From Wiki:  In February 2017, editors on the English Wikipedia banned the use of the Daily Mail as a source.

In terms of mental health, the regulations of what can be considered have not been announced, and it would be far more accurate to say that the philosophy is that euthanasia is acceptable in mental health when there is no treatment.

People with mental health conditions can suffer severly, and, as I keep pointing out, a number of the people here who post on this and make comments along the lines of "if I had a mental health condition I could tough it out" couldn't even handle wearing masks to help protect other people during a pandemic, which is not over. If you're going to get so high and mighty over this, then you should at least be able to wear a mask for 8 hours a day or so to help reduce the spread of a deadly virus.

Finally, grandstanding is easy, improving things is hard. Many of the same people who get morally superior over this or things like this, then turn around and worry about an increase in crime or a decrease in their property values if somebody proposes placing mental health facilities, low income/subsidized/mixed housing or a homeless shelter in their back yard.

For instance:
People in Nanaimo living with complex mental-health and substance-use challenges, and are at risk of homelessness, will benefit when the Province adds 30 complex-care housing spaces to serve the community.

Complex-care housing provides supports to people who are facing mental-health and substance-use issues, trauma or brain injuries. They are often at risk of homelessness or eviction.

Through Budget 2022, government is investing $164 million during the next three years to provide complex-care housing to as many as 500 people throughout British Columbia.

“Complex-care housing is a groundbreaking approach for people with overlapping mental-health and substance-use challenges,” said Sheila Malcolmson, Minister of Mental Health and Addictions. “This new approach to care will connect people in Nanaimo with the services they need right in their homes to help establish stability, connection and break the cycle of homelessness.”

This was first announced by the government for both Vancouver and Nanaimo (a city of around 100,000 on central Vancouver Island for those not familiar) to be completed in 2020. The government has been unable to get this underway not due to delays from Covid or due to staffing shortages, but due to being unable to find a place to build these complex-care housing units.

Very disturbing. Why the Canadian people reelected this fool over O'Toole will never make sense to me.

Garbage like this also gives ammo to the ghouls against universal healthcare.

Because Erin O'Toole and the Conservatives showed that they didn't actually care about life by siding with the Covidiots.

Yes, we should just take the government's word on this.

You don't have to defend everything your government does. Virtually all US users except for Hillgoose would clearly state their opposition to the Iraq War, for instance.

There is nobody's word to take on this, the details haven't been released.

The Minister of Justice, David Lametti, has stated his philosophy. We'll see how closely his stated philosophy matches the regulations.

 Of course, anybody can oppose in principle extending euthanasia to those with mental health issues, but, then those who do so can also be criticized.
