President Yoon Suk Yeol announced that he would ask for the parliament’s support to establish a new Ministry of Low Birth Rate Counter Planning after the country reached a new low with an average number of babies per woman of 0.72 in 2023.

South Korea’s president has declared the country’s low birth rate a “national emergency” and announced a new government ministry to address the problem.

In a televised press conference on May 9, President Yoon Suk Yeol said, “We will mobilize all of the nation’s capabilities to overcome the low birth rate, which can be considered a national emergency.”

He announced he would ask for the parliament’s support to establish a new “Ministry of Low Birth Rate Counter Planning.”

South Korea has had the lowest fertility rate in the world for years, and the average number of babies per woman dropped to a new low of 0.72 in 2023, down from 0.78 the previous year.

Despite the government’s efforts to increase the birth rate by spending over $200 billion on initiatives meant to encourage larger families, including infertility treatment, cash subsidies, and childcare services, the country’s birth rate declined for the fourth year in a row in 2023.

A Korean Construction corporation made headlines this year for offering employees $75,000 for each baby they have. “If Korea’s birth rate remains low, the country will face extinction,” Lee Joong-keun, chairman of the Booyoung Group, warned.

According to YouTuber Stephan Park, who grew up in South Korea and runs the YouTube channel Asian Boss, Korean men face the additional problem of being expected to own a house when they marry, which is very difficult under the country’s current economic conditions.

“There are all the societal pressures that if you get married, guys are the ones that are supposed to buy the house, to have the house ready, which is impossible to have if you are a 30-year-old guy … with the average house prices you’ll never be able to afford one in your lifetime,” Park explained.

“So that’s the most common thing we hear: ‘I cannot afford to get married,’” he added.

According to some projections, South Korea’s and multiple other Western and Asian populations are expected to be cut in half by the year 2100 if the current trends continue.

EXCLUSIVE: The Nova Scotia RCMP Veterans’ Association IS TARGETING VETERANS with Euthanasia

I just received an email from a retired member of the RCMP…

“I served for 32 years on the West Coast and retired in 2019. As a Christian and a retired member of the RCMP I wanted to share this with you. I’m trying to wrap my head around this shocking email. I’m shocked it’s come to this.” – L.K

SATURDAY, NOV. 22, 2025

1:30-3:00 PM CHURCH HALL, OLD SACKVILLE ROAD, MIDDLE SACVILLE, NS, B4E 1R3.

On November 20th, an email quietly dropped into the inboxes of Nova Scotia RCMP veterans. Standard, polite and in true Canadian fashion formal and sanitized. This was no mistake, this wasn’t information. This was something different.

This was grooming.

Yes I said it, coercion.

The “opportunity” was a “Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) Program in Nova Scotia”

This is a state-aligned institutions normalizing death as a service to the very people they already failed to support in life .This was a information session, to “educate” veterans who’s rates of PTSD and suicidality were already sky hight. How they can apply or use MAID.

The invited speaker?

Dr. Gordon Gubitz

Location? None other than a place of worship, a church hall. The target audience?

VETERANS.

This is what I’ve been talking about, welcome to the soft-coercive stage of Canada’s MAID regime.

Let’s meet Dr. Gordon Gubitz. The same Dr. Gubitz whois a MAID assessor and provider (killer) is the Clinical Lead for MAID in Nova Scotia, which means MAID is his not only his passion but spends his work focused on ending lives. This “Dr” sits on the board of CAMAP, the pro death organization that creates all the pathways for Canadians to be killed while manipulating the court systems in their favour. More death to them is the goal. This “Dr” helped write the national MAID curriculum and trains doctors on how to present MAID as a “care option.” This guy is literally a death pusher and peddler of the dark.

Think of him a the drug dealer for death.

They didn’t invite a trauma specialist.
They didn’t invite a palliative expert.
They didn’t invite a police mental-health advocate.

They didn’t invite a mental health expert

They didn’t invite a Dr who looks at psychedelic assisted therapy

They didn’t invite hope. They only invited death.

Nova Scotia RCMP veterans invited a man whose job is to facilitate, provide and promote nothing but death, and whose organization teaches clinicians how to introduce MAID (assisted SUICIDE) to patients who didn’t ask for it, bring it up or want it in their life.

Let me explain something, If you’re a veteran dealing with PTSD, chronic pain, TBI, disability, or bureaucracy-induced despair, this isn’t “education.”

This is targeted psychological pressure.

Coercion, CAMAP and Dying with Dignity’s claim to fame.

