Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program has undergone significant expansion—raising questions about patient dignity, autonomy, and potential abuses in end-of-life care. Join The Lavigne Show as we bring together Angelina Ireland, President of the Delta Hospice Society, and Ken Drysdale, a Commissioner for the National Citizens Inquiry (NCI), to dissect the moral, legal, and practical implications of MAiD in Canadian healthcare.
Featured Guests
• Angelina Ireland
At the forefront of Delta Hospice Society, Angelina has fiercely advocated for patient-centered, life-affirming care. Discover how she believes Canada can balance compassion with preserving the sanctity of life.
• Ken Drysdale
A Commissioner of the NCI, Ken brings fresh insights from the national citizen-led inquiry into Canada’s COVID-era policies—shedding light on how broader healthcare decisions, including MAiD, affect public trust and patient rights.

Learn about the expanded criteria for medically assisted death, and why some Canadians worry it might blur lines between mercy and misuse.
2. Hospice vs. Euthanasia

3. Citizen-Led Oversight
Get Ken’s take on how the NCI uncovered crucial stories during COVID-19—and what lessons can be applied to Canada’s rapidly changing end-of-life policies.

Hi all,
Paula and I are taking a mid-week day off.
See you tomorrow with Frances Widdowson.
Stay warm, God bless.
Paula & Jay on the @TheLavigneShow are two of my favorite people. I am a supporter because I believe in their honesty, integrity & most of all their dedication to truth & the Alberta Independence Movement. I wrote a song about our quest for freedom, it is called My Alberta Home. You can find a demo of the song on my X page Michael Kosterman @MichaelKosterm2
We are headed into the studio later this spring to record a Radio Version of this song. Thank you Paula & Jay for all that you do. I will be coming to see you soon at one of your events! All my best & God Save Alberta!
