A British Columbia judge recently issued an interim injunction , blocking a B.C. physician from providing medically assisted death (MAiD) to a 53-year-old woman. Her MAiD application stated she was seeking MAiD for akathisia, characterized by restlessness, terror, agitation, inability to sit still and burning skin sensations. The woman’s own Alberta health-care providers concluded that she did not have an irremediable condition (a legislative requirement for MAiD) and that MAiD was not appropriate, but B.C. physicians approved her for MAiD via videoconferencing. Supporters of broad access to MAiD denounced the litigation as a manipulative “anti-choice” tactic aimed at restricting individual rights . They argue that courts have no role in what they call “medical decision-making.” As a result of the court’s intervention, the woman involved is still alive. We argue here, as two legal scholars and a medical practitioner involved in MAiD policy and litigation, that judicial oversight over MAiD practice is essential. Extraordinary powers MAiD is not like any medical treatment. Deciding whether a MAiD death is appropriate is not a standard exercise of medical judgment , whereby a physician determines what treatment should be offered based on a professional assessment of often complex symptoms. Instead, doctors are tasked with applying Criminal Code criteria, which exempt MAiD from the crimes of homicide and aiding suicide. Unlike standard “medical treatments,” the intended outcome is to end a life. Our MAiD law delegates extraordinary power to health-care practitioners, with only limited, post-factum review of cases by provincial review bodies such as the Ontario Office of the Chief Coroner and the Québec Commission on End-of-Life Care , and general reporting obligations to Health Canada . But this review and reporting only takes place after patients are already dead. Judges play a crucial role in ensuring that those exercising statutory power , as with MAiD, use it responsibly, and that they follow the rules. Advocates for broad access to MAiD seem primarily concerned that family members may deny loved ones access to death. We and others are worried that people may be pressured into accessing MAiD due to caregiver burnout or financial concerns or interests, or in despair. There is currently no real oversight to prevent this. MAiD proponents portray MAiD as primarily a question of autonomy. But this strategy is misleading and a sleight-of-hand. People live in social contexts , connected to families and other communities that have a meaningful impact on their lives and well-being. Many Canadians struggle to keep loved ones safe from suicide. As a society, we value their commitment and love, rather than labelling them as heartless “anti-choice activists .” Suicide prevention remains an important societal obligation, to which family members make vital contributions. Suicide-prevention guidelines of leading mental health centres such as the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto emphasize how family members are key in identifying suicide risks of loved ones and in helping to prevent suicide . And contrary to what is often claimed, suicide and MAiD are not neatly distinguishable, particularly when there are mental health issues. . Judicial oversight When family members or others have reason to believe doctors exceeded their authority or were clearly unreasonable, the court is the appropriate arbiter. Much as some supporters of broad MAiD policies may want it, the law does not give doctors free rein to end patients’ lives based on their own judgment; they are required to meet the criteria set out by the Criminal Code . Offering MAiD outside of those criteria is a crime, albeit a crime that has been largely unenforceable in Canada because of the lack of transparency about MAiD practice , the vague nature of the access criteria and safeguards , and the stark lack of meaningful oversight. In Canada we rely on MAiD providers to police themselves and to self-report whether they have complied with the Criminal Code criteria. Ending a life is final, with no room for second thought or further evaluation. Judicial oversight before death occurs acts as a crucial safeguard, not a hindrance. Doctors who respect the law should have nothing to fear from judicial oversight. Clearly, Justice Simon Coval in the Vancouver case had serious concerns regarding Dr. Ellen Wiebe and Dr. Elizabeth Whynot’s MAiD assessments, which would have resulted in the woman’s death had the family not been able to obtain legal support to appeal to the court. Unlike in two earlier cases , the judge did not shield the names of the doctors from public view and stated that in the pressing circumstances of the case, judicial review of both the approval process and the approval itself could reasonably be considered. We should use this tragic situation to critically examine the frailties of our existing law. The requirement of two independent practitioners assessing MAiD eligibility was intended to be a safeguard against wrongful death. It becomes meaningless if patients can shop around for MAiD approvals