Yeah, I was recently reading about the case of a doctor back in 2010 who was permanently vegetablized in a car accident. His family refused the advice of experts in BC and Alberta and insisted on paying for rehabilitation treatment out of pocket even though it was clear he was gone up there. They then sued the medical system for refusing to pay for said rehab treatments. Watching videos of this guy being dressed up like a doll and run down a ski hill while his family cheered and he's obviously completely unaware of what was going on was fuuuuuuucked up. Reading blog comments by other families pulling the same crap on their own children was horrifying. Like, I get that it sucks to have your child snatched away by the whims of fate but holy gently caress, the lengths some people will go to are nothing short of perverse and the system needs stronger protections against such insanity.

I watch his interview with Chong. It took place in a loud hallway at some type of event. Chong had to ask who he was with, so it doesn't seem like he had any idea of who Johnson was.

It was a private conversation I had with a defense attorney several years back. She said it's demoralizing to the office when people are having their cases dismissed based on charter violations because while our charter is a very good thing it sucks because for someone to get off on a charter violation it means that someone on the prosecution / law enforcement side of things hosed up and didn't do their job right by following the rules, either due to incompetence or lack of resources. I'm pretty sure she mentioned that it seemed to be happening more often.

It's maladaptive as gently caress and you can't blame anyone at the centre of the problem for being too invested to see just how messed up what they're doing is, but it's good (?) that the health care system generally (??) refused to enable it any further than necessary.

Maybe we need some sort of Death Panels or something and counselling for those who are confronted with sudden loss. The only person who even tried to talk to us about the loss of a loved one was from Organ Donation which actually had a backlash as my Mom was not ready and she was a bit pushy on finally letting go. In the end she decided against donation and thus not only was someone spared from receiving at least a good heart but my Mom still has trouble with the loss. I keep trying to push her into talking to someone but really there should be someone provided to talk. Also the Doctor was kinda a dick even though he was technically right.

If the recent spate of faith-based parental manslaughter and the uptick in third-world medical conditions spreading across countries that offer first-world medical care is any indication, it would seem that there's just no talking sense to some people. Faint hope, things medicine can't explain that happens, "cure invented tomorrow", some god stuff, any soure of hope no matter how bizarre and irrational will always be more convincing than those nice people from the department of thanatology with their charts and graphs and long Greek words.

My dad died there, the staff were great and all but there was fuckall "dignified" about it and it would've been far better for everyone if they'd just gassed the poor guy a month before they wheeled him out.

There's going to be an announcement regarding the E&N rail corridor in Victoria this morning. Possible conversion to a BRT line? Maybe just a train or two at rush hour? Knowing the BCLP and the CRD it will be an announcement to start consultation in 2020 contingent on the libs winning the election with possible construction starting 2030. But I've got my fingers crossed!

She was never a crown herself. She said it was demoralizing to the crowns office not because they thought the charter was bad, but because when the crown loses a case due to a charter violation it often means that the case was lost because either they or the police hosed something up or the system was so backlogged that they had no way to ensure the case came to trial in a reasonable amount of time and it was a bummer for them to lose a case because of circumstances like this. As for the Crowns role being seeking truth and not just convictions, I may be biased because of my own experiences and the experiences of people close to me but I'm calling bullshit. They don't give a gently caress about truth as long as they can stay within the rules of the system and get the accused person either convicted or to sign a plea.

Why wouldn't you handle your will, power of attorney, etc. early in life? I got them done before I was 25, and I already made some changes on one occasion. You never know when you might have an accident that leaves you a vegetable or kills you, and it's good to make sure that your wishes are followed explicitly in either event.

The Butcher posted:Ugh this is like watching an NHL player running sick dangles around a wobbly 6 year old. Over and over again. This is every Michael Smyth election column ever. Christy did something. If the NDP takes a stand, they fell into her clever trap. If they're cautious, they fell into her devious trap. Do not consider at any point whether what Christy did or said was good or useful in any way; secret BC Liberal sources, who are definitely not Rich Coleman, assure Michael that this was all according to plan and therefore Christy is a brilliant puppet master and the NDP are foolish saps. Then in a couple years, when things go south and there's not an election imminent, Smyth and Vaughn Palmer can write righteous stories about the liberals' incompetence. It's not like they approved of those things, they were just talking about her political acumen. They could just write that Christy's full of poo poo and cozying up to a terrible, company about to collapse under the weight of its own malevolence towards its customers and employees, but I guess Postmedia isn't interested in that story for some reason.
