Part 1 (0:00-20:25) Why is Canada euthanizing the poor? This rather startling analysis from an Oxford scholar in the United Kingdom, cynically pointis out that while advocates of MAID suggest that the law is about ensuring Canadians human dignity and autonomy in dying, it saves the government hundreds of million dollars in long-term medical expenses whereas the cost of killing a Canadian is only $2,500.

Part 2 (20:26-25:43) In case you question the prevalence of the Canadian culture of death, consider this article from the Globe and Mail. As far as this author is concerned, the bad guys are not necessarily Putin or the invading Russian army. No, the real bad guys are the Polish who, despite housing, feeding and providing care for these refugees, are still restricting their access to abortion with their repressive laws protecting and upholding the sanctity of life.

For Ukraine's women refugees, Poland's strict abortion and birth-control laws hinder their next steps.
