National Post: ‘We’re not ready’: Psychiatrists clash as deadline for opening MAID for mental illness looms
November 6, 2023 —Too much is being left in the hands of MAID assessors and providers, said Dr. Jitender Sareen, department head of psychiatry at the University of Manitoba. “Offering people death instead of appropriate treatments really goes against what we as a society should be doing.”Sareen said guidance is also lacking on how or whether doctors can distinguish between someone who is actively suicidal and someone who is making a rational request for MAID but who isn’t in a period of crisis.

Government documents project Liberals' gun buyback to cost nearly $2B, double minister's estimates
Over three years after it was announced, the federal government has yet to release any sound estimates on what the expropriation would cost taxpayers. That number is higher than estimates given out during the 2019 federal election by Blair, who pegged the cost of a buyback at between $400 million and $600 million. The National Post reached out to both Public Safety Canada and the office of Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc for comment. A 2021 report by the Parliamentary Budget Officer put the cost of a federal gun grab as high as $756 million. Earlier this year, Public Safety Canada announced a $700,000 partnership with the Canadian Sporting Arms and Ammunition Association (CSAAA) to facilitate compensation for retailers left with millions of dollars in unsellable merchandise.
