Health Canada’s latest findings that assisted suicide made up 4% of all deaths in Canada has raised alarm among various groups and experts who are calling for more comprehensive palliative care options and a reconsideration of expanding eligibility for euthanasia.
Health Canada released its fourth annual report on Medical Assistance in Dying in Canada Wednesday, revealing that assisted suicide accounted for 4.1% of all deaths in the country during the past year, marking a substantial increase from previous years.
In 2022, there were 13,241 Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) deaths reported, reflecting a staggering 31.2% growth rate compared to the previous year.
The data also showed that all provinces, except Manitoba and the Yukon, witnessed a steady year-over-year increase in medically assisted deaths. Since the introduction of federal MAID legislation in 2016, 44,958 medically assisted deaths have been reported in Canada.
Medical ethics journalist Alexander Raikin pointed out on X (formerly Twitter) that if assisted suicide were listed as an official cause of death, it would be the fifth leading cause of death in Canada.

Holy genocide, Batman!
Total deaths per 100K is 1,043.8. Suicides per 100K is 14.1.
I forgot about Canada.
At least they’re hopefully killing off old liberals. I can’t see anyone snow-shoeing in from the cabin for his assisted suicide.
Sounds like the Canucks can’t wait to get the hell out.
We now have as many or more assisted suicides as drug overdose deaths.
Between the two, almost 10 percent of all deaths.
Liberals in Canada are probably saying, "It's a start."
If Canada has banned or rationed all of its most powerful pain killers - like the USA has - who can blame the terminally ill for wanting a medically assisted death?
Unfortunately we’ll never know the number of hospice deaths that were actually assisted suicide.
It will be more when it is legal.
That’s what the democrats will be saying after the Illegals take take over here about us.
The less Canadians, the better. Glad to see that they’re into offing themselves!
Gross
If they work the thought crimes angle they should be able to get it up to 10%.
Funny how they always have the drugs for assisted suicide but not executions.
“At least they’re hopefully killing off old liberals”
Hardy-har-har. They are killing the poor, rather than provide them aid. They are killing veterans rather than provide them reasonable help. Like the woman who needed a chair lift for her staircase and was told: why don’t you let us kill you instead.
It just ain’t funny, not one little bit.
If the last two weeks have shown us nothing else, we need to see that Western Civilization, those “liberal” values of Freedom that most of us have taken for granted (not without gratitude, but just assume to exist) are hanging by a thin thread.
Not my country. Don’t care. Sorry.
