If the brain-damaged rantings of Maurice Vellacott become law, we can look forward to scenes like this tragedy in India happening here.  
Why?  because bill C-537 creates an environment where a practitioner's religious beliefs trump the patient.  Is bill C-537 as sweeping as the societal attitudes towards India's "untouchables"?  No, but it is rooted in the same class of stupidity - where someone allows their superstition to guide their treatment of somebody else down a path that will be damaging to the patient.
Truly sad is that C-537 makes women Canada's "Untouchables" when it comes to health care.
A progressive voice shining light into the darkness of regressive politics. Pretty much anything will be fair game, and little will be held sacred.
