Why have Canada’s conservatives backed euthanasia?

There’s two weeks left before Canada’s federal election, and we’re dying over here. Former Bank of England governor Mark Carney seems more and more likely to walk away with the top job, while Poilievre is busy bowing and scraping before the sacred cows of the left.

This week, Poilievre decided, for some reason, to pledge to keep euthanasia legal. He said his government would not expand the eligibility for assisted suicide, but that people would ‘continue to have that right.’

This makes no sense. Canada’s euthanasia regime is the brainchild of the Liberal party, forced upon Canada by an activist Supreme Court with a majority of Liberal appointees, and it developed into the horrific regime that it is today thanks to a decade of Trudeau’s Liberals.

Why on earth would Poilievre decide that’s a legacy he wants to preserve?

Disabled people and the elderly are being bullied into assisted suicide. The poor and terminally ill are told their suffering is meaningless and their lives aren’t worth living.
