The Horrible Reality of Canada's 'Healthcare'

This reminds me of the 'ministers of euthanasia' from an old book.

Truth is stranger than fiction.

Canada: From Utopia to Dystopia

August 29, 2019
Source: fsspx.news

A patient suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) resigned himself to starting a medically assisted death procedure—euthanasia—as the level of care which his condition needs was no longer supported by the state. Canadians are discovering that their social model is turning into a nightmare: limiting access to care, while supporting assisted suicide.
“No one should have to feel death is the only option due to lack of care,” said Dr. Leonie Herx, a physician in Toronto, Canada, in response to the news of Sean Tagert’s death.
The 41-year-old father had a neurodegenerative pathology, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Charcot’s disease.
Following a cardiac arrest in 2017, the condition of the patient required constant care at home, all the more expensive as his reimbursement for care was decreasing.
In a message of July 25, 2019, Sean Tagert revealed that two officials from Vancouver Coastal Health—the regional health authority supposed to provide health services to the sick—came to his home and talked to his mother. “They told his mother that they were there to cut his funding for care hours.” Unable to pay the 237 euros ($263.50) for the additional four hours per day needed for his care (the plan would only pay for 20 hours per day), the patient resigned himself to ask for medically assisted suicide, which, in turn, is fully funded.
On August 6, 2019, Sean Tagert passed away. “Sean often said that his son was his reason for living. We would ask, on Sean’s behalf, that the government recognize the serious problems in its treatment of ALS patients and their families, and find real solutions,” said the family the day after his death.
Suicide reimbursed, vital care at the expense of the patient: Canada—and more widely the West—discovers that the utopia of freedom without constraint, without God or master, leads to the worst dystopia, or rather to the reality of a abjectly materialistic society, without morality because it is apostate—a sordid society

The Curious Case of Steve Skojec and the Dangers of Deep Diving into the Crisis Sub-Titled: The Failings of Others

By
 + JMJ It's been a while now since Steve Skojec sold 1P5 and abandoned the Catholic Faith. I've been a 'Trad' since 1982 and in those 40+ years I seen this death-spiral before with a similar end point. It seems that anyone who jumps into the fray unprepared for the enormous task of righting wrongs will, eventually, become discouraged by not the task but the people who surround them.   I remember when Skojec complained of the treatment his family received from a traditional priest.  This seems to have been the start of the end for him. So what can we learn from the likes of Steve Skojec, Michael Voris (maybe?), Louie Verrecchio, Gerry Matatix and other celebrity Catholics? Probably quite a lot about what not to do. First, don't burn out on the crisis?  When you burn out, on work or anything else, little things assume a more greater importance than they are due.   This is one of my 'canary in the coal mine' signals that I've been stretching myself too th...

Communique about Avrille Dominicans - SSPX.org

By
+ JMJ Having completed the review of the 'Avrille' perspective, this communique from the French District Superior is perfectly timed. I believe that the 'resistance' has lost rationality and further argumentation simply results in their holding on to their false ideal all the more firmly. Pray much ... First, for them to acquiesce to the grace of humility in order to obtain a clear perspective on the principles involved. Second, that we may remain faithful to the Church, and Her Dogmas, Doctrines and Principles. Lest we become that which against we strove ... P^3 Courtesy of SSPX.org

By
+ JMJ Along the theme of P^3 (Prayer, Penance, Patience), and for my own reference ... here is a collection of Morning and Evening prayers from the Ideal Daily Missal along with some additional prayers. In this crisis of the Church, I do not think it is possible to do too much prayer, penance and have patience. P^3

A Reply to Martin Blackshaw’s FLAWED Remnant article titled: FLAWED: SSPX Advice on Abortion-tainted Vaccines

By
 + JMJ    An article has appeared in the Remnant (link to article) and I am afraid that there are a number of flaws in it that need to be addressed. The author, Martin Blackshaw, believes that both the Church and the SSPX are misapplying the principle of Moral Theology called 'Cooperation In Evil'.  Unfortunately, Mr. Blackshaw rests most of his arguments on citing authors that support his position, without considering the possibility that they are wrong. This highlights a key factor in this crisis: ignorance of the faith and its application . I don't am not singling out Mr. Blackshaw for this criticism, I have observed that it applies to laity and religious, superior and subject a like.  No one seems immune in this enduring crisis, myself included.  I further believe that this ignorance is why so many Catholics, both traditional and non, rely on their gut feeling or "Catholic conscience" for charting their way through this crisis of the faith.  While...

Magisterium and Levels of Assent

By
+ JMJ Understanding the levels of assent to be given to the teachings of the Church is a critical success factor in walking the knife's edge during this crisis of the Church.  The levels of assent are generally associated with the theological grades of certainty, which are not surprisingly mirrored by the censures for contravening the teachings of the various levels.
