A former manager of the legendary Vancouver punk band D.O.A. has died.
The news of Ken Lester s passing came in a post by musician and painter Jean Smith on her Facebook page. Smith is a member of the Vancouver band Mecca Normal with Lester s brother David.

Notwithstanding diverse opinions on this issue, the real question is not about whether MAID should be offered for mental illness. It’s whether mental illnesses could possibly qualify for MAID under conditions the Canadian public has been assured MAID is being provided for. On this question, there is no legitimate debate.
