Most people, inside or outside of Canada, might have little to no idea about the Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) legislation or might have heard some vague headlines here and there but don’t really know the depth of the topic. I was one of those people. I knew it had been coming down the radical Left’s pipeline for some time, but I failed to take it seriously or learn more about its ramifications. Well, that changed very quickly for me when I encountered it first-hand. Long story short- here’s what happened.

About six months ago, my life went through a major transformation when I had a number of somewhat catastrophic events dumped on me, one after another, within a matter of days.

Thursday: Fired from my job of two years with zero notice or warning.

Friday: Call from my lawyer cautioning that I may have to leave the country due to my work visa being linked to the job I just lost.

Monday: Abrupt breakup after a seemingly healthy one-year long relationship

Tuesday: Lost a close family member suddenly.

Wednesday: Call from my Landlord mentioning he may sell his apartment and evict me.
