Re MAiD in Canada Crisis, B.C. Catholic, June 10:
As a serious pro-life person, I am grateful that we have the Christian Heritage Party – CHP Canada and Christian Heritage Party of BC. As a Catholic, I have enough problems with my taxes being used to kill people as part of health care, so donating to a political party that supports killing as health care and a right is too much for my conscience.
We need to pray and act to get Christian values back in our government.

As long as the cost of euthanasia is a fraction of that for treatment or palliative care, there is danger, and the vulnerable and seniors must be on their guard.
How can one fully trust a system that considers homicide to be a medical treatment?

It was timely to see an update on the situation with St. Paul’s Hospital and MAID access. Apparently, St. Paul’s is waiting for an update from Vancouver Coastal Health as to access and connection, as well as from the Ministry of Health on the land acquired to build a euthanasia facility.
The waiting and questioning of these government bodies would not be relevant if our Catholic moral stand had been taken seriously from the onset. We do not accommodate or accompany MAID. Providence would not be in a position of “attempting to make the best of a bad situation or facing “a conundrum.” Mary Wagner has been well quoted twice now in The B.C. Catholic as to maintaining the Catholic position.
What is the purpose of clearly stating this position many times in The B.C. Catholic but not carrying through to refuse MAID entry or connecting.

Bravo to the Roy family for writing these books. Why are they not available at the Catholic bookstore or in the little shop in the cathedral?
Many people like me do not order online. We would like to see the book first before we purchase it. I am sure it would make a great gift, especially for grandparents to give to their children and grandchildren.
