Kelsi Sheren - Episode 32

from The Shawn Johnson Podcast Hosted by Shawn Johnson

The Shawn Johnson Podcast: Kelsi Sheren on Canada's MAID Assisted Suicide EpidemicIn this powerful and unflinching episode, host Shawn Johnson welcomes Kelsi Sheren – Canadian combat veteran, artillery gunner who served in Afghanistan at just 19, bestselling author of Brass & Unity, CEO of Brass & Unity jewelry (turning spent casings into symbols of resilience while donating to veterans' mental health), TEDx speaker, and one of the most vocal critics of Canada's Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program.Kelsi draws from her own battles with PTSD and TBI to expose what she calls a national crisis: MAID's rapid expansion from terminal illness to chronic conditions, disabilities, poverty, and mental health struggles. She shares shocking stories – veterans offered euthanasia instead of treatment (with over 20 documented cases, including audio recordings), patients denied surgery but approved for death, and vulnerable Canadians pressured into "choice" when real healthcare fails them.As MAID now accounts for nearly 5% of all deaths in Canada (one of the highest rates globally), Kelsi argues it's not compassion but coercion – a slippery slope toward state-sanctioned eugenics that devalues life, especially for the suffering, disabled, and traumatized.From her testimony before Parliament to viral appearances on Jordan Peterson, TRIGGERnometry, and more, Kelsi fights for better mental health support, palliative care, and alternatives like psychedelic therapy over premature death.This episode is a wake-up call: raw, emotional, and urgent. If you're concerned about bodily autonomy, veterans' rights, or where "assisted dying" is heading, you need to hear Kelsi's firsthand warning.Tune in now and join the conversation that's challenging Canada's culture of death.Shawn Johnson & Co. contentFollow Shawn Johnson & Co. on:X: https://x.com/shawnbjohnson Instagram: / shawnbjohnsonofficial Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3olSL90...Rumble:https://rumble.com/c/c-7818264
