Dear Editor:
It is with sadness that I read that Bill C-314 was defeated. This Bill was put forward to protect people with disabilities from MAID (medical assistance in dying) in our hospitals, etc.
The Trudeau government and their supporters defeated this bill. Our MP, supported Bill C-314 to provide protection. Thank you Mike.
I am writing this to say to all people with disabilities that you are very important to society, that you are loved by God and by people like me and that you play an important role in society.
Have you ever thought that people with disabilities may be teaching us to have compassion and love? It is often people with disabilities who have that enthusiasm for life that we lose as we go through life’s daily struggles.
Many people with disabilities, in my observation, are brave, refreshing and beautiful and entitled to be supported through this life with great care from our hospitals and support services and our society. Remember this please everyone with disabilities: if you can’t run, speak, walk, etc. now in this life, hold on … there is healing in the next life, if not in this life through a miracle.
You matter! Your life matters. Run from the culture of death being promoted.
This is good advice for all of us … including me.
Carolann Krusky,
Fergus
