A former federal election candidate of the so-called people's party of Canada, and her accomplices have taken over the board of a non-profit hospice centre in Delta BC and turned it into a far-right Christian-only organization. They have managed to align the former independent MLA, the current BC Liberal MLA, and the NDP health minister against them lol

quote:

the hospice board indicated that as part of its opposition to medical assistance in dying, it will ask the current membership to approve a more explicitly Christian mandate for the society.

It has become obvious that we must return to our roots and fully arm our Christian identity, wrote board president Angelina Ireland in a letter to the current membership.

The revised mandate would commit the society to fulfil Gods calling and to function as a Christian community that furthers biblical principles governed by the Triune God, a reference to the Trinity.


Its sad, whats happened to the hospice, said Huntington, who served as independent MLA for Delta South from 2009 to 2017, when I contacted her Tuesday. I believe you have to respect the morals and beliefs of other people.

She and others had sought to take back control of the society and to reunite Delta, Tsawwassen and Ladner behind a facility that was built with community donations large and small.

While the takeover of the society by a narrow religious element is as sad as Huntington says, it is not without a touch of the politically grotesque.

She supplied me with a link to a speech that the hospices Ireland gave in the United States in March of this year to a convention of the Christian-right group Bring American Back to Life.

Im pro-life, pro-God and pro-gun, Ireland began and finished with God bless President Trump.

She also advised the audience that the end game of the fight over the Delta hospice was communism cultural Marxism the destruction of the family.


Joining Huntington as unwitting agent of this reputed communist conspiracy is her successor in Delta South, B.C. Liberal MLA Ian Paton.

Paton put himself offside on the issue earlier this year, when he blasted Health Minister Adrian Dix for threatening to cut off provincial funding for the Delta Hospice and/or take over the facility.

The MLA accused Dix of literally stealing assets from the people of Delta that they worked so hard for so many years.

But under pressure from his own party, Paton retreated.

Upon reflection I realize my comments were not worded well, he confessed on social media.

I acknowledge and respect the decision to ensure that all citizens are given access to medical assistance in dying. I agree that publicly funded facilities should be prepared to offer this right to their patients.

When the issue flared up last week, Paton fired off protest letters to the society (I call on you to reconsider the membership application refusals) and to Dix himself.

There is fear among many of my constituents that proposed changes to the constitution of the hospice society will cause irreparable harm to their ability to perform palliative care services in our community, the MLA wrote the health minister.

Article content continued
What, if anything, can be done to support the health needs of my constituents and ensure that membership at the Delta Hospice Society remains open to all Delta citizens?

The letter went out on May 27. Two days later, Dix responded by reiterating what hed announced earlier in the year: Come next February, the province will cut off the $1.5 million in operating funds that flow to the Delta Hospice every year via the Fraser Health region.

The health minister added a strong hint that come next year, the health region (which owns the land on which the hospice is located) will take over the facility.

Fraser Healths job and my job is to ensure that Delta residents continue to have access to hospice services upon the termination of the contract with the Delta Hospice society, said Dix via a release from his office.

We continue to be committed to this and are working to make it happen.

For her part, Huntington would not be surprised if a takeover were the eventual outcome. But she also told me that the fight is not over.

Classrooms have been re-opened for two weeks, and within that time Quebec's Education Department announced 40 staff and students have tested positive for COVID-19, including ten students and a teacher from a classroom in Trois-Rivieres.

Quebec Premier Francois Legault insisted Friday that re-opening schools was the right decision.

Children are happy, parents are happy, Legault said at a press conference.
Just according to keikaku. (Translator's note: Keikaku means plan)

Man if only the right had an ounce of self respect and self reflection the fact that Kenney is stripping fundamental human rights then turning around and saying "Most Ethical oil" to the world would cause his supporters to ask him to resign in disgrace.
