The father is clear: “He wants to stay here… He wants to live here and he wants to die here.” This case raises massive red flags about dementia allegations, family inheritance disputes, and the erosion of end-of-life autonomy in Canada.

Host Jen Psaki said, “Before the cease fire was announced this week. Donald Trump said, I know you saw this. A whole civilization will die tonight. It is language. I don’t think anyone has ever heard from a U.S. president publicly, privately, anyone in any position of power. It’s a pretty hard bell to unring.