No one will say the words out loud. No one will write “we think some of you should consider dying.”

They don’t need to, when just dangling the carrot is good enough to get the job done.

Coercion today is subtle, normalized in the community. It’s dressed up like Christmas cookies in a church call, framed as loving “support” being held by one of the most prolific death pushers in the game.

Simply funnelling veterans into the system one “information session” at a time. Like cattle through the gates of hell, with CAMAP waiting in the shadows. This time not with a bold gun. They would see that as “too humane”, but with a pen, check list, a needle and a paralytic.

Canada already proved it’s willing to dangle MAID (assisted suicide, murder, early death) in front of struggling veterans. I helped break these stories and bring our veterans stories to the masses. I’m interviewing more by the day, who’ve been offered death over life illegally.

VAC employees got caught offering MAID to veterans who never asked for it, including one trying to get a wheelchair ramp, my friend Christine.

So do me a favour spare us the “this is innocent” act.

Veterans have been coerced before, and it’s happening again right in front of your faces. Now the RCMP Veterans’ Association is rolling out the red carpet for the prevailers of death. The dark ones who feed on the souls of those who couldn’t bare to take another breath.

This is not an “opportunity.”
This is a sales pitch.
And the product is your death.

People keep asking me why veterans are being targeting? Because they’re the perfect targets, don’t you see?

Veterans, on the daily are dealing with chronic pain, combat trauma, moral injury, sanctuary trauma, disability, suicidality, lack of services, financial strain, bureaucratic obstruction and the government doesn’t just know know it, it caused it and it supports it and so do the MAID, pro death cult architects.

The MAID lobby knows veterans are “high-yield” candidates, and not because they want to die, but because the system has already worn them down, like water slowly dripping over the rocks. The Liberal government just cut OVER 4 BILLION in care for veterans. Veterans aren’t being shown the full picture, they aren’t given any hope. They’re being shown the early exit. What we call in some circles, being shown the path to “self-selection.”

This RCMP veterans email is a soft-touch version of coercion if I’ve ever seen one.
“We’re not telling you to choose MAID… we’re just putting the idea on the table, in a friendly community space, with a trusted expert who helps design the national MAID system.” Who’s job is to provide you with all the pathways to wanting to kill yourself.

That’s how you manipulate a vulnerable population without leaving fingerprints.

Dr. Gubitz isn’t neutral. He is the system.

Gubitz isn’t walking into that church as an independent medical educator.

He is walking in as the clinical gatekeeper for MAID in Nova Scotia, IE. HELL. He’s nothing more than one of the ideological engines behind national MAID training. A CAMAP insider, the organization pushing to expand and normalize MAID (assisted SUICIDE) at every level of “healthcare,” if you can even call it that anymore. CAMAP literally publishes guidance on how clinicians should bring up MAID as a care option. Not reactively. Proactively.

When you pair a vulnerable group with a man trained to present MAID as “equitable access,” your “information session” becomes a recruitment funnel.

HOW IS EVERYONE OK WITH THIS?

You are directly influencing and priming veterans for death under the banner of “support.” It’s an illusion, it’s predatory behaviour! It’s not informed consent in any way. It’s manipulation.

And holding it in a church? That’s strategic psychological laundering.

Churches are trusted spaces. They lower defences, help you to open your mind. Churches to most signal moral legitimacy so hosting a MAID talk in a church hall tells veterans “your community approves. Your faith approves this is acceptable, this is dignified, you don’t have to fight or feel guilty, ”

It cloaks a controversial, ethically fraught practice in community warmth. It’s taking advantage of the safety and sanctity of church.

That’s not an accident.
It’s a tactic.

This wreaks of propaganda wrapped in hospitality.

This is the playbook of a system that wants to solve suffering by eliminating the sufferer.

Canada won’t fix the care gaps. It won’t fix the mental-health crisis. It won’t fix VAC’s failures and it sure as hell won’t fix disability supports.

But it will happily fund a national MAID curriculum, expand eligibility, remove guardrails, and now apparently send MAID providers on a tour of vulnerable communities.

Veterans have always been canaries in Canada’s moral coal mine.

If the state can normalize MAID to the people who wore its uniform, it can normalize it to anyone. And that’s the point.

This story isn’t about one email. It’s about a culture shift engineered from the top down.

This is how you create acceptance – – >

First, make MAID look compassionate.

Then, bring it into community spaces.

Then, present to vulnerable groups.

Then, call it “support.”

