Big shocker Veteran’s Affairs is at it again, the Canadian government, since 2022, is failing our veterans in the most disgusting and disgraceful way possible: by offering them death care instead of healthcare! But Kelsi?! didn’t they say they aren’t doing that anymore?? Yes they sure did, once again Liberal lies. Are we surprised honestly?

In a chilling repeat of a disturbing trend, another Canadian combat veteran has been offered medically assisted suicide (MAiD) instead of genuine support and treatment. My question is when did ending lives become an acceptable, even routine, solution for our veterans suffering from trauma, PTSD, or any other physical and mental health challenges? When did offering death become an easier alternative than providing the comprehensive care our veterans desperately deserve, care we know exists but are unwilling to use or fund.

Veterans, in my opinion deserve compassion, proper treatment, respect, dignity, and unwavering support, but thats just me I guess. We should NEVER be offering an off-ramp to the grave. This continues to be a disturbing, even horrifying trend that not even the Veteran Affairs Minister is aware of. To think that some government case managers, those specifically entrusted with the sacred duty of caring for our veterans, would even contemplate suicide as an option rather than investing the necessary time, resources, and genuine effort into authentic healing and recovery is insane. Our veterans fought and continue to fight for life and liberty and now for their own country to later suggest ending their life. This is one of the dangers on continuing to talk about MAiD as some “life saving amazing program!”

This story, not one we haven’t heard before but were promised would “never happen again” to a sinister and growing pattern, the Liberal government is a profound failure on several fronts. Failing in its moral, ethical, and basic human obligations to protect and care for those who willingly put their lives on the line for our freedoms. I do love how they continue to want to send us to other countries to fight, while pulling this bullshit and asking.. why are retention rates so low?! How could that be?!

What they should be asking themselves is how can we possibly trust a system that suggests death as a viable, acceptable solution? The very thought undermines the trust veterans and their families should rightly place in their government and healthcare system.

So, what can we do to rectify this continued failure? Fire everyone? Restart?

First, a good place to start would be to stop selling veteran’s out to Manulife Insurance and ACTUALLY support them! Next, there must be absolute, unequivocal accountability at every level. (Which we know won’t happen, but hey I’m just a combat veteran who is preaching accountability, something this government knows absolutely nothing about”

Case managers should never, under any circumstances, be authorized or empowered to suggest medical suicide. These case managers need to be made examples of because in 2022 when they were caught the first time, not a damn thing was done.

Counselling suicide should be crystal clear, explicitly stated in operational guidelines, and communicated with zero ambiguity. The word is NO! WE NEVER SUGGEST SOMEONE DIES instead of helping them. Next I would implement mandatory, rigorous oversight and thorough mental health training programs specifically designed around trauma-informed care, ensuring that case managers fully understand their critical role in protecting, preserving, and supporting veterans’ lives.

Additionally, complete transparency in reporting any incidents or breaches is non-negotiable, alongside swift and public accountability measures, and what I really mean is heads on spikes. There must be an unequivocal, zero tolerance policy for anyone who recommends death over dedicated, thorough, and compassionate care and support.

Lastly, why is the VA not asking Veterans what they really want to see change? Why is this only done behind closed doors, where only government officials whom not a single one is a veteran by the way are speaking for us. We need to be actively involving veterans themselves in shaping our policies and procedures that directly impact their care, we need to ensure our voices and experiences are genuinely heard and respected.

This is not simply about revising policy, this is fundamentally about basic human decency, dignity, and respect.

It is far beyond time for Canada to truly step up, reform its priorities, and genuinely care for its veterans. Anything less than complete dedication to safeguarding their lives, health, and well-being is a betrayal of every sacrifice our veterans have ever made.

And trust me, the majority of Veterans in this country including myself are nothing but ashamed of this government, how they treat us and how they have hung every single one of us out to dry.

At this point, I’m shocked they don’t just mail us the noose’s themselves.
