. Political deadlock among lawmakers effectively killed the bill. Gregor Puppinck is the Director General of the European Centre for Law and Justice. He said, “This text was terrible. It allowed euthanasia and suicide by decision of a single doctor, at the oral request of a patient, in three days, without the relatives being informed and able to take legal action.” Canada euthanized elderly woman against her will Meanwhile, in Canada, an elderly woman was tragically euthanized against her will through the country's Medical Assistance in Dying program. This according to a report by the Office of the Chief Coroner. The report identified the 80-year-old woman as “Mrs. B.” She initially expressed interest in the program. But later, she wanted to withdraw her request, “citing personal and religious values and beliefs.” However, assessors with the euthanasia program approved the killing after her husband reported experiencing “caregiver burnout.” Proverbs 12:10 says, “The tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.” Canada backs off deal with China after Trump tariff threat Canada reached a preliminary agreement with China earlier this month to lower tariffs on certain goods. However, U.S. President Trump criticized the deal. He wrote on Truth Social, “If Canada makes a deal with China, it will immediately be hit with a 100% Tariff against all Canadian goods and products coming into the U.S.A.” In response, Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney backed off the agreement with China. Federal Reserve didn't change interest rate In the United States, the Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged yesterday. The central bank decided to keep its key lending rate between 3.5 percent and 3.75 percent. The Fed noted, “Available indicators suggest that economic activity has been expanding at a solid pace. Job gains have remained low, and the unemployment rate has shown some signs of stabilization. Inflation remains somewhat elevated.” Fewer U.S. pastors leaving ministry A new survey from the Barna Group found fewer pastors are considering walking away from the ministry. Twenty-four percent of U.S. senior Protestant pastors say they have seriously considered leaving full-time ministry within the past year. That's down from 42 percent in 2022. Pastoral burnout heightened during the COVID-19 pandemic but has been stabilizing since then. The report noted, “Fewer pastors appear to be in immediate vocational crisis, even as many continue to carry fatigue, grief, and uncertainty about the future of ministry.” Today is birthday of Martin Luther's wife And finally, today marks the birthday of Katharina Von Bora, the wife of Martin Luther. She was born on January 29, 1499. Her mother died in childhood and she was sent to a Catholic boarding school before becoming a nun. At the convent, Katharina discovered the writings of Martin Luther. Along with other nuns, she learned about salvation by grace through faith in Christ. This led Katharina and the nuns to ask Luther for help to escape the convent. Luther was able to help the nuns find husbands and jobs, except for Katharina. The two were eventually married. Together, they had six children. Author Michelle DeRusha described Katharina as “a woman who risked marrying one of the most controversial men of the time – a man who could have very likely been burned as a heretic at any given moment. She was a woman who raised six children; ran a boardinghouse; oversaw a farm complete with fruit orchards, livestock, and a fishpond; and advised and cared for her husband.” Consider an excellent, full-color, beautifully illustrated children's book about her entitled Katharine von Bora: The Morning Star of Wittenberg. It is co-authored by Shanna and Jenna Strackbein, twin sisters who were homeschooled in Aransas Pass, Texas, by their beloved mother Jenny. Joel Beeke, President of Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary in Grand Rapids, Michigan said, "Boys and girls (and adults too) will love this beautiful book about a godly woman who helped to change the world."

In this episode of The Kelsi Sheren Perspective, Kelsi and her guest, Alex Schadenberg, delve into the controversial topic of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) in Canada, particularly focusing on the ethical implications and real-life cases that highlight the potential dangers of the program. They discuss the tragic story of Keanu, a young man who was approved for euthanasia despite not being terminally ill, and the role of doctors like Dr. Ellen Wiebe in these decisions. The conversation emphasizes the alarming trend of euthanasia being normalized in society, especially among vulnerable populations, and raises questions about the motivations behind such practices, including financial incentives and systemic failures in mental health care.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Overview of MAID01:20 The Case of Keanu: A Tragic Euthanasia Story05:40 Ethical Concerns Surrounding Euthanasia10:46 Discrepancies in Euthanasia Practices Across Provinces15:52 The Role of Organizations in Promoting Euthanasia21:31 Manipulation and Coercion in Euthanasia Narratives26:51 The Legal Landscape of Euthanasia in Canada30:24 The Alarming Rise of Euthanasia Cases31:01 Euthanasia Statistics and COVID Comparisons32:45 The Economic Incentives Behind Euthanasia36:22 Organ Donation and Euthanasia Ethics40:11 Redefining Death: The Ethical Dilemma46:37 Witnessing Euthanasia: Emotional Impact and Trauma49:49 Coercion in Euthanasia: A Closer Look - - - - - - - - - - - -One Time Donation! - Paypal - https://paypal.me/brassandunityBuy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@thekelsisherenperspectiveInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsiBurnsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kelsie_sheren/Substack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenTikTok - https://x.com/KelsiBurnsListen on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/1O3yiobOjThKHtqyjviy1a?si=6c78bdc2325a43aeSUPPORT OUR SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - -MasterPeace - 10% off with code KELSI - MasterPeace.Health/KelsiKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://brassandunity.com- - - - - - - - - - - - -CHARITYHeroic Hearts Project - https://www.heroicheartsproject.orgDefenders of Freedom - https://www.defendersoffreedom.usBoot Campaign - https://bootcampaign.org

Canada has embraced a culture of death. America's neighbor to the north legalized euthanasia in 2016, and since then more than 75,000 Canadians have participated in Canada's Medical Assistance in Dying program. Canada also has no restrictions on abortion and only considers a baby a human after it passes through the birth canal. Canada has become a “totalitarian wild west,” according to Liana Graham, who grew up in Canada and now works as a research assistant in domestic policy at The Heritage Foundation. Areas that Canada should regulate, such as abortion and physician-assisted suicide, it does not; instead, it has created stringent regulations around freedom of speech and religion. On this week's episode of "Problematic Women," Liana joins the show to discuss the ways America can keep itself from becoming Canada 2.0 and protect the value of life that was intrinsic to America's founding. Also on today's show, we wrap up the year by discussing President Donald Trump's Wednesday night address to the nation.
