The Canadian government says it is urgently trying to end the forced sterilization of Indigenous women, describing the practice as a human rights violation and a prosecutable offense. Yet police say they will not pursue a criminal investigation into a recent case in which a doctor apologized for his “unprofessional conduct” in sterilizing an Inuit woman.
In July, The Associated Press reported on the case of an Inuit woman in Yellowknife who had surgery in 2019 aimed at relieving her abdominal pain. The obstetrician-gynecologist, Dr. Andrew Kotaska, did not have the woman’s consent to sterilize her, and he did so over the objections of other medical personnel in the operating room. She is now suing him.
“This is a pivotal case for Canada because it shows that forced sterilization is still happening,” said Dr. Unjali Malhotra, of the First Nations Health Authority in British Columbia. “It’s time that it be treated as a crime.”
Between this and the euthanasia laws being deliberately abused by doctors pushing it onto patients, can we declare Canada genocidal yet?
No.
This is an example of a bad Doctor. Not bad medical practices in Canada.
MAiD isn’t being forced on anyone. Don’t believe the far right smear champaign.
https://apnews.com/article/covid-science-health-toronto-7c631558a457188d2bd2b5cfd360a867 - It’s not a smear campaign, it’s a widely documented phenomenon that the poor are being denied disability payments and proper healthcare, and being pushing into the suicide option.
Hell they even made an ad encouraging people to kill themselves which ran on Youtube, but was pulled for massive dislikes.
You just linked a far right news source and expect me to take you seriously?
There have been two alleged cases where a disabled person was “suggested” MAiD. One of the was a lie and the other was done by veterans affairs who has no authority to prescribe such a procedure.
I’m not supporting or disputing OPs assertion but just wanted to point out that AP is nowhere close to being a far-right news source.
I’d take them and Reuters over anything else any day of the week.
The AP isn’t a “far right new source”.
Sure it isn’t.
When you make disingenuous claims based on your feelings only your side of any given argument loses power. Do with that what you will, but you’re helping no one.
Far right nutter.
Yeah, go on, list examples from my post history of anything far right. I’ll wait.
not a good look my man
Associated Press is a Far Right News Source? Since fucking when?
Is it being suggested to people who don’t have a terminal disease?
Hopefully eventually it will be.
And the mask comes off.
Everyone should have access to MAiD just like everyone has access to other means of Healthcare.
Honestly everything the Nazi’s did, the Commonwealth of the United Kingdom did first the Nazis just scaled it up big time. Modern concentration camps, British. The idea of The Final Solution, Canadian. Forced sterilization and eugenics, born in Europe but expanded upon by the United States. At least Canada is trying to find justice for the victims of it’s past. Even if it’s obviously failing. Is Canada genocidal now, no. We’re they, absolutely. Are they do enough to reconcile, not even close.
