Dear France: We Already Built What You’re Voting On. Here’s What It Produced.
Tim Hortons MAID Dr, France and Canada's Killing Machine.
His name was Thomas Dillon. He was 45 years old, he had Crohn’s disease. A history of mental illness. Documented suicidal ideation. Struggles with alcohol and opioids. He lived with his mother. Couldn’t hold a job. No social network. Financially dependent on his family.
By every honest measure, Thomas Dillon was a vulnerable man who needed help.
What he got instead was a death appointment at a Tim Hortons parking lot.
Dr. James MacLean, MAID “Doctor” from Westmount Family Physicians, where both he and his wife work in London, Ontario met Thomas Dillon outside a Tim Hortons in St. Thomas, Ontario on June 27, 2023. That’s where he assessed him for Medical Assistance in Dying (medical murder) Not in a clinical setting, not with family present. Not with the safeguards the system claims to have. In a parking lot. Over coffee. Deciding whether this man should live or die.
Then he drove him to his death.
On January 29, 2024, MacLean picked Thomas up again at the Tim Hortons and drove him personally to a room inside an industrial unit where cadavers are prepared for funeral transport. That’s where Thomas Dillon died. His family didn’t know where he was and his sister had shown up to the Tim Hortons. Thomas refused to let her ride along. The doctor drove him instead.
The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario investigated.
They found MacLean violated professional boundaries. They found his conduct risked looking like coercion. They found problems in five of twenty patient files reviewed. They found that in a separate case, he declared a patient dead without administering one of the three required drugs and left the home. The patient started breathing again on his own. MacLean came back and finished the job.
Their punishment? Six months of supervision. He kept his license. He can still perform assisted dying today and is working at Westmount Family Physicians. There is several issues here, but let’s be honest. THE DEAD DON’T TALK, and when people like this are allowed to keep practicing medicine, they will do it again.
Now look at France’s Medical murder bill.
The National Assembly passed this legislation describing eligibility as people struck by a “serious and incurable disease” that is “life-threatening and in its advanced or terminal phases,” experiencing “constant physical or psychological suffering.”
Broad language. Interpretable language. The kind of language that starts as a narrow door and ends as an open hallway.
Canada started the same way. Terminal illness. Clear safeguards. Narrow eligibility. That was 2016.
By 2021, we expanded it to people whose deaths were not near. By 2024, a 45-year-old man with addiction, depression, and documented suicidal ideation was being assessed for death in a parking lot by a doctor who would later fail to complete the procedure correctly in a separate case leaving a patient breathing after being declared dead and receive a verbal caution for it.
That trajectory didn’t happen by accident. It happened by design. Each expansion was framed as compassionate. Each one made the door a little wider. None of them came with meaningful accountability.
Buried in the debate around France’s bill is this fact: 48% of French patients who require palliative care do not get it.
Nearly half.
France’s National Assembly passed a separate palliative care bill the same day unanimously, 491 votes in favour. That’s where the actual consensus is. Not on killing people, on caring for them.
Yet the assisted dying bill is the one being pushed through before summer recess. The one Macron wants signed before 2027 elections. The one that carries a two-year prison sentence for anyone who tries to block an act of assisted dying while in Canada, a doctor who failed to complete the procedure correctly and returned to finish the job received a verbal caution.
Two years in jail for obstruction. A verbal caution for negligence. That is what the incentive structure looks like when this becomes law.
I Qualify for This. Today.
I am a Canadian combat veteran. I served in Afghanistan as an artillery gunner. I carry the injuries from that service. Under Canada’s current MAiD criteria, I qualify for assisted dying today.
I’ve said this on Triggernometry. I’ve said it before Parliament. I’ve said it to Winston Marshall, Jillian Michaels and Jordan Peterson and to anyone else who will listen.
The system doesn’t see a veteran who survived war. It sees a cost. It sees suffering it can resolve quickly, cheaply, and permanently. And it has built a legal and financial infrastructure around that resolution.
This week I was back on Triggernometry for the third time making the same argument: assisted dying isn’t being managed as a compassionate last resort. It’s being monetized. There are billing codes for it. Practitioners profit from it and when they get it wrong, the consequences are a verbal caution and six months of supervision.
To France’s Senate, directly. You’ve rejected this bill twice. The National Assembly has passed it twice. That tension is not dysfunction. That tension is democracy doing exactly what it’s supposed to do when a question is this serious.
A 44-year-old woman with Parkinson’s stood outside your building and said this bill would be like a loaded pistol left on her bedside table. She’s not wrong. That is not a metaphor. That is a description of what vulnerability looks like when the state has decided that death is a medical option.
England rejected it. Scotland rejected it, both after watching Canada.
I’m not here to tell you what to legislate. I’m here to show you what you’re legislating. Fix the palliative care crisis. The 48% of patients who can’t access it are the ones who will be pushed toward this door when it opens. They deserve better than that.
Canada is the case study. Thomas Dillon is the data point no one wanted to create.
Don’t build what we built or you and your citizens will regret it and to President Macron, blood will be on your hands if you keep pushing death on your people.

It’s definitely not human in anyway
I listened to your talk on Triggernometry the other day. Brava for your courage and determination! This whole thing has gotten way out of hand to put it mildly. It's one thing to ease someone's suffering with morphine or other opioids at the end of life, another to inject them with drugs allowing them to organ harvest afterwards. During Covid I rescinded my permission for organ donation in Ontario in protest to the draconian requirement for Covid vaccination in order to receive a transplant... never going to agree to any of it again.
Trouble with Canadians is that generally speaking, they've had an easy ride and never had to worry about conflict on their home soil in past, never had to live under totalitarian regimes like the USSR, China, North Korea etc. and for many of the boomers, they've had the benefits of their parents' hard work, a self-indulgent prolonged adolescence as hippies and then fell into big bucks jobs, never having any real financial worries. They simply can't/don't/won't see the shit all around them
