In June 2014 Quebec’s
Assembly became Canada’s first legislature
to legalize euthanasia. The Bill, introduced by the
Parti
Quebecois then moved forward by
Liberal Premier Couillard’s government, passed 94
to 22 with no abstentions.
The Act
Respecting End of Life Care was the fruit of
years of labour by pressure groups like Quebec’s
chapter of Dying
with Dignity
and the 600-member Quebec
Palliative Care Association (QCPA)
whose General Manager also presides over the
Alliance of Palliative Care Homes.
QCPA’s Manifesto extols
citizens’ rights to a “good death” and to
professional counseling
regarding end-of-life options.
On the eve of the vote Quebec’s
College of Physicians endorsed euthanasia;
something neither the Canadian Medical Association
nor any other provincial College had
done.
Similarly, the Archdiocese
of Quebec parted with the many Canadian
Catholic clerics who deny funeral sacraments to
those who
die via euthanasia lest they endorse
sinful suicide. Quebec’s euthanized are buried as
per normal; an approach the Archdiocese
claims complies with Pope Francis’s
teachings.
Quebec’s medically-assisted death
squads waited for the green llght from Quebec’s Court
of Appeal then, between
December 10, 2015 and March 31, 2019, either through
medically-assisted death or terminal sedation, they
terminated 5,856
Quebecers’ lives. Around 4% of all Quebec
deaths are now induced.
This percentage is not high enough
for some. At a November
29, 2019 presser Quebec Health Minister Danielle
McCann, flanked by
three supportive opposition
politicians, advocated comprehensive soliciting of
advanced consents from the elderly so that should
these folk later lose capacity to
legally consent, they could be dispatched without
much ado.
McCann went on to comment on the
status of a Quebec Superior Court ruling rejecting
the Criminal Code’s criterion that a patient’s
“death
must be reasonably foreseeable” before
euthanasia is permitted. Quebec never appealed this
ruling. (The matter is now in
limbo with pundits expecting Ottawa
to delete this troublesome criterion mid-July.)
Thus, the COVID-19 (C-19) response
roadshow hit Montreal just as their euthanasia lobby
forged a momentous compact among judges,
bishops, politicians and the regional
medical oligarchy. Of course, this euthanasia drive
is not the sole key to unlocking Quebec’s peculiar
C-19 response; but it must be held in
mind; …and what a peculiar response Quebec’s has
been!
-
Quebec’s 8.5
million residents constitute 22.6% of Canada’s
population (37.6 million).
- Quebec’s
3,483 C-19 fatalities constitute 62.5% of the
Canadian total (5,595).
- Ontario,
population 14.6 million, reports 1,858 C-19
deaths.
- The rest of
Canada (pop 14.5 million) reports 345 deaths.
In terms of C-19 deaths-per-million
citizens: Quebec registers 409; Ontario registers
127; and the rest of Canada: 24.
Officially, 75% of Quebec’s C-19 fatalities
occurred inside nursing homes
Four million Quebecers reside in
Greater Montreal. Another 2 million reside within a
100-kilometre radius of Montreal. This combined
area witnessed 90%
of Quebec’s C-19 fatalities partly because this
area hosts most of Quebec’s 2,600 long-term care
facilities
(“nursing homes”). Said facilities
are mostly run by the provincial government.
Officially, 75% (2,601) of Quebec’s
C-19 fatalities occurred inside nursing homes. There
is clear evidence
of under-counting of nursing
home fatalities. Nursing home plus
geriatric ward fatalities exceed 90% of all
fatalities.
Official figures do transpose nicely
upon reported ages
of C-19 fatalities. Almost 40% of fatalities
were aged 80 to 90. A third were over 90.
Quebec reported its first C-19 death
on March 18. Six of Quebec’s first 9 fatalities
happened in nursing homes. By March 27 nursing
homes were obvious biohazards.
On April 1 officials revealed that
519 nursing homes harboured at least one C-19 case.
On April 8 news broke that 115 of 250
residents of a Laval nursing home were C-19
positive. Thirteen residents there had perished.
