The Daily Mail contacted the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition wondering about our projections for the number of Canadian euthanasia deaths in 2022. EPC has published articles reporting the number of 2022 euthanasia deaths in Ontario, Alberta, Manitoba, Québec and recently we found the Nova Scotia data. Based on the known data I suggested that there were likely 13,500 Canadian euthanasia deaths in 2022.
The article by James Reinl, the social affairs columnist for the Daily Mail reported the following on June 7:
Canada has seen another record-busting year of euthanasia deaths, with a 35 percent rise to some 13,500 state-sanctioned suicides in 2022, an analysis of official data shows.
Canada’s health chiefs won’t release their formal tally for some weeks, but data from Ontario, Alberta, Quebec, and Nova Scotia already show steep rises in euthanasia deaths last year.
Based on those numbers, the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, a campaign group, assessed that Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) cases rose from 10,064 in 2021 to some 13,500 in 2022.
The article quotes me as saying:
Alex Schadenberg, Executive Director of the Coalition, said euthanasia rates were ‘skyrocketing’ because a ‘heavy promotion of MAiD within our medical system’ had ‘normalized’ lethal injections.
‘Every major healthcare institution has a MAiD team which will literally approach everyone who may qualify for MAiD and ask them if they want to die,’ Schadenberg told DailyMail.com.
The article interviewed Daniel Zekfeld from ARPA who tells Reinl:
‘Instead of normalizing euthanasia and accepting the deaths of thousands of Canadians, Canada needs to promote suicide prevention and life-affirming care for all.’
Reinl explains that the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition projections are based on the big increase in euthanasia deaths in Ontario, Québec and Alberta. (Notice that British Columbia, which had the highest euthanasia rate in 2021, has not released it’s data).

Aktion T4…. Now in maple flavor!
Isn’t amoral culture something to behold.
Human life is as disposable as a used car.
Funny how there are groups that harass companies about cruel and unusual use of chemicals used in lethal injection of convicted criminals, but they don’t complain about those same chemicals being cruel when used to snuff out the depressed and the mentally ill.
But, the death penalty for crimes is illegal.
One valid reason that the country is up in flames.
Keep it up Cananda...Keep it up
Canada will have 10,000+ fentanyl deaths as well as even more MAID deaths.
Total gun deaths was less than 1000.
Guess which one Trudeau la tapette is working on ?
Coming to the United States for the elderly and conservatives (who will be deemed mentally ill and not fixable).
I’m just imagining thier Chief Actuarian in the Budget and Planning Dept, preparing charts and whatnot to show Trudeau how much money Canada is saving, now that there are 13,500 less “units” costing the gov’t money...
