These people are dying to leave Canada.
Canada’s medically assisted suicide is responsible for nearly one in 10 deaths in some part of the country — with one area seeing rates over 13%.
Lanaudière — a mountainous region of Quebec just north of Montreal — had 13.4% of its deaths come from Canada’s medical assistance in dying program (MAID) in 2025, official records showed.
Across French-speaking Quebec, which is Canada’s second most populous province, 6,268 died by assisted suicide that year.
Nearly 8% of all deaths across the province of 8.5 million people were by assisted suicide, according to the health department data.
And it’s not just Quebec where the numbers are high and rising — across Canada in British Columbia more than 7% of deaths that year were through MAID, accounting for 3,189 out of 44,000 deaths in 12 months.
Nationwide, about 1 in 20 deaths were from assisted suicide. Numbers from 2025 are expected to be released soon, but the latest figures show 76,475 people have died by assisted suicide between 2016 when MAID was enacted and 2024.
The median age of assisted suicide patients was about 78 in 2024.
And experts have predicted the total MAID deaths have likely already passed the 100,000 mark as the controversial law turned 10 back in June — even though the official reports may not finalize that grim total for another year or two.
Canada has a population of 42 million and, like most developed economies, birthrates are plunging and the average age is rising.
With the nation’s universal health system, that means the wait times for specialized care has been increasing. The average wait to be treated by a specialist doctor was 28.6 weeks in 2025...

Death panels at work.
Commie Canadians love their free death care.
Canadian doctors:
An opinion I heard last week. A Canadian woman said the government health plan has built in delays for visits, referrals, tests and procedures. If 3 months for one, plus 6 months for another, plus another 6 months delay allows some needed surgery or another solution to be put off too long the patient gets sicker, is in pain and gets depressed. While depressed the “helpful” doctors suggest assisted suicide if the relief will be a human solution. One opponent of assisted suicide, Fr. Robert Spitzer, says some doctors in Scandinavia have been taking the patients off anti-depressants and then questioning them a few days later when they are in despair. Also counseling them that the family (and the government) will save money if they end it now. One story had a witness state the patient was a woman screaming “No, no, I don’t want to die now.” she heard down the corridor. Creepy.
Next stop, USA for el-Sayed in the Senate getting Medicare for All on the books. God forbid.

It’s not a slippery slope if it was part of the program all along.
Do they break it down by ethnicity?
Socialized medicine kills more Canuckistanis than gun related homicides kill Americans. Yet, what is every Nationalist Socialist demonicRAT campaigning for? Socialized medicine. And now you know why. They are obsessed with death.
Pull the plug on Granny...
Coming soon to America once Single payer gets passed..the Govt wont pay for everyone’s procedures so they will have to make “Decisions” on who lives and who dies. If helping you costs too much, they will send you a pamphlet in the mail telling you its best if you just kill yourself, better for you and better for the Govt
Watch the story of the woman with stage 4 ovarian cancer who was on Newsmax, she served in the military so she was able to come to the US along with her husband, she said they got better care at the VA than they ever received in Canada, in fact in Canada they told her to just off herself..now she is getting treated here, clinical trials
Hadn’t heard of it.
As to quality of care, the US is sill great.
Conservative radio host Bill Cunningham had the exact same heart procedure as Mick Jagger with a few months of each other.
He noted that Jagger didn’t avail himself of British surgery or the much praised Cuban universal socialist health care system’s surgery. With all his millions he flew to the US and had the surgery done in the US.
If the Soci-Muslims try to pull off something like this, the assistants on the ‘assisted suicides’ won’t be the physicians. And those ‘assistants’ will like up to get the chance.
Less liberal Canadians? Downside?
Trudeau/Carney are replacing Canadians with the Third World soon Real Canadians will be Extinct
Less liberal Canadians? Downside?
