EFC MAiD brochure goes viral
Have you seen the EFC’s brochure, Euthanasia in Canada? It’s been getting attention on social media. Many of the comments confirm our concerns that many Canadians aren’t aware of how the euthanasia law has already been expanded and that more changes have been proposed. See the EFC’s latest blog, “Unpacking the EFC euthanasia brochure that’s going viral.”
