Trudeau says discussing medically assisted death with veteran ‘unacceptable’

Justin Trudeau says the discussion of medical assistance in dying (MAiD) between a veteran and a Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) employee is “completely unacceptable.”Speaking in Stephenville, N.L., on Tuesday during a trip with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Trudeau noted an investigation is underway into the incident, which has sparked anger toward the government department assigned to provide supports to former military members.“That is not the duty of care we have toward veterans,” the prime minister told reporters.“There is a full investigation going on as to how that happened, and we are going to ensure it never happens again.” Ottawa orders ‘full and thorough’ probe into veteran assisted dying discussion The remarks were Trudeau’s first since Global News reported on Aug. 16 that a VAC service agent had brought up medically-assisted dying, unprompted, during a conversation with a combat veteran who was seeking treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder and a traumatic brain injury.Global News is not identifying the veteran who was seeking treatment due to privacy concerns but has spoken directly with the individual, who says the service agent brought up MAiD repeatedly, even after the veteran asked the service agent to stop.The veteran said he felt pressured as a result.VAC said last week it was looking into the matter and promised the “appropriate administrative actions” would be taken, without providing further details.On Aug.

Trudeau and family head to Costa Rica for 2-week vacation

Justin Trudeau is heading to Costa Rica for a two-week vacation with his family.The Prime Minister’s Office says the family is returning to the same place where they stayed over the Christmas holiday in 2019 and that they are paying for their own accommodations.The prime minister must fly on a Royal Canadian Air Force plane for security reasons — even for personal travel — and the family’s flights on the last trip to and from Costa Rica cost the government about $57,000, without thousands more spent on flight crews’ stay in San Jose.That said, there have been exceptions to those flight rules. Earlier this summer, for example, Trudeau flew on an RCAF aircraft to Munich, Germany to participate in the G7 summit but he was flown to the summit site in the Bavarian Alps on a German police helicopter.

Justin Trudeau, Canada's prime minister, speaks during a press conference at the Fairmont Chateau Laurier in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, on Monday, May 30, 2022.

Canada’s plan to ease runaway housing prices could backfire on Trudeau: experts

housing prices by rapidly ramping up the pace of home construction risks pushing up construction costs in the near term and could lead to oversupply in the long run, experts said.Vowing to double homebuilding to keep up with population growth and address a shortfall that has helped fuel a real estate boom, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberals last month outlined plans to build 3.5 million homes over the next decade. 63% of Canadian non-owners have ‘given up’ on ever buying a home: Ipsos But experts argue Canada’s housing shortage is not nearly as acute as the government suggests, noting starts are running at historic levels – around 250,000 a year – with a record number of units under construction, though completions lag.“I think we definitely need new supply to meet increasing household growth as a result of immigration.
