Over a quarter of Canadians believe that people should have access to euthanasia because of poverty, a new survey has found.
Currently, Canada’s federal guidelines for medical assistance in dying include having a grievous and irremediable medical condition, making a voluntary request for medical assistance in dying that is not the result of outside pressure or influence, and giving informed consent to receive medical assistance in dying.
But according to research by Research CO., a Canada-based public opinion researcher, over a quarter of the country would be content with a further loosening of the rules. Among Canadians, 27% believe that medical assistance in dying should be extended to people in poverty — a figure that rose to 41% among those aged 18-34 — while 28% agreed that assistance should be offered on the grounds of homelessness, 43% for mental illness, and 50% for being disabled.
Since Canada legalised euthanasia in 2016, the country has gone on to become one of the most permissive euthanasia regimes in the world. In 2021, the Canadian parliament enacted Bill C-7, a sweeping euthanasia law which repealed a requirement that only those suffering from a terminal illness whose natural death was “reasonably foreseeable” could request euthanasia.

Too poor? Then die!
It's all so "progressive" you know.
Must be worried about the illegal immigrants headed their way. I guess that’s one way of dealing with the issue.

Canada is a post-modern hellscape. they have accelerated on the scale of wokeness, anti-white racism, post-modernism, atheism and materialism.
Soyboy Justin is considerate a moderate in that world.
I support euthanizing one in four Canadians for a poverty of human feelings.
Hey, how about that end for old folks? Coming soon? You know, not from an overdose of drugs but denying them of essential medical care to keep them alive.
Canuckistan is lost.
Uh… have they considered helping as many people as possible escape poverty? Maybe try to have a business friendly environment and reasonable cost of living?
Maybe, just maybe, value human life? Jesus said something about us loving one another as he loved us, so you must love one another. Hmmm… doesn’t sound like he was being conditional on a person’s income or net worth.
Canada, I liked you better when you were a lot less insane.
I think Canadians should be forcefully euthanized from the richest to the poorest. Anyone with anything to do politically to the head of the line. Is 50 a day enough?
If we euthanize the poor and the wrongthinkers, we can achieve socialist utopia. /Canada
When asked if she supported euthanasia, VP Kamala Harris replied: “of course I do. I love all children, especially oriental kids”.

Can I identify poor?
If you pay no taxes you are poor. I think this solves more than one problem.
White people?