Then, remove the stigma.

Then, remove the safeguards.

Then, expand eligibility.

Then, tell the public: “People are choosing MAID because it’s dignified.”

They leave out the part where the system helped manufacture despair.

Veterans deserve better than an invitation to die.

They deserve care, treatment, advocacy, and someone who doesn’t treat their suffering as a problem to be erased.

Not a church basement with coffee and a state-aligned MAID architect explaining their “options.”

This email isn’t benign.

It is a warning, one Canada should have heeded years ago.

If the country is comfortable offering death to the people who served it, it’s comfortable offering it to anyone.

And that’s exactly what’s happening.

Please feel free to call or email them and let them know how this makes you feel.

Disabled Canadians petition Parliament to reverse MAiD for non-terminal conditions

Published on November 20, 2025

By

From LifeSiteNews

By Clare Marie Merkowsky

Canadians with disabilities have demanded that legislators stop treating their lives as ‘dispensable’ by banning non-terminal ‘Track 2’ assisted suicide.

Conservative Member of Parliament Garnett Genuis has presented a petition from Canadians with disabilities warning against euthanasia expansion.

During a November 19 session in the House of Commons, Genuis delivered a petition to end Track 2 Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) request, which allow doctors to end the lives of those who are not terminally ill but have lost the will to live due to their having chronic health problems.

“The petitioners state that it is unacceptable for Canadians to choose medical assistance in dying due to a lack of available services or treatments,” Genuis told the House of Commons. “This is not a real choice. They point out that allowing MAiD for people with disabilities or chronic non-terminal illnesses devalues their lives. It sends the dangerous message that life with a disability is optional.”

Genuis cited a recent article in Le Soleil which recounted the troubling case of a sick Canadian man who was essentially encouraged by a social worker to stop fighting and opt for death by lethal injection.

“That is not compassion. It is a betrayal of our duty to protect human dignity,” he declared.

The petition pointed out that “allowing medical assistance in dying for those with disabilities or chronic illness who are not dying devalues their lives, tacitly endorsing the notion that life with disability is optional, and by extension, dispensable.”

It also pointed out that making MAiD available to individuals with disabilities or chronic illnesses diminishes the motivation to develop better treatments and provide higher quality care for those living with such conditions.

In conclusion, the petition called on the Canadian government to “protect all Canadians whose natural death is not reasonably foreseeable by prohibiting medical assistance in dying for those whose prognosis for natural death is more than six months.”

“These safeguards aim to address the risks associated with diverse sources of suffering and vulnerability, that could lead someone not close to death to seek MAiD,” Liberals wrote. “The safeguards examine whether their suffering results from factors other than the medical condition and whether there are ways of addressing their suffering other than through MAiD.”

However, this is not the first time that Canadians have petitioned to protect vulnerable Canadians from the ever-growing euthanasia regime.

As LifeSiteNews reported in October, Inclusion Canada CEO Krista Carr told Parliament that many disabled Canadians are being pressured to end their lives with euthanasia during routine medical appointments.

Similarly, internal documents from Ontario doctors in 2024 that revealed Canadians are choosing euthanasia because of poverty and loneliness, not as a result of an alleged terminal illness.

In one case, an Ontario doctor revealed that a middle-aged worker, whose ankle and back injuries had left him unable to work, felt that the government’s insufficient support was “leaving (him) with no choice but to pursue” euthanasia.

Other cases included an obese woman who described herself as a “useless body taking up space,” which one doctor argued met the requirements for assisted suicide because obesity is “a medical condition which is indeed grievous and irremediable.”

At the same time, the Liberal government has worked to expand euthanasia 13-fold since it was legalized, making it the fastest growing euthanasia program in the world.

Currently, wait times to receive actual health care in Canada have increased to an average of 27.7 weeks, leading some Canadians to despair and opt for euthanasia instead of waiting for assistance. At the same time, sick and elderly Canadians who have refused to end their lives have reported being called “selfish” by their providers.

The most recent reports show that euthanasia is the sixth highest cause of death in Canada; however, it was not listed as such in Statistics Canada’s top 10 leading causes of death from 2019 to 2022.

Asked why it was left off the list, the agency said that it records the illnesses that led Canadians to choose to end their lives via euthanasia, not the actual cause of death, as the primary cause of death.

According to Health Canada, 13,241 Canadians died by euthanasia lethal injections in 2022, accounting for 4.1 percent of all deaths in the country that year, a 31.2 percent increase from 2021.
