This is one of many stories proving that euthanasia (MAiD) has grown out of control in Canada. A Canadian Forces veteran who had sustained a traumatic brain injury from a roadside bomb in Afghanistan and suffers from PTSD was seeking treatment when he was unexpectedly and casually offered medical assistance in dying by a Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) employee. This unprompted offer of MAID disrupted his progress for recovering and has been harmful to the veteran’s progress and his family’s wellbeing. Scott Maxwell, executive director of Wounded Warriors Canada, says that advocating for MAiD among veterans living with PTSD is “flat out wrong.” Veterans Affairs Minister Lawrence MacAulay told Global News that this will never happen again.
