Canada performed thousands of same-day assisted suicides, as it was revealed one elderly woman was killed despite withdrawing her request the day before.
The medical assistance in dying (MAiD) program was approved in 2016 and has since been expanded to include requests from patients whose deaths are 'not reasonably foreseeable,' and will soon include those with mental illness.
More than 200 people in Ontario alone chose to die within 24 hours of their approval in 2023, a 2024 Ontario report found, The Free Press first reported.
Of the 219 deaths, 30 percent of them chose a same-day procedure.
In 2024 alone, across all of Canada, 16,500 people participated in the MAiD program, including a woman only identified as Mrs B.
Mrs B had undergone a coronary artery bypass graft, which led to several medical complications afterward, including additional surgeries, forcing her to opt for a palliative care approach to treatment, the Ontario report said.
The woman, who was in her 80s, later expressed to her family that she desired an assisted suicide. On her behalf, her spouse requested MAiD, and the following day, a MAiD practitioner assessed her eligibility.
Mrs B told the practitioner that she wanted to withdraw her request after rethinking, citing religious and personal reasons, and that she'd like to continue with hospice care and palliative sedation, the report said.

Hopefully, there will be time for Canada to reverse its course to future third-world existence. It’s sad that the Uk, along with all of its formerly respectable colonies (this includes us), are quietly bending over and presenting their Obama-hole to the leftists. I hope that we all formerly recognize the true awfuless of all things left and render them to the future that they truly deserve.
Let us remember that when the left touches something, it WILL turn to shi...er...turn to Obamastuff.