after being turned down, in some cases repeatedly , and still get approved for MAiD. In the current B.C. case, the patient was not deemed to qualify for MAiD in her home province by her treating physicians, but approved for MAiD by out-of-province doctors apparently without in-person meeting and without review of their full medical history. Where one MAiD assessor effectively selects the other, as apparently in this case , the second assessor can hardly be considered independent. Read more: Assisted dying: Canada grapples with plans to extend euthanasia to people suffering solely from mental illness Michel Bureau, head of the Québec commission on end-of-life care, has already raised these concerns about MAiD practice last year. While proponents of expansion argue that patients have no choice but to look around or “shop” for assessors since there are insufficient health care providers willing to be involved , current statistics show that it takes in Ontario on average only 2.2 days to connect to a MAiD practitioner , which is faster than access to virtually any health-care service outside of emergency care . And even when it comes to emergency care, lack of quality emergency care appears to have driven at least one disabled Québecer to request MAiD . Litigation and MAiD Finally, advocates suggest that litigation isn’t the way to address these issues. Yet it was litigation that got us here , and an inadequate legislative response to litigation that has left us with a largely unregulated MAiD regime that is ending the lives of thousands of Canadians every year . It is precisely the role of courts to rein in potential abuses of power, especially where legislators appear to have abdicated their responsibility to do so. The courts have long served as the last stop for upholding the rule of law and arbitrating alleged abuses by those with power. And make no mistake, medical practitioners have enormous influence over individuals whose suffering leaves them vulnerable to subtle forms of coercion and influence . We strongly support the need for families to have recourse to the courts where they have reason to believe doctors have taken shortcuts or not followed the rules. Parliament has left glaring gaps in oversight in a MAiD regime that has become a cautionary tale of how not to proceed. Courts can play a role in filling the gap.

She is a family physician and Senior Fellow of Domestic and Health Policy at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, and a member of the Ontario Chief Coroner’s Office Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) Death Review Committee.

The auto industry is sending an urgent message to President-elect Donald Trump: spare the . In a November 14th letter to Trump and his transition team, the auto industry’s main lobbying group urges the new administration to preserve incentives for EV buyers and manufacturers that were enacted under President Joe Biden, arguing these policies keep the US competitive globally while also creating “good jobs.” The Alliance for Automotive Innovation, which represents the Big Three automakers — Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis — as well as foreign car companies that sell in the US, are calling on Trump to “promote stability and predictability in auto-related emissions standards.” But at the same time, the group endorsed “reasonable and achievable emissions regulations,” suggesting that there may be some wiggle room for a partial rollback of Biden’s tailpipe rules. Calling on Trump to “promote stability and predictability” Of course, expecting that Trump will promote stability and predictability while in office seems woefully optimistic — and perhaps disconnected from reality. Trump has said bluntly many times what he intends to do when he assumes office, and stability and predictability don’t seem like they’re on the menu. During his campaign, Trump railed against Biden’s policies incentivizing EV purchases, promising to of his presidency. And since his victory, his transition team has discussed how to go about , among other incentives. by on Scribd Also on the chopping block are requiring automakers to slash carbon emissions by 2032, primarily by selling more EVs. This is another way Trump could unravel his predecessor’s environmental legacy, and one that is familiar to him. During his first term, Trump rolled back emissions standards put in place by President Barack Obama — and now appears poised to do it again with Biden’s mandates. John Bozzella, president and CEO of the alliance, didn’t oppose Biden’s efforts to impose stricter tailpipe rules on automakers, although he did call some of the thresholds “stretch goals.” Now, in his letter to Trump, he is calling for “reasonable and achievable federal and state emissions regulations aligned with current market realities that support a customer’s ability to purchase a vehicle that meets their individual needs.” Also on the chopping block are newly finalized EPA rules requiring automakers to slash carbon emissions by 2032 That could be viewed in a number of ways. “Stability and predictability” suggests that automakers are tired