Canada Killing Prisoners

Canada is letting prisoners end their lives through assisted suicide decades after banning capital punishment, according to newly released federal data.

In 2025 alone, 12 federal inmates requested assisted suicide, which Canada calls Medical Aid in Dying (MAiD), according to an Order Paper response from the Correctional Service of Canada.

Since 2018, at least 15 inmates have died by assisted suicide while in federal custody, according to data reported by the Daily Mail. Over this period, 67 prisoners applied for assisted suicide after it was legalized nationwide in 2016. 

Canada abolished the death penalty for civilian crimes in 1976 and removed it from military law in 1998. Life imprisonment replaced capital punishment for murder and other serious offenses. Even so, the state now permits prisoners to request physician-assisted death while serving their sentences.

The Correctional Service of Canada has reported an increase in assisted suicide requests following the expansion of eligibility rules under the country’s liberal government.

Compassion and Choices Suffers Damaging Court Loss in New Jersey

By Ian McIntosh (pictured here)

For some it may be unthinkable at any time of the year, let alone during the holiday season, that there is a cadre of relentless professional assisted suicide advocacy organizations seeking more efficient ways for people with disabilities to kill themselves during this national moment when Medicare, SNAP, and “streamlined” federal departments (i.e. HUD ) poised to present increased difficulties to for our country’s most vulnerable population to live as 2026 looms.

Against this harrowing backdrop, some great news: Our co-plaintiff’s sister organization, the Patients Rights Action Fund (PRAF), provided the following encouraging update:

 “A federal appeals court has delivered a damaging blow to the Compassion and Choices lawsuit seeking to eliminate New Jersey’s requirement that only residents have ability to request lethal drugs under its assisted suicide law. The denial of this request upholds the decision by a district court judge earlier this year to maintain New Jersey’s residency requirement.

Trump Announces Victory in Venezuela

“All Venezuelan military capacities were rendered powerless,” as U.S. forces “successfully captured Maduro in the dead of night,” he announced.

Trump said both Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, had been captured and would face legal charges in the Southern District of New York.

He called the operation “one of the most stunning, effective, and powerful displays of American military might and competence in American history.”

“It was an assault against a heavily fortified military fortress in the heart of Caracas,” Venezuela’s capital. He said no operation like it has been “seen since World War II.”

“Not a single American service member was killed and not a single piece of American equipment was lost,” Trump added.

He said U.S. forces were ready to stage a second and larger attack, but that seems unnecessary at this point.

The Trial of My Life Begins Monday

There comes to a point in every man's life when you wonder how history will remember you ... .No matter what happens in my RIGGED trial, I know with absolute confidence that history will say: “Rudy W. Giuliani was a fighter.”

I fought the Mafia, I fought violent criminals, I fought corruption, I fought the Deep State agents who tried to frame and destroy my client – President Trump.

Now, at 81 years old, rather than fighting for someone else’s freedom and justice, I find myself fighting for my own.

Wisconsin Judge Convicted of Obstructing Arrest of Immigrant Resigns as GOP Threatens Impeachment

By the Associated Press, Josh Funk 

Embattled Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan, who was convicted of obstruction last month for helping an immigrant evade federal officers, has sent her resignation letter to the governor.

The letter was sent Saturday. Republicans had been making plans to impeach her ever since her Dec. 19 conviction. A spokesperson for Gov. Tony Evers, a Democrat, said his office received Dugan’s letter, and he would work to fill the vacancy without delay.

Dugan wrote that over the past decade she handled thousands of cases with “a commitment to treat all persons with dignity and respect, to act justly, deliberately and consistently, and to maintain a courtroom with the decorum and safety the public deserves.”
