Surge in medically assisted deaths under Canada’s MAID program outpaces every other country
Toronto Star ^ | January 27, 2024 | Masih Khalatbari

Canada’s psychiatric community has been divided on the country’s emergence as a global leader in assisted death under the MAID program.

The number of Canadians ending their lives through medically assisted death has grown at a speed that outpaces every other nation in the world.

As Canada is poised to expand eligibility criteria under medical assistance in dying (MAID) legislation, data from all 11 countries where the controversial end-of-life treatment exists shows Canada is the fastest-growing adopter in history, an analysis by the Investigative Journalism Bureau and the Toronto Star has found.

Left wing government makes life miserable for people and then encourages them to kill themselves.

Killing off the old Canadians who are mostly White anyway - White is being eliminated. Their replacements are crossing the borders.

Oh sick Canada. Force those vaxes on people and fix the damage with assisted suicide.

Get rid of all kinds of problems like drug addiction, over population, any disease, psychiatric issues.

Someone should suggest Justin and Chrystia submit to this for their extreme mental issues.

The phrase, “Going to (the) hospital”, is taking on a whole new meaning in Canada and the US.

Doctors no longer care about saving life, at least not enough.

Its one thing if mentally ill Canadians want to throw themselves off a bridge...

But this law will give doctors permission to throw unwilling people off there too...

Relatives of sick people could get rid of the person for their money, property and belongings ...

Uncle John is not dying fast enough to suit...

When you have socialized medicine, it’s cheaper to kill off the sick and aged than to provide care to them.

When the Government controls who gets medical treatment and who doesn’t the end result is killing off the undesirable.

Yes. “Going Home”.

Edward G Robinson was great, in that movie! I’ll bet he got more than you get in a Canadian hospital, too!

Socialists are content to get the government to provide cradle to grave care.

Independents want to live free or die.

Do the math.

Perfect solution, Oh Canada! Can't get that wheelchair/knee replacement/meals-on-wheels, Grandma? Life is miserable
without a bit of medical assistance? Then, off yourself.

Can't shake the drugs/alcohol/food addiction without therapy, Sonny? Come to the clinic and we will eliminate
your anguish.

We really need the tax money to support the new "immigrants," and you worthless white eater/breeders need to take some chill pills. 😁
