Some quotes from me on the LG appointment case going up to the SCC: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

One of reasons I fear slippery slope into eugenics with assisted dying policies is how little outrage there is when disabled people are harmed
When DNRs are put on us without consent. When - like Stephanie Lavoie - we’re denied the care we need to survive & do MAiD instead

A thorough & persuasive argument by colleague @jenniferkoshan.bsky.social that gov't name & pronoun policies enable family violence against gender diverse youth &, so far as they are based on “parental rights” at the expense of the best interests of children, they have no legal basis.