Ambulance crews discovered residents malnourished,
dehydrated and covered with feces
On April 10 ambulance crews
discovered residents malnourished, dehydrated and
covered with
feces at Dorval’s Residence
Herron. Crews found corpses Herron’s staff were
unaware of. A dispute erupted between provincial
health officials and the
ambulance service over how many body-bags had been
dragged from Herron and over how many of those bags
contained C-19 fatalities. Herron, which
averages 4 deaths per month, had 31 deaths in 14
days. One hundred-fifty residents and staff tested
positive.
On April 13 authorities noted a government-run home
in Lasalle had 26 C-19 fatalities and 351 cases.
At an April
14 presser Quebec’s Director of Public Health stated
that he had originally operated on the assumption
that asymptomatic C-19 carriers were
not contagious. This derriere covering arrived just
as news outlets dropped bombs like:
“…as in
Italy and Spain, Quebec focussed on freeing up
hospital and ICU capacity, and in some cases
preventatively transferred seniors out of
hospitals
into care facilities. At the same time, it
established recommendations to those care
facilities restricting the transfer of residents
back to
hospitals
should they fall ill. The result has been a
humanitarian disaster of still undetermined
proportions…”
Health authorities knew intimately where they
were sending and confining these patients.
Problems at Quebec nursing homes have been
studied ad nauseam.
Many homes have crowded communal dining
rooms and narrow hallways. Many have wards with
multiple beds per room and shared toilets. Most
have
residents incapable of following elementary
hygiene protocols meandering about the
building. Staff
often work at more than one home and
continued to do
so during the pandemic.
On April 30
the government reported 6,603 C-19 cases
among nursing home residents.
Quebec’s elderly C-19 sufferers were sent to
and/or confined in circumstances approaching the
opposite of quarantine. The contagious were not
isolated
and well-tended. They were herded into
cloistered proximity with the most vulnerable,
then abandoned.
Quebec has 9,280 C-19 cases aged over 70. Quebec
is only treating 1,763 C-19 sufferers in
hospital (many of whom caught C-19 whilst in
geriatric wards).
Hence, thousands of C-19 patients continue to
languish inside bio chambers alongside tens of
thousands of elderly neighbors.
A wise man once opined: never presume there is a
conspiracy behind any disaster that sheer
stupidity or mere incompetence might explain.
That said: are we to be blind to the fact that
the demographic cohort which the euthanasia
boosters have long sought to snuff-out is the
same cohort now
being extinguished by C-19?
Beyond the gormless promises and thespian
commiserations proffered by Legault’s team one
espies a shadow party of Montreal-area
politico-medical elites
who during the years immediately preceding the
pandemic obsessively clamoured for the social
licence and legal permission to exterminate the
precise
people who are now dropping like flies under
their watch.
The hand that signs death certificates also signs:
stay-at-home orders, bans on public assembly,
postponements of elections, mobilizations
of National Guards, and socially-transformative
fiscal deficits
COVID-19 and the Democratic Tribe of
the Boston-Newark Megalopolis
On January 9,
2020 the World Health Organization (WHO)
alerted authorities worldwide of a potential
novel coronavirus outbreak. Three weeks of
investigations
and conferences later (January 30) WHO
declared a global public health emergency.
Regions which subsequently posted
extraordinarily high COVID-19
(C-19) fatalities did not encounter
notable domestic C-19 cases until
mid-February. Their governments, therefore,
had weeks to plan pandemic responses.
Such plans required death certification
protocols.
Collectively, these 5 states have 10 US
Senators. All are Democrats, most are prominent
The 10-city Boston-Newark
Megalopolis spans 30,000 square kilometres along
America’s northeast coast and hosts 36 million
people.
Ninety percent of New Jersey, New
York, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode
Island citizens reside in this Megalopolis. The
area’s
transportation and energy
infrastructures are well-integrated, as is its
commercial realm. Politically, it’s effectively
a one-party state.
Rhode Island’s Democratic Party
has ruled for a half century. Currently, all
statewide executive officers are Democrats
including Governor
Gina Raimondo. The Party holds
super-majorities in the Senate (33/38) and House
(66/75).
