The Canadian government moves to advance free speech crackdowns and MAID deaths
About this episode
Meghan Murphy interviews Andrew Lawton about MAID in Canada and a new bill aimed at regulating hate speech.
At one time, Andrew Lawton was struggling with mental health issues, suicidal himself. Had MAID been an option for him then, he may well have taken it. But things got better, and now he is living a happy and fulfilling life, very glad he didn't take that irreversible step. But for many Canadians, they might not have the chance to recover. Andrew Lawton is the Member of Parliament for Elgin—St. Thomas—London South. Before being elected in 2025, Andrew was a broadcaster, journalist, author, and the managing editor of True North. He is the founder of the “I Got Better” campaign and a proponent of Bill C-218, "The Right to Recover Act."
