Canadian author with cerebral palsy says nurse called her ‘selfish’ for refusing euthanasia

She was shamed by a nurse in 2019 for refusing MAiD at Medicine Hat Regional Hospital

In 2019, an Alberta nurse reportedly told Christian author Heather Hancock that she was “selfish” for not ending her life through the Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) euthanasia program. 

In a July 12 interview with the Daily Mail, Heather Hancock, a 56-year-old Christian author who suffers from cerebral palsy, said that she was shamed by a nurse in 2019 for refusing MAiD at Medicine Hat Regional Hospital in Alberta.   

According to Hancock, during a lengthy hospital stay in 2019 for a bout of muscle spams, a nurse told her while helping her to the bathroom that Hancock “should do the right thing and consider MAiD,” and that her refusing MAiD was her “being selfish” and she is “not living” but “merely existing.”

Hancock recalled feeling “gobsmacked” and told the nurse that her life had value even if she spent most of it in a wheelchair. 

“You have no right to push me to accept MAiD,” she says she told the nurse.  

“They just view me as a drain on the medical system and that my healthcare dollars could be spent on an able-bodied person,” Hancock told the Daily Mail. 

In addition to the alleged 2019 incidents, Hancock says she has been routinely encouraged to end her life via euthanasia.

Hancock, who has cerebral palsy, says she has been encouraged to take MAiD on three separate occasions since Canada launched its euthanasia program in 2016. 

Hancock currently lives in an assisted-living center in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. Despite her disability, she remains an active writer and activist against Canada’s growing euthanasia program. 

In May, LifeSiteNews reported on a Canadian man who felt “completely traumatized” and violated that he was offered MAiD “multiple times” instead of getting the proper care he needed while in the hospital. 

First introduced in 2016, MAiD was initially only available to those who were terminally ill. However, in 2021, the Trudeau government expanded the deadly practice to be available to those who were not a risk of death, but who suffered from chronic illness.

While MAiD does not yet apply to the mentally ill, this is not due to a lack of trying on behalf of the Trudeau government, who decided to delay the expansion of euthanasia to those suffering solely from such illnesses until 2027 following backlash from Canadians and prominent doctors.

The most recent reports show that MAiD is the sixth highest cause of death in Canada. However, it was not listed as such in Statistics Canada’s top 10 leading causes of death from 2019 to 2022. When asked why MAiD was left off the list, the agency explained that it records the illnesses that led Canadians to choose to end their lives via euthanasia, not the actual cause of death, as the primary cause of death.

According to Health Canada, in 2022, 13,241 Canadians died by MAiD lethal injections. This accounts for 4.1 percent of all deaths in the country for that year, a 31.2 percent increase from 2021.        

While the numbers for 2023 have yet to be released, all indications point to a situation even more grim than 2022.

EXCLUSIVE: The Nova Scotia RCMP Veterans’ Association IS TARGETING VETERANS with Euthanasia

Published on

I just received an email from a retired member of the RCMP…

“I served for 32 years on the West Coast and retired in 2019. As a Christian and a retired member of the RCMP I wanted to share this with you. I’m trying to wrap my head around this shocking email. I’m shocked it’s come to this.” – L.K

SATURDAY, NOV. 22, 2025

1:30-3:00 PM CHURCH HALL, OLD SACKVILLE ROAD, MIDDLE SACVILLE, NS, B4E 1R3.

On November 20th, an email quietly dropped into the inboxes of Nova Scotia RCMP veterans. Standard, polite and in true Canadian fashion formal and sanitized. This was no mistake, this wasn’t information. This was something different.

This was grooming.

Yes I said it, coercion.

The “opportunity” was a “Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) Program in Nova Scotia”

This is a state-aligned institutions normalizing death as a service to the very people they already failed to support in life .This was a information session, to “educate” veterans who’s rates of PTSD and suicidality were already sky hight. How they can apply or use MAID.

The invited speaker?

Dr. Gordon Gubitz

Location? None other than a place of worship, a church hall. The target audience?

VETERANS.

This is what I’ve been talking about, welcome to the soft-coercive stage of Canada’s MAID regime.

