An Ontario doctor met a 45-year-old man with Crohn’s disease once outside a Tim Hortons coffee shop and approved him for MAID euthanasia. Reasons included the patient lacking an active social network. The doctor then drove the man to an industrial funeral preparation facility where the procedure took place without any notification to the family.
The only consequence for the doctor was a verbal reprimand and six months of supervision. The tweet quotes the National Post reporting on the case and adds that when the state imposes such burdens citizens owe it repayment in kind.

I'm sure glad I don't live in Canada then
I lack any sort of social media or social network, active or otherwise
(At least it makes Christmas inexpensive :)
