    Shocking treatment of Canadian combat veterans
    You hear horror stories about VA and the way US vets are treated .

    Canada is trying to one up them
    A Canadian Forces veteran seeking treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder and a traumatic brain injury was shocked when he was unexpectedly and casually offered medical assistance in dying by a Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) employee….
    Sources say a VAC service agent brought up medical assistance in dying, or MAID, unprompted in the conversation with the veteran.

    Veterans Affairs says worker ‘inappropriately’ discussed medically assisted death with veteran - National | Globalnews.ca

    But vets aren't the only target of this new Canadian rage

    The people with brain illness are also in the cross hairs .

    To go on vegetating in cowardly dependence on physicians and machinations, after the meaning of life, the right to life, has been lost, that ought to prompt a profound contempt in society. (Nietzsche)

    Never again’ is, by itself, never good enough — because there’s always an argument, the next time, about whether the new evil is the same thing we’ve sworn to never tolerate again. The injustice always reappears in a different form. The very parade of self-condemnation of the elaborate distancing of ourselves from the injustice of the past — by which we think we guarantee our innocence — can itself become the occasion, or even the excuse, for the next injustice.
