Dear Editor,
On May 18th, Bill 129 did Not pass. Our Freedom is Eroding!
Ontario Bill 129 would have allowed doctors and practitioners the right of conscience in an amendment to Bill 84. Bill 84 forces doctors and practitioners to refer patients to their death. If they do not do so, the College of Physicians can revoke the license of the doctor. That’s right. It’s the law. It is a fundamental right of all Canadians to a Free Conscience but this is now no longer true. Bill 84 is about doctors’ conscience and has nothing to do with the main intent of the federal Bill C-14 wrt to euthanasia. Alberta has a system in place that protects the conscience of the doctor and at the same time allows the patient to obtain the end of life choice they desire. Let me repeat, this bill is not about the patient but the doctors’ freedom of conscience. Nowhere has such a bill, like Bill 84, been approved in a democratic society in the whole world! Our Liberal Ontario is now a totalitarian regime.
On Canada’s 150th birthday, the “glorious and free.” Free?
