Based on your description, I don't think your father would have qualified for MAID in its current form - recipients must be able to provide informed consent immediately before receiving medical assistance in dying, with very narrow exceptions.

Dominion Review is a Canadian publication providing novel and dissenting perspectives on issues that matter to our country.

Oh.

And look at that, the site's editor has been published in...

-The Epoch Times (19 times!)

-The Financial Post (4 times)

-The Vancouver Sun (twice)

-The Western Standard

And other publications that I'm sure are highly esteemed and worth our time.

The overall advisory level remains green, "Take normal security precautions."

It's a good start. I hope they can keep it up.

Nah, you're probably right - I don't really pay attention to the meta because I don't care, but Intel has always been a bit of a black sheep.

The whole thing was ill-advised, and the execution makes it even worse.

In the picture, the white line crossing it out looks more like vandalism than part of the actual ad.
