    America has them too.

    I never said they didn’t but I will point that America’s version pretty much just assigns guardianship and decision making authority to one guardian or another in the case of a dispute. The Ontario version can actually TAKE guardianship from someone and make decisions about care on their own authority.

    Regardless of how it works in America the point stands. Canada’s “Death Panels” were not a fabrication. The “Consent and Capacity Board” of Ontario exists.