New York’s Democratic Party holds
all statewide executive offices including the
Governorship (Andrew Cuomo). They occupy 40 of
63 Senate
seats and 106 of 150 Assembly
seats. They have maintained an Assembly majority
since 1974.
New Jersey’s Democratic State
Committee enjoys comfortable majorities in
Senate and Assembly. Governor Phil Murphy is
Chair of the
Democratic Governors Association.
This wealthy former Goldman Sachs banker served
as Finance Chair for the Democratic National
Committee.
Connecticut’s Democratic State
Central Committee controls Connecticut’s Senate
(22/36) and House (91/151). Democratic Governor
‘Ned’
Lamont (grandson of J.P. Morgan
CEO, Thomas Lamont) pours tens of millions from
his own pocket into campaigns. CT Dems control
all
statewide executive offices.
Massachusetts’ Democratic Party
is a black sheep for failing to retain the
Governor’s office. Republican Charlie Baker won
by a hair in 2014,
then handily in 2018.
Nevertheless, Baker faces veto-proof Democratic
super-majorities in Senate and House.
Collectively, these 5 states have
10 US Senators. All are Democrats, most are
prominent.
Third-term New York Senator Chuck
Schumer (twice elected with a 70% vote) Chairs
the Democratic Caucus. Massachusetts Senator
Elizabeth Warren is Caucus
Vice-Chair.
Rhode Island Senator Jack Reed
(elected with 70% of the vote) is Ranking Member
on the Senate Armed Services Committee.
New Jersey’s Bob Menendez
(formerly Union City’s Mayor) is Ranking Member,
and former Chair, of the Senate Foreign
Intelligence Committee.
Jersey’s junior Senator, Corey
Booker, served two terms as Newark’s Mayor.
Connecticut Senator Richard
Blumenthal, one of the wealthiest senators, was
Connecticut Attorney General for 20 years. He
sits on the
Commerce, Science and Technology
Committee.
(Blumenthal, Warren, and Kirsten
Gillibrand (NY) adorn the Senate Committee on
Aging. Warren and Gillibrand promote euthanasia.
Not so sanguine is Blumenthal but
some of his CT Dems have pushed euthanasia
legislation since 2013. Massachusetts Dems
placed a
‘Death with Dignity’ question on
the 2012 ballot (defeated by a 1% margin). New
York Dems sought to litigate a right to
assisted-suicide
until 2015 when they proposed a
legislative route. New Jersey’s euthanasia law
came into force August 1, 2019. Five Rhode
Island
Democrats co-introduced an
assisted-suicide bill on January 30, 2020.)
Massachusetts, Rhode Island and
Connecticut send only Democrats to the House of
Representatives. Ten of 12 New Jersey Reps are
Democrats as are 21 of New York’s
27 Reps. The Megalopolis’s Congressional
legation includes Joe Kennedy III and Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez.
Nine of New York State’s 10
largest cities have Democratic mayors. Bill de
Blasio won New York City’s mayoralty by a
landslide; carrying 48
of 51 Councillors with him.
All 10 cities inside the
Megalopolis have Democrat mayors. New Haven has
had only Democrat mayors since 1954; Newark
since 1953.
Minus a forgotten three-year
blip, Hartford has had Democrat mayors for 72
years. Boston mayors have been Democrats for 90
years straight.
State and municipal employees are hand-picked by
Democratic Party functionaries
State and municipal employees are
hand-picked by Democratic Party functionaries.
Where workforces are organized, unions support
Democrats.
State and municipal governments
play leading healthcare roles.
NYC Health + Hospitals is
America’s largest public healthcare provider.
Its insurance plan covers 500,000 New Yorkers
including all NYC
government employees. It also
serves the city’s immense uninsured population
and funds hundreds of clinics and home support
organizations.
NYC Health + Hospitals owns 11
acute care hospitals and 5 long-term care
facilities. They treat 1.4 million patients
annually on a budget
of $10.5 billion.
New York State’s Department of
Health employs another 4,700 doctors, nurses,
and lab technicians etc.
