EP205: The Darkside of MAiD: Undisclosed Records & Hidden Agendas

What happens when the healthcare system meant to protect us becomes the very system we begin to question? Truehope Cast is back! After a summer break, we're returning with powerful guests, compelling stories, and conversations that challenge conventional thinking. In this special episode, David Stephan sits down with Alicia Duncan, Canadian author and mental health advocate, to discuss her gripping book, The Other Side of the Straitjacket: A Daughter's Story of Mental Illness and Assisted Dying. Following the heartbreaking loss of her mother, Alicia embarked on a relentless search for answers, uncovering troubling questions about mental healthcare, medical accountability, informed consent, and Canada's Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) system. With advocacy featured on CBC's The Fifth Estate and the BBC's Better Off Dead?, Alicia brings a deeply personal perspective to a conversation every Canadian should hear. Are we truly exploring every opportunity for healing before deciding that hope is lost? 🎙️ Listen now.
