Jim,
What is the general view on abortion, gay marriage and euthanasia?
How would you characterize Canada in terms of religious parties and
their political power?
But this isn't off topic any more, it's even worse.
Do you know some us- or canadian group where discussions like this are
possible without the obvious flaming and namecalling ?
Regards, Len.

The general view, in Canada, on abortion......It is up to the woman to
choose.

Gay Marriage is legal in Canada.

With a "living will" signed by the patient, it is legal for a doctor to
remove all life giving medications and supplements. My wife passed away
three years ago in a Canadian hospital. She was, at her own request and
mine, to be left to die with dignity after she had been told that her cancer
was terminal and there was nothing more that could be done for her.

She was given large amounts of morphine and died with no pain and with a
smile on her face. This type of "death with dignity" is common in Canada
but it is only after the patient has given written instructions to her
family and to the doctor.

Religion plays almost no part in Canadian Politics at all. There is no
place for it here like there is in the USA.

Sorry Len, I know of no "online" forums for Canadian Political discussions.
