This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.
Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

He's clearly implying that this policy will eventually be misused to euthanize people.
canada went down the slippery slope real fucking fast from "hey maybe suffering people with no prospects for surviving a painful cancer should be able to peace out" to " hey you need a wheelchair ramp to your door to not be homeless, maybe you should just commit legal suicide"
