Summary
Canadas top pro-life group warns of impending change in medical assistance in dying (MAID) rules, allowing mental illness as eligibility starting March 17, 2027. They urge lawmakers to pass Conservative MP Tamara Jansens Bill C-218 to prevent this. The group praises Albertas MAID restrictions and draws inspiration from Slovenias successful referendum against assisted dying. The summary leads up to the National March for Life on Parliament Hill, marking 57 years since abortion laws loosened, with a focus on keeping compassion first.