of EPA standards being rolled back and forward, and used as a political football. But “reasonable and achievable” implies that Bozzella and his member companies are fine with kicking the can down the road and pushing out the deadlines for achieving certain emissions targets. In other words, wiggle room. Bozzella also endorsed a federal regulatory framework for autonomous vehicles, which has . Trump’s transition team is reportedly discussing the passage of a regulatory framework that would result in more driverless cars on the road. Tesla CEO Elon Musk, a mega-donor to Trump and self-proclaimed “first buddy,” would stand to benefit enormously from such a move given his intention to sell . The US will need a framework for AV deployment if it’s to remain competitive with China, Bozzella said in the letter. The letter is also notable for its flattery of Trump. Bozzella congratulates him on his victory and professes to agree with him that consumers should be able to choose their own vehicle, playing into the false claim that Biden and Kamala Harris were trying to require Americans to purchase EVs. And he commends him for recognizing and acknowledging the enormous headwinds facing the industry. All in all, the letter is what you would expect from the industry following Trump’s victory: a plea to be careful when slashing and burning through Biden’s regulatory legacy; a statement of shared values and alignment with Trump’s MAGA ethos and that of his allies; and above all, a lot of flattery. /Vernon drug trafficker linked to heroin shipment hidden in lamps out on day parole (Vernon)

Sean Dyche insists he doesn't need a set-piece coach and his old-school methods are the way forward - claiming he's 'got the wrong staff' at Everton if they can't work things out for themselves Everton have no set-piece coach, with likes of Arsenal reaping rewards with one The Toffees have the second best record from dead balls, behind the Gunners LISTEN NOW to It's All Kicking Off! : Why can't Chelsea win the league? They made seven changes and still scored five. Do you think Liverpool could do that? By LEWIS STEELE Published: 22:30 GMT, 5 December 2024 | Updated: 22:30 GMT, 5 December 2024 e-mail View comments For all the talk and eulogising of set-piece coaches in 2024, and Arsenal ’s Nicolas Jover in particular, Everton boss Sean Dyche believes his old-school plan of going without is still paying dividends. Since the boss took over at Goodison Park, Everton have scored more goals than all but the Gunners from dead-ball situations in the Premier League – and the Toffees do not have a set-piece specialist on the coaching staff. But Dyche – who joked he was a ‘dinosaur’ – is adamant his team are using set-pieces as a big asset even without one, with those duties delegated to his trusted lieutenants Steve Stone and Ian Woan, plus lead performance analyst Matthew Hawkes. Asked why his old-school approach has served him so well, Dyche said: ‘Because I’m a dinosaur! No, on a serious note... the way I look at it, my staff have got goodness knows how many games playing. I’m going to say around 1,000. ‘I’ve got 1,000 myself in playing, development coaching, youth team coaching, manager. So if we cannot design a set-piece with a group of analysts – who can see everything that happens on a set-piece of the opposition or us – then I’ve got the wrong staff. ‘So therefore, with that depth of knowledge, I’d use them. I am happy to pass it over to them. That’s not to say there is not a reason for set-piece coaches – that’s up to managers and staff and football directors. Sean Dyche has insisted he doesn't need a set-piece coach amid the rise of the idea Mikel Arteta's Arsenal have enjoyed heavy success from set-pieces in the last two season They scored two more from set-pieces on Wednesday, taking total to 22 since start of last season ‘Seven or eight years ago everyone was like, “Why are you worried about set-pieces? Get it down and play”. Now everyone has re-realised that set-pieces matter! For a long, long time a rough figure is that 25 per cent of goals are from set-pieces. So why wouldn’t you use them?’ Everton’s free-kicks and corners caused havoc on Wednesday in a thumping 4-0 win over Wolves – to end a run of five winless and four without even scoring – and Dyche believes this can be a big weapon in Saturday’s Merseyside Derby. Asked if they were back on point with set-pieces, he added: ‘Not just with delivery but the body language and intent to go and score is different when teams are on it. We looked back there.

Just the intent. Jack Harrison smashed one over the bar but he was in the right place. Spot on. I commended him for that and said “fantastic, another day it flies in”. Be in the right place and go with the intent to score.’ Dyche is not fussed about the lack of credit he gets for this and said: ‘Oh, I’m not bothered. I’ve been doing it too long. Now I just get on with my business. I know how the game works, I know how to piece a team together. I get things wrong, I am a human being. ‘Everyone gets it right after the game, the hardest thing is getting it right before the game or during.