Massachusetts’ Department of
Public Health runs 4 multi-specialty hospitals
and 24 bureaus with titles like: Infectious
Disease and Laboratory
Sciences, Preparedness and
Emergency Management, and Registry of Vital
Records and Statistics.
Boston’s Public Health Commission
employs an additional 1,100 medical
professionals.
New Jersey’s Department of Health
enforces regulations onto 2,200 healthcare
facilities (including 375 long-term care
facilities) whilst delivering
services related to: vital
statistics, surveillance systems, aging and the
uninsured.
The Boston-Newark
Megalopolis’s medical complex is designed,
funded and run by Democratic operatives
Scores of Democrat-led activist
groups representing doctors, nurses and patients
agitate for expansions to public healthcare.
Unions are
particularly effective. The
42,000-member New York State Nursing Association
brays about its legions of door-knockers and
phone-callers who
assist Democratic candidates
during elections. SEIU’s 450,000-member
Healthcare Workers East is militantly
pro-Democrat.
The Boston-Newark Megalopolis’s
medical complex is designed, funded and run by
Democratic operatives. They oversee the
coroners, medical
examiners, attending physicians,
nurse practitioners and statisticians comprising
the Megalopolis’s death certification system.
This Megalopolis did not launch
the C-19 deaths exaggeration crusade. The
Lombards issued the pronunciamento on February
26. Madrid and
France joined two weeks later;
Belgium soon after.
Notable C-19 cases arrived in the
Boston-Newark Megalopolis mid-February. Their
first C-19 death came March 14. Over the next
two weeks
C-19 death reports popped-up
across the area. By then New York reported over
1,000 deaths; New Jersey over 100. This period
witnessed the
rise of obvious efforts to write
“COVID-19” onto as many death certificates as
plausible. Results:
These 5 states (with 12% of
America’s population) post 44,546 (55.2%) of
America’s 80,789 C-19 deaths.
These 5 states’ combined
population equals that of California’s (40
million). Having greater contact with Asia than
the Northeast, California
reported C-19 cases earlier. Now,
California records only 2,717 C-19 deaths.
Utah, Nebraska, Arkansas, South
Dakota, North Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho,
West Virginia, North Carolina, New Hampshire,
Maine,
Hawaii, Alaska, Vermont and
Tennessee collectively have a population of 40
million. They report 1,553 C-19 deaths; roughly
half that of
Connecticut.Texas, population 28
million, reports 1,133 C-19 deaths.
Boston-Newark Megalopolis’s
death certification agencies are jacking-up
their C-19 body-counts
The best explanation for these
incredible discrepancies is that Boston-Newark
Megalopolis’s death certification agencies are
jacking-up their
C-19 body-counts.
Some legerdemain is glaring. On
April 14 New York City Health Commissioner added
3,778 C-19 deaths. These people had died in
previous
weeks, often at home. None were
tested. In making this pronouncement the
Commissioner described her marching orders as:
“We are focussed on ensuring
that every New Yorker who dies because of
Covid-19 gets counted.”
The number of “presumptive” C-19
deaths buried in the stats remains unknown, but
looms large.
The main method of inflating C-19
fatalities is to insist, in every instance, that
a positive test for C-19 warrants listing C-19
as a
“cause of death.” This illogic
also applies to presumed (untested) cases. New
York funeral directors express dismay at the
cavalier writing of “Covid-19” on death
certificates.
Between March 7 and 10 all five
Governors declared “states of emergencies.” The
next two weeks saw a ratcheting up of curfews
and
closures culminating in sweeping
lockdowns decreed firstly (March 20) by Governor
Cuomo and lastly by Governor Raimondo (March
28).
Certain mayors, notably Boston’s
Marty Walsh and Providence’s Jorge Elorza,
pushed ahead of their Governors.
The hand that signs death
certificates also signs: stay-at-home orders,
bans on public assembly, postponements of
elections, mobilizations
of National Guards, and
socially-transformative fiscal deficits.
The Megalopolis’s Democratic
Parties exploit this manufactured crisis to ram
through unpopular policies and to further cement
themselves into power.