Let’s meet Dr. Gordon Gubitz. The same Dr. Gubitz whois a MAID assessor and provider (killer) is the Clinical Lead for MAID in Nova Scotia, which means MAID is his not only his passion but spends his work focused on ending lives. This “Dr” sits on the board of CAMAP, the pro death organization that creates all the pathways for Canadians to be killed while manipulating the court systems in their favour. More death to them is the goal. This “Dr” helped write the national MAID curriculum and trains doctors on how to present MAID as a “care option.” This guy is literally a death pusher and peddler of the dark.

Think of him a the drug dealer for death.

They didn’t invite a trauma specialist.
They didn’t invite a palliative expert.
They didn’t invite a police mental-health advocate.

They didn’t invite a mental health expert

They didn’t invite a Dr who looks at psychedelic assisted therapy

They didn’t invite hope. They only invited death.

Nova Scotia RCMP veterans invited a man whose job is to facilitate, provide and promote nothing but death, and whose organization teaches clinicians how to introduce MAID (assisted SUICIDE) to patients who didn’t ask for it, bring it up or want it in their life.

Let me explain something, If you’re a veteran dealing with PTSD, chronic pain, TBI, disability, or bureaucracy-induced despair, this isn’t “education.”

This is targeted psychological pressure.

Coercion, CAMAP and Dying with Dignity’s claim to fame.

No one will say the words out loud. No one will write “we think some of you should consider dying.”

They don’t need to, when just dangling the carrot is good enough to get the job done.

Coercion today is subtle, normalized in the community. It’s dressed up like Christmas cookies in a church call, framed as loving “support” being held by one of the most prolific death pushers in the game.

Simply funnelling veterans into the system one “information session” at a time. Like cattle through the gates of hell, with CAMAP waiting in the shadows. This time not with a bold gun. They would see that as “too humane”, but with a pen, check list, a needle and a paralytic.

Canada already proved it’s willing to dangle MAID (assisted suicide, murder, early death) in front of struggling veterans. I helped break these stories and bring our veterans stories to the masses. I’m interviewing more by the day, who’ve been offered death over life illegally.

VAC employees got caught offering MAID to veterans who never asked for it, including one trying to get a wheelchair ramp, my friend Christine.

So do me a favour spare us the “this is innocent” act.

Veterans have been coerced before, and it’s happening again right in front of your faces. Now the RCMP Veterans’ Association is rolling out the red carpet for the prevailers of death. The dark ones who feed on the souls of those who couldn’t bare to take another breath.

This is not an “opportunity.”
This is a sales pitch.
And the product is your death.

People keep asking me why veterans are being targeting? Because they’re the perfect targets, don’t you see?

Veterans, on the daily are dealing with chronic pain, combat trauma, moral injury, sanctuary trauma, disability, suicidality, lack of services, financial strain, bureaucratic obstruction and the government doesn’t just know know it, it caused it and it supports it and so do the MAID, pro death cult architects.

The MAID lobby knows veterans are “high-yield” candidates, and not because they want to die, but because the system has already worn them down, like water slowly dripping over the rocks. The Liberal government just cut OVER 4 BILLION in care for veterans. Veterans aren’t being shown the full picture, they aren’t given any hope. They’re being shown the early exit. What we call in some circles, being shown the path to “self-selection.”

This RCMP veterans email is a soft-touch version of coercion if I’ve ever seen one.
“We’re not telling you to choose MAID… we’re just putting the idea on the table, in a friendly community space, with a trusted expert who helps design the national MAID system.” Who’s job is to provide you with all the pathways to wanting to kill yourself.

That’s how you manipulate a vulnerable population without leaving fingerprints.

Dr. Gubitz isn’t neutral. He is the system.

Gubitz isn’t walking into that church as an independent medical educator.

He is walking in as the clinical gatekeeper for MAID in Nova Scotia, IE. HELL. He’s nothing more than one of the ideological engines behind national MAID training. A CAMAP insider, the organization pushing to expand and normalize MAID (assisted SUICIDE) at every level of “healthcare,” if you can even call it that anymore. CAMAP literally publishes guidance on how clinicians should bring up MAID as a care option. Not reactively. Proactively.

When you pair a vulnerable group with a man trained to present MAID as “equitable access,” your “information session” becomes a recruitment funnel.

HOW IS EVERYONE OK WITH THIS?

You are directly influencing and priming veterans for death under the banner of “support.” It’s an illusion, it’s predatory behaviour! It’s not informed consent in any way. It’s manipulation.