Vasundhara Oswal spoke about her detention in Uganda, claiming that she was wrongfully accused of the crime, which was a politically motivated attack. New Delhi: Days after Indian-origin billionaire Pankaj Oswal’s daughter Vasundhara Oswal was released on bail from detention in Uganda, she has spoken about the incident for the first time publicly in a social media post on Instagram since her release. Oswal, the Executive Director of PRO Industries, in a post shared on social media, spoke about the harrowing experience of getting detained in Uganda, revealing that she was wrongfully accused of the crime which was a politically motivated attack. Oswal’s social media post implied that the charges were fabricated, accusing political and business competitors of orchestrating the incident in a bid to undermine her business. Notably, the charges against Vasundhara shocked everyone, when she was arrested and charged with an "attempt to murder" of a man. However, after the man, whose attempted murder charges were implied in the case, was found alive in another country. This cast a doubt on the credibility of the allegations and the case. Oswal Claimed Her Detention Was Part of Conspiracy to Damage Her Business Interests "I somehow managed to find the courage to write and create this post today," Oswal wrote. "Though my younger sister was pressuring me to create it straight after I was released on bail, it was difficult opening up my Instagram or communicating with my friends or family." She further expressed that much of what had happened still remained difficult to explain and that she had been forced to contend with fabricated charges under immense political pressure. Oswal suggested that her detention was part of a larger conspiracy to damage her business interests, particularly as her company, PRO Industries, had started making significant inroads into Uganda’s competitive market. She accused several high-profile businessmen of using their influence to target her, pretending to offer support during her detention while secretly working against her. “First a false charge of “attempt to murder” was put on me and then they found the guy alive in another country after throwing me in jail. Fabricated and exaggerated beyond doubt by political pressure put by business competitors (few of which pretended to help my release and even visited me during the time I was detained by the police under the pretense of being my allies),” she stated. Describing Uganda as a "mafia state," Oswal raised concerns about the safety and feasibility of conducting business in the country. She noted that the ordeal had made her rethink plans to expand her business in the region. "It has definitely made us think twice about setting up larger-scale projects in the country," she added. Despite the ordeal, Oswal's resolve remains unshaken. She firmly stated that the businessmen behind the alleged plot would never gain control of PRO Industries, despite their attempts to trade her freedom for shares in the company. The incident has sparked outrage among some local observers, who believe it highlights deeper issues of corruption and political interference in Uganda's business environment. About Vasundhara Oswal and Charges Against Her Vasundhara Oswal, the 26-year-old daughter of Indian-origin Swiss billionaire Pankaj Oswal, was arrested in Uganda on October 1, 2023, and spent over three weeks in custody. She faces serious charges of kidnapping and attempting to kill Mukesh Menaria, a former employee who had worked on her family’s private jet and provided domestic assistance at their residences globally. Vasundhara’s father, Pankaj Oswal is the son of industrialist Abhay Kumar Oswal, founder of Oswal Agro Mills and Oswal Greentech. The Oswal Group Global is involved in the business of petrochemicals, real estate, fertilisers, and mining. The Oswal family claims that the allegations against Vasundhara stem from a former employee who took out a $200,000 loan from them. They assert that the accusations of kidnapping and murder were fabricated as a means to avoid repaying the loan. Mukesh Menaria, the man Vasundhara is accused of murdering, was reportedly found alive in Tanzania, leading to questions about the validity of the charges against her. Vasundhara’s sister Riddhi Oswal noted that Menaria provided a notarised affidavit stating that he had not been mistreated by Vasundhara or her family. Despite this evidence, Ugandan authorities have not acknowledged the claims. In light of the situation, the Oswal family filed an urgent appeal with the United Nations on October 11, seeking intervention in the case. Riddhi expressed gratitude for the media and the UN's support. According to reports, Vasundhara was in Uganda as part of the Group’s $100 million investment to establish East Africa’s first grain-based Extra-Neutral Alcohol (ENA) production facility. In an open letter to Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, Pankaj Oswal urged to restore her personal freedom, claiming the charges against his eldest daughter stemmed from a former employee taking a loan of $200,000 from the family. The former employee accused Vasundhara of kidnapping with intent to kill, but the billionaire Oswal family claims these charges are trumped up by the ex-employee to avoid paying the loan. “The worst part - the man she has been accused of kidnapping and murdering, the one on whom this entire case is falsely based, was already found in Tanzania, in state custody, and awaits his own investigations there. When Tanzanian authorities apprehended him, he was found with his passport, clearly indicating that he was not kidnapped. And definitely isn’t murdered,” Ridi Oswal said in her Instagram post.
