Regarding MAID for mental illness: I had a close friend from all the way back to high school, (40 years), who suffered from treatment resistant, very severe, depression. It is a truly dreadful condition; we tried everything over the years, but nothing helped. He eventually committed suicide and as much as we would have stopped him if we could have there is no doubt in my mind that it was a reasonable decision.
Therefore, I do believe that in certain circumstances, with very strict controls, that there is a need for MAID for a very limited number of mental health conditions. It is certainly easier to just ban it, and desiging protocols around it will be tough, but we owe some of our fellow Canadians the right to access MAID.
More controlled immigration, cut the carbon tax altogether, defund CBC completely.
