Healthism is itself a facet of ableism, the web of beliefs, behaviors, and institutional practices that marginalize disabled people. Our cultural perceptions of health and beauty have long been rooted in the rejection of disabled people. For example, in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, municipalities across the United States passed so-called “ugly laws,” banning the public appearance of disabled people. According to Canada’s Eugenics Archive, “ugly laws were concerned with more than appearance, prohibiting both the activity of street begging and the appearance in public of ‘certain persons.
Aubrey Gordon ("You Just Need to Lose Weight": And 19 Other Myths About Fat People (Myths Made in America))
One of the very hot topics between Jimmy and Sam Giancana was Senator John F. Kennedy’s upcoming campaign for president. This was very controversial between them. Giancana had been promised by Kennedy’s old man that he could control Bobby and nobody had to worry about Bobby if Jack got in. The Kennedy old man had made his money alongside the Italians as a bootlegger during Prohibition. He brought in whiskey through Canada and distributed it to the Italians. The old man kept his contacts with the Italians over the years as he branched out into more legitimate things, like financing movie stars like Gloria Swanson who he was having affairs with. Sam Giancana was going to help John F. Kennedy against Nixon and so were Giancana’s buddy Frank Sinatra and practically all of Hollywood.

FINDING A GESTATIONAL SURROGATE: A gestational surrogate may be known to the commissioning couple (typically relatives or friends who volunteer to carry the pregnancy) or unknown to the commissioning couple (usually introduced through a third party). Since it is illegal to pay for surrogacy services or to advertise to pay for surrogacy services in Canada, finding a gestational surrogate can be time consuming and difficult. While there are agencies and consultants that assist in making connections between gestational surrogates and recipient couples, patients should be aware that current law also prohibits these companies and consultants from charging for this service. In a majority of cases, gestational surrogates are already known to the commissioning couple. We highly recommend that intended parents review the laws in Canada with respect to compensating surrogates and egg donors. Must be over 21 years of age and under 41 years of age It is highly recommended that the surrogate have completed her family or have had at least one child previously Ethically, the relationship between the commissioning couple and the surrogate should not be one where there is a power imbalance. (For example, where a commissioning couple is the employer of the surrogate). When searching for a surrogate, patients must also consider ethical, medical, psychosocial and legal issues.

The promise was kept in 1927 – Ottawa would meet half the cost of a meagre, means-tested pension for those over seventy. Compelled to pay the other half, most provinces hesitated. Nova Scotia found a novel way to raise its share: it legalized liquor sold in government-run stores, and used the profits to help its elderly. Other provinces followed suit. By ending prohibition, Ontario Tories, elected in 1923, bounced from deficit to surplus budgets.
Desmond Morton (A Short History of Canada)
we are free to do whatever we wish provided there is no law prohibiting us from doing so.
Patrick Malcolmson (The Canadian Regime: An Introduction to Parliamentary Government in Canada, Fifth Edition)
Morality, in this view, is a kind of internal control system that helps us avoid prisoner’s dilemmas. Kant’s supreme principle of morality— “Don’t make an exception of yourself”—amounts to a moral prohibition against free-riding. If you can improve your own situation only by making others worse off, then this is not something that you could will to be a “universal law.” You are clearly hoping to make an exception of yourself. And so morality prohibits that course of action.
Joseph Heath (The Efficient Society: Why Canada Is As Close To Utopia As It Gets)
From 1912 on, laws were enacted in England and Germany to promote the reproduction of persons who were considered “valuable”; Canada carried out thousands of forced sterilizations (until 1970!), and there were also programs for the forced sterilization of mentally defective persons in Australia, the United Kingdom, Estonia, and Switzerland; in all the Scandinavian countries and in some states in America, decrees were issued prohibiting reproduction by “defective” persons and imposing sterilization on them.
José Carlos González-Hurtado (New Scientific Evidence for the Existence of God)
When, in 1861, Americans decided to butcher themselves in a civil war to determine if all men were truly created equal, the British colonies of Canada, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia were officially neutral. Britain’s 1818 Foreign Enlistment Act prohibited joining a foreign military, but approximately forty thousand British North Americans defied it to join the fight
John Boyko (The Devil's Trick: How Canada Fought the Vietnam War)
Yet, once the curtain of war had fallen, many Canadians came to believe that banning the sale, trade and manufacture of alcohol would aid the war effort. As a result, most Canadian provinces enacted some sort of alcohol ban prior to Canada’s short-lived federal ban, enacted near the end of the war in 1918 and expiring a year after hostilities ended.9 The impact of Prohibition on Canada’s liquor industry was substantial and felt long after it was repealed, with 75% of its breweries having closed by 1928. However, Prohibition was conveniently fortuitous for some, the Bronfmans chief among them. Given
Whitney Alyse (One Nation Under Blackmail - Vol. 1: The Sordid Union Between Intelligence and Crime that Gave Rise to Jeffrey Epstein, VOL.1)
There are times when wanting your own death is seen not as pathological but as a rational decision, a choice to which you are entitled. It's telling, though, that the kinds of pain North American society acknowledges as so unbearable as to make death an acceptable choice don't include the pain caused by mental illness. In Canada and in some US states, a doctor can legally help you die if you have terminal cancer, but not if a mental illness is wrecking your life. That could change—there will likely be court challenges of the mental illness prohibition on medically assisted death—but a proper discussion of what that might look like, of how a doctor would distinguish between a desire to die driven by a disorder's skewed thinking and a desire to die driven by a rational assessment of what a disorder is doing to your life, is beyond the scope of this book. It is no doubt a question society will have to answer: Why does the pain of people who are crazy carry less weight than the pain of those who are not?
