Is Canada facing a population cliff like the US? I forecast the US to lose tons of education jobs as well, just because there aren't enough young people.

Healthcare is surprising, though. That is one of the only robust employment growth sectors in the US, fueled by aging populations and public money.

When you just execute your patients, you don't need so many healthcare professionals. Let's hope our public health experts don't take notice.

Apparently we are reassessing our MAID criteria. There has been some criticism that it is too lenient.

My wife and I are on opposite sides of this. I think it should be lawful to decide you want to end it peacefully. She thinks it shouldn't be allowed. But we both think that an attitude of "my life is not worth living because of this or that" generally shouldn't be encouraged. I hate that where to draw that line is becoming a matter for politicians and doctors.

I am good with MAID. But it would also be great if we allowed people to explore every possible avenue to save/extend their lives as well.

"Justice Steeves ruled that while long surgical wait times cause pain and suffering, the restrictions are constitutional and serve to protect a universal public health-care system based on need rather than wealth". Sorry you have to wait for that life saving treatment even if you are willing to pay for it privately but if you want to kill yourself instead we have an opening next week.

What kind of ghoul can take the high road while inflicting so much unnecessary torment on people that they choose to end their lives rather than endure it?

Immigration had slowed because it was an election issue. They are ramping it up again now.
