Liberal candidate Nell Thomas has apologized for alleged social media comments that criticized life support for the elderly and women having children.

When they show you who they are believe them the first time!

Screengrabs circulating on social media show posts criticizing the elderly and women bearing children. Her X account has since been deleted.
Thomas allegedly commented last May 11 that Canada should "stop keeping ancients alive so long."
On April 12, 2023, she reportedly criticized women for bearing children.
The post reads, “I telepathically advise the fetus to sue the owner of the uterus while exiting it to this world. Of necessity, a mother must be a climate change denier.”
Thomas' posts also reportedly criticized agriculture and meat consumption, and praised China while denigrating North America.
The candidate’s campaign team did not clarify which of her comments were “taken out of context” in comment to the National Post.
Liberal candidate for Haliburton–Kawartha Lakes Nell Thomas advocated for a carbon tax as recently as January during a climate demonstration in her riding.

In her apology video, the Liberal candidate insisted on her strong morality, but didn't reference the specific posts.
“I am a physician who cares for patients of all ages across every stage of life including end-of-life journeys. I help people find dignity, relieve suffering, and seek peace when existence becomes too heavy to bear,” Thomas said.
“I am also a lifelong environmentalist who cares deeply about the future we are leaving for our children. There is nothing more meaningful to me than caring for moms and their babies,” she claimed.
Thomas appeared less apologetic when talking about the “climate crisis” and the complicity of fossil fuel companies. She expressed sadness that their greed has forced people to question whether or not to have children.

I’m a retired senior and the party behaves as if I don’t contribute anything of value to this country. Never mind that I have investments that allow companies to operate and I pay tax on all my dividends. I’m seen as not having a job and, therefore, have no worth whatsoever.