And holding it in a church? That’s strategic psychological laundering.

Churches are trusted spaces. They lower defences, help you to open your mind. Churches to most signal moral legitimacy so hosting a MAID talk in a church hall tells veterans “your community approves. Your faith approves this is acceptable, this is dignified, you don’t have to fight or feel guilty, ”

It cloaks a controversial, ethically fraught practice in community warmth. It’s taking advantage of the safety and sanctity of church.

That’s not an accident.
It’s a tactic.

This wreaks of propaganda wrapped in hospitality.

This is the playbook of a system that wants to solve suffering by eliminating the sufferer.

Canada won’t fix the care gaps. It won’t fix the mental-health crisis. It won’t fix VAC’s failures and it sure as hell won’t fix disability supports.

But it will happily fund a national MAID curriculum, expand eligibility, remove guardrails, and now apparently send MAID providers on a tour of vulnerable communities.

Veterans have always been canaries in Canada’s moral coal mine.

If the state can normalize MAID to the people who wore its uniform, it can normalize it to anyone. And that’s the point.

This story isn’t about one email. It’s about a culture shift engineered from the top down.

This is how you create acceptance – – >

First, make MAID look compassionate.

Then, bring it into community spaces.

Then, present to vulnerable groups.

Then, call it “support.”

Then, remove the stigma.

Then, remove the safeguards.

Then, expand eligibility.

Then, tell the public: “People are choosing MAID because it’s dignified.”

They leave out the part where the system helped manufacture despair.

Veterans deserve better than an invitation to die.

They deserve care, treatment, advocacy, and someone who doesn’t treat their suffering as a problem to be erased.

Not a church basement with coffee and a state-aligned MAID architect explaining their “options.”

This email isn’t benign.

It is a warning, one Canada should have heeded years ago.

If the country is comfortable offering death to the people who served it, it’s comfortable offering it to anyone.

And that’s exactly what’s happening.

Please feel free to call or email them and let them know how this makes you feel.

Digital ID

Leslyn Lewis urges fellow MPs to oppose Liberal push for mandatory digital IDs

Published on

From LifeSiteNews

By Anthony Murdoch

The Conservative Party MP told fellow members of Canada’s House of Commons that digital IDs lead to increased surveillance by the state that must be kept in check.

One of Canada’s most staunchly pro-life MPs warned Canadians to be “on guard” against a push by the ruling Liberal Party to bring forth Digital IDs, saying that they should be voluntary.

Earlier this week, Conservative Party Member of Parliament Leslyn Lewis told fellow MPs in the House of Commons that increased surveillance by the state must be kept in check.

“Every promise of transparency can become a tool of surveillance if not guided by the principles of freedom that we cherish,” she said.

“If everything of value becomes data, every aspect of our lives can become data to be recorded and monetized. That is why we must be on guard.”

Lewis made the comments in light of news, as reported by LifeSiteNews, that the federal government under Prime Minister Mark Carney will move ahead with digital identification for anyone seeking federal benefits, including seniors on Old Age Security.

Lewis told MPs that Canadians “deserve to know where data are stored, who profits from its use and whether freely opting out of systems including digital ID will remain a right in the digital era, especially when it comes to accessing essential taxpayer-funded services.”

“Without these answers, a trusted artificial intelligence ecosystem becomes a polite euphemism for centralized control,” she warned.

Lewis also noted that citizens should never be “reduced to mere consumers at the end of a bar code,” adding that “Human beings are not data points to be managed.”

“We are souls with a purpose. The future we build must reflect that truth,” she said.

As reported by LifeSiteNews, the Canadian government hired outside consultants tasked with looking into whether or not officials should proceed with creating a digital ID system for all citizens and residents.

As per a May 20 Digital Credentials Issue memo, as noted by Blacklock’s Reporter, the “adoption” of such a digital ID system may be difficult.

Canada’s Privy Council research from 2023 noted that there is strong public resistance to the use of digital IDs to access government services.

Nonetheless, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre sounded the alarm by promising to introduce a bill that would “expressly prohibit” digital IDs in Canada.

Digital IDs and similar systems have long been pushed by globalist groups like the World Economic Forum, an organization with which Carney has extensive ties, under the guise of ease of access and security.
