"Kill em all". Canadian here. Disabled folks like myself have been taking this route for a while now simply because they can't afford to live any longer. That's pretty fucked. Canada doesn't want anything to do with us or the "junkies". They'd rather we die.

Like, truly, where was legality ever an issue if you were really considering suicide? Maybe that's just my lense

Bingo. The health administrator just wants to go “hey I don’t want to give this person naxolone but I also don’t want to face any consequences.”

The “legality” side of committing suicide in a drug addicts case is a red herring. It’s incredibly easy to kill yourself on fentanyl even accidentally. with or without legality.

This is only okay if the client asks for it under lucid understanding. And I support it. "Pushing" this from any government agent should be illegal. I will take this route when I reach a certain quality of life threshold.

It hasn't been pushed on anyone from a Healthcare provider(the only people legally allowed to recommend and administer)

Considering that just two weeks ago the canadian government for cheering for actual SS Nazis, that should be a surprise for no one.
