An Ethics Framework for Medical Assistance in Dying
This paper presents an Ethics Framework for MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying) to support the integration of evidence‐informed, values‐based, inclusive and transparent ethical decision‐making into everyday MAiD practice. As with other areas of clinical practice, ethical decision‐making is an intrinsic part of MAiD. While clinicians connected to academic medical centers or large hospitals may have access to the expertise of an ethicist, those work…
Rethinking Mandated Drug Treatment
In this same, May-June 2026, issue of the Hastings Center Report, Brendon Saloner suggests that mandated drug treatment can expand freedom and promote egalitarian social justice so long as three criteria are met. Drawing on our clinical experience in addiction medicine and a critical appraisal of the available evidence, we challenge this claim. We argue that Saloner's three criteria are unlikely to be met within jurisdictions that criminalize dru…
Medical Interpreting Services for Refugees in Canada
Language barriers, specifically among refugees, pose significant challenges to delivering quality healthcare in Canada. While the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the emergence and development of innovative alternatives such as telephone-based and video-conferencing medical interpreting services and AI tools, access remains uneven across Canada. This comprehensive analysis highlights the absence of a cohesive national strategy, reflected in diverse …

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a major impact on the mental health of refugees and migrants. This study aimed to assess refugee clinician perspectives on mental health care during the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically access to and delivery of community mental health care services. We utilized a mixed methods design. We surveyed members of a national network of Canadian clinicians caring for refugees and migrants. Seventy-seven clinicians with exper…
Untangling the Environmentalist's Paradox
Environmentalists have argued that ecological degradation will lead to declines in the well-being of people dependent on ecosystem services. The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment paradoxically found that human well-being has increased despite large global declines in most ecosystem services. We assess four explanations of these divergent trends: (1) We have measured well-being incorrectly; (2) well-being is dependent on food services, which are inc…
