The Canadian Mental Health Association, the Disability Alliance of BC, Health Justice, also receive public funds and are anti-MAiD, and so is the Red-Cross: Jacqui Jesso of their "Friendly Call" program refused to help me get selected for a study by the University of Ottawa on MAiD rejected applicants. She wasted time trying to get me counselling: She did not accept that, as an applicant for MD-SUM C, I have to and can demonstrate that my MD is treatment-resistant. In fact, therapy made me sicker! But, how can I blame her? The Coastal Health MAiD office emailed me to go get anger management therapy!!!
Hi Andrew, the lack of transparency with a group of the population who need and deserve community support, was so concerning for us. In addition, they received public funding for multiple years and no where on their application did it state they were supporting lonely and isolated seniors with the hopes of preventing them from accessing MAiD...it all feels like an undisclosed agenda.

I don't like a program to be scaring and misleading seniors. That is dishonest.

Let's pretend this so that we can get money and then we can do that. That borders on the fraudulent.
What great investigative journalism.
Thank you. It was a lot of work. Wish it wasn't needed though.
I wish it wasn't needed either but on a positive note, it felt like meaningful work to research together.
