Canadians are dying of poverty by legalized suicide - current legislation allows doctors to simply fit the criteria to their needs. Many vulnerable people are being pressured into MAiD and nothing has been done the address the root issues of poverty and mental unwellness. – at North Vancouver, British Columbia
Replying to @Sonjalovesbikes
Reasons I have seen people approved for MAiD: - poverty - loneliness - homelessness - mental illness (note this is not permissible under current law as the sole reason for MAiD, but almost everyone with severe mental health conditions has physical illnesses too)

I believe the checks and balances the public believes are in place to prevent inappropriate use of MAiD are inadequate and from observing many real-life examples, I do not trust them to function in the way they are intended and promoted by MAiD proponents.

cw: MAiD I realize this is a strong position and likely leaves me on an island. I do wonder if there are other MDs with similar views who have been too shy to speak up. I believe MAiD in Canada is out of control and a moratorium is needed until it can be completely overhauled

Cars are deadly, trucks are deadlier. We need a new piece of legislation in BC to manage increasing mixed-use of our roadways. Cyclists are left behind by the antiquated Motor Vehicle Act and our NDP government is very well aware of the issue. Keep writing your MLAs.

That’s one sexy sexy bike shop 🔥
This is our shop, 2.0 - Metro Van commercial real estate is brutal and we were pushed to scale up 6x our original model within 6 months of opening. We’re still here two years later! I did not grow up with the conditioning that I could own a business, so I’m very proud of this.

Listening to the Rent film score as an energizer while writing blog entries: realizing it’s a Christmas story and therefore the best Christmas movie of all time! Also relatable lines such as:“To riding your bike midday past the three piece suits, to fruits, to no absolutes!” – at North Vancouver, British Columbia

#NewProfilePic because I’ve finally embraced being a business owner, a bike mechanic and a blossoming entrepreneur. New topics, so no harm unfollowing if you don’t care about bikes or business babes.

For those who are finding this Twitter & podcast because of @cfrangou's @Chatelaine article, then please check out podcast. @AshDKelly & @byGawley do amazing work in the 1st 5 eps doing a deep journalistic dive in that longer format allowing them to share more details #pwME
Incredible to see @IamMADELINEpod and Madeline’s story represented in such a large and legacy publication. This is worth giving some time and space to today.
