Today I remembered a dystopian novel I've read a few years ago called "The Giver." It takes place in a dystopian society but one that paints itself as an utopia. One with no war, poverty, or suffering, at the price of free choice and emotions. (similar to how canada tries to paint itself as a "post-national utopia").
However, that's not the main similarity I was remind of. In the book there the keepers of the memories and events of the past are called Receivers. The previous receiver before the main character couldn't handle seeing the violence of past humans and commited suicide by EUTHANIZATION, since their society allows medical suicide. Pretty much predicting canada's MAID as the book was released in 1993 while MAID was legalized in 2016.
So yeah, Canada is a literal dystopia. Even if you ignore the 1984 style censorship state it's still very similar to other dystopias. The book also has non-receiver characters see the world in black and white, again similar to canada's whole, post-national "identity."
TLDR: MAID was predicted by a book called "The Giver" and books besides 1984 predict canada's current dystopia.
you have to remember that
the Sue Rodriguez case - a woman with ALS who was trying to upend the prohibition on assisted suicide and narrowly failed in a 5-4 Supreme Court decision that same year - was a current affair when that book came out. She eventually had herself ended illegally anyway,
probably by (nobody confirmed this but I STRONGLY suspect it) Dr. Ellen Wiebe - a sociopath female version of Dr. Jack Kevorkian who loves abortion more than life itself and also killing people "compassionately" with MAID who founded "Right To Die Canada". Sue had former NDP bundles of sticks MP Svend Robinson by her side when this happened. The doctor was left anonymous because they could have faced criminal charges if they were identified.
Her lawyer tried to argue that the section of the Criminal Code 241(b) allegedly violated the right to section 7 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms - "life, liberty, and security of the person" and Section 12 protection against "Cruel and Unusual Punishment" as well as Section 15 ("equality").
When it was overturned in 2015, the Supreme Court judges in
Carter v Canada (AG) ruled that the prohibition against suicide violated Section 7 (which is
ridiculous, because killing yourself is the opposite of the right to life, and death does NOT give you security nor liberty).
Technically in Spain and Portugal because of school. But the distinction doesn't really matter, in both places the rent is insane because there's 20 jeets living in an apartment and they can afford 2000 euros in rent if they split. The average person can't.
Also because of tourism and old Americans and Swedish people buying houses but that's a whole separate issue that I don't think Canada has. I read about Chinese people hoarding houses in Canada but it was a while ago and I don't remember the details of it.
In British Columbia particularly, chinese drug dealers and "whales" (Hong Kong Chinese businessmen gambling with drug money to "launder" it) have been buying up British Columbia real estate since the early 1990s. The NDP was complicit then and they're complicit now. They are so complicit, the current NDP Premier David Eby has an "advisor" who's directly tied to the Communist Chinese Party. It's like dude, do you think that guy is giving you GOOD advice?!
REALLY? Could you ANY MORE obvious about this please?
