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.
What to Expect
1. MAiD’s Rapid Evolution
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
Hear Angelina’s perspective on offering robust palliative care alternatives—and the challenges of upholding this mission amid shifting legal and ethical landscapes.
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.
4. Safeguarding Vulnerable Lives
Explore whether current protocols are enough to protect those at risk—be they seniors, disabled individuals, or those facing mental health challenges.

...
Due to the need to vote on several bills in the Legislature today, this interview with Hon. Mickey Amery will need to be rescheduled.
I'll post a new date and time as soon as I receive one.
Thanks!
Hi supporters,
It has been a long campaign and evening. Sadly, it appears that Team Lavigne won't be elected this time around.
We thank everyone who took the time to support us and got out to vote.
For the rest of the week, we are going to recharge, regroup, and get back to several projects that took a backseat to the campaign.
We'll be back next week ready to bring you even more shows, interviews, and truth.
Much love, God bless.
