NATIVES AND NORTHERNERS ARE ESPECIALLY VULNERABLE TO THE EUTHANASIA- SUICIDE PUSH OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
At Cross Lake there has been a series of suicides. The Chiefs of three reserves in Saskatchewan have declared the situation a crisis as one shocking violent act after another leaves the communities in “ perpetual mourning”. The youth clearly understand the implications of the Supreme Court - Trudeau push for assisted dying. They have been taught to believe that the authority in their lives is the government. The government is saying loudly and clearly murder is okey. If a doctor can kill in a hospital then anything goes. Killing someone or yourself is no more serious than buying a bottle from a bootlegger instead of the government Liquor Board.
As one Indian Affairs nurse told a priest in northern Manitoba: “ The whole system is designed for death”. On reserves clinics are run by the Federal Government which sets the agenda. In provincial health care, medical staff at least give lip- service to patient consent. In the North there is no such pretence. Girls and women are pushed into abortion or sterilisation, or given dangerous drugs like depo- provera without their consent or at times without even their knowledge. A common expression of medical staff is “ we’re deciding what we’re going to do with you.” If you think that you should have a say in “what they’re going to do with you” you will be black listed as a trouble maker and will be denied health care to the point of being denied a prescription for a cheap antibiotic when it is clearly needed.
It is very common in La Ronge Hospital to have a relative sleep on the floor of the patient’s room. It is a very wise precaution .
For forty years marijuana has been epidemic in the North with few restrictions. If one objects and expects police action you will be branded as a trouble maker that should be kicked out by the “ higher ups”. Since childaren often start doing drugs at 12 years old there are many young adults with mental health issues. The increased acceptance of marijuana by the Federal government will increase the number of people with depression, hallucinations, hostile behaviour, learning difficulties and a host of anti- social behaviour. The report makes it clear that mental illness may make you a candidate for “ capital punishment “, that is a government approved lethal injection. This cycle of marijuana use that cause mental illnesses that is an excuse for death administration appears to be a thinly disguised genocide programme.
We are calling for an immediate and complete rejection of the government’s assisted dying report. We are also working to stop the Supreme Court dictatorship. The House of Commons rejected an euthanasia bill by a huge majority a few years ago. All Canadians especially we Northerners must be protected from this genocide.

It's Time to Clean Up our own province
JMJ
May 21,2014
At the Pro- Life Conference in Weyburn, Sask.we heard an arcane debate as to whether Margaret Sanger was a racist or just hated the poor. While going home, while passing Kenaston we were confonted with a billboard showing Premier Tommy Douglas in full bloom of sincere conviction. The words stated “ Don’t privatize health care.” Margaret Sanger was a eugenist. She believed that the “ unfit” should be sterilised, that people should only be allowed to breed with governments permission. Tommy Douglas, socialist who brought in public medical care was a eugenist. He believed that the unfit should be sterilised, put into sex segregated institutions, that Natives should be segregated and left to die. He used mental hospitals for political prisons and as a vehicle to take away private farms. He was a racist, despised Catholics, immigrants and large families. So what do we in Saskatchewan? We turn him into an icon of virtue and name a high school on the West side of Saskatoon.
Not a wimper of protest from anyone.
The Pro- Life newspaper carried a story from Texas about a young man who gave his girl friend an abortificient without her permission and got a life sentence. In the North it is a regular occurance to give abortificients without the mother’s knowledge or permission. Nobody is interested.
In the 70's a feminist slogan was No Forced Sterilisation. The Pope and conservative Catholics were in total agreement. Natives and others are often sterilised without their knowledge or permission. They are often told that their children will be taken away from them and they will be cut off welfare if they don’t submit to sterilisation. Nobody is interested Some alleged pro- lifers think that’s fine.
A teacher was telling me how she had her mother euthanised. The mother was moved from St. Brieux nursing home ts to Watson nursing home. As told by her: The staff moved her with a hoist which was not done at St. Brieux. Her quality of care was decreased. Thus she was put-down. The woman stated “ She ( her mother) was my best friend.”
A speaker at the Pro- Life rally in Regina 2013 stated that health professionals being pushed into abortion involvement may be a problem IN THE FUTURE.( emphasis mine) . It has been a problem for at least 40 years. People have been denied access to medical school because they are known to be prolife. Nursing students and nursing staff are constantly pushed into involvement. What is going on? Will these situations continue to be ignored in the future as they have been in the past.
In 1980 we puplished an article about medical staff at the U or S using the brains of aborted babies for research. No prolife paper or any other media outlet picked it up. No one challenged us publicly although we were ready with factual information. It certainly brought on a lot of persecution against my husband’s career in the Health Sciences. The head of campus pro- life response to the persecution was” Protestants are stupid.” We were at the time Protestant.
We are a pro- life people but we want to hear about atrocities elsewhere instead of our own sordid history and present anti- life policies against our neighbours. Gay
