Euthanasia by stealth
Brian Lilley's excellent piece on the latest attempt to push euthanasia via assisted suicide:
... A Kelowna woman suffering from ALS or Lou Gherig’s disease has joined a lawsuit seek to overturn Canada’s ban on helping people kill themselves.
Gloria Taylor told a news conference that she’s never agreed with this ban “It is my life, my body and it should be my choice” she said at a news conference on Tuesday.
This may seem harsh but Ms. Taylor already has the ability to take her own life using any number of common household items ...Video here.
... What Ms. Taylor and the lawyers from the BC Civil Liberties Association are calling for is for the government to bless the idea that doctors or some other authority figure be allowed to kill them and not be charged....
Art Attack!
This deserves to be highlighted up front: Brian Lilley with Ezra Levant discussing the whiny artistes.

Whining on behalf of the "artists"
Heh, apparently, SNN's Krista Erickson's interview with Canadian dancer Margie Gillis generated a record number of complaints to CBSC:
Note Krista's tastefully long sleeves (compared to Margie's). Think there'll be any lefty comments about 'skanky dresses'?
Update: Here's Hunter's take, BC Blue's and SDA's today and yesterday. Brian Lilley with Ezra today.
Viewers have sent in more than 4,350 complaints since the interview aired on the Sun News program Canada Live on June 1. The CBSC receives on average 2,000 complaints in total in any given year.
Ms. Erickson challenged Ms. Gillis to explain why artists like her deserve public funding. ...
... the company [SNN] pointed out that a campaign was launched on Facebook, encouraging people to complain about the interview.Good show Krista! I wouldn't be surprised if Margaret Atwood organized that blowback to the CBSC. Anyway, here's the interview:
