More than 5,000 people in the province died by MAiD in 2022. There were fewer than 1,000 MAiD deaths in Quebec five years ago.
(Euthanasia Prevention Coalition) — On June 7, The Physicians’ Alliance against Euthanasia joined with the Living with Dignity citizen network to express their great disappointment that Bill 11, an Act to amend the Act respecting end-of-life care and other legislative provisions, was passed in the Quebec legislature.
Many people are not aware that Canada has two euthanasia laws, a Quebec law that came into effect in December 2015 and a federal law that came into effect in June 2016. Bill 11 amended the Quebec law.
The Physicians’ Alliance and Living with Dignity reported that Bill 11 will expand euthanasia in Quebec in the following ways:
* creating an obligation for palliative care homes to offer MAiD [Medical Assistance in Dying] (in six months);
* offering MAiD in cases of serious physical disability together with the other criteria of the Act respecting end-of-life care (in nine months);
* offering MAiD by advance request* (in a maximum of 24 months).
The Canadian Press reported that Bill 11 “also allows Quebecers to receive a doctor-assisted death in places other than hospitals, such as funeral homes and long-term care facilities.”
A French-language CBC radio program by Davide Gentile and Daniel Boily reported on February 16, 2023 that more than seven percent of deaths in Quebec were from medical assistance in dying: more than 5,000 people in the province died by MAiD in 2022. There were fewer than 1,000 MAiD deaths in Quebec five years ago.
I reported on February 20, 2023 that the Quebec government Commission on End-of-Life Care had launched a consultation to learn why Quebec has the highest euthanasia rate in........

Sad sad sad. Once you start killing people there’s no stopping it.
Canada is a Satanic hell hole. We are several years behind.
A friend's father was hospitalized last year with a heart attack and hooked up to machines. The attending doctor didn't think the old man would make it. My friend, respecting Dad's wishes to not be on machines, signed a paper approving the de-machining and putting the Dad on "comfort care" which (IN GENERAL) is basically no curative care. That was ok - that was the Dad's wishes.
The old man pulled through, but the hospital refused to put Dad back on fluids or nutrition because - you guessed it - "comfort care" IN THAT HOSPITAL and for THAT DOCTOR is effectively Terri Schaivo-style starvation and dehydration.
They said, food and water was a medical treatment and thus "curative" and AGAINST the rules of "comfort care."
My friend was stunned. And the attending and her team wouldn't budge. For the next few days, my friend and siblings heard from scores of nurses etc that withholding fluids was effectively "the right thing to do"....very Terri Schaivo-like.
It took a virtual miracle whereby a different doctor intervened, said the father clearly wasn't terminal, and put the old man back on nutrition and fluids. My friend's Dad passed away peacefully in his sleep a few weeks later, but it was on the old man’s terms. THAT made a huge difference.
Euthanasia is, technically, illegal. And I know many people would be OK if fluids were withheld when it is THEIR time to go. Fair enough.
But euthanasia can be made legal if you're not careful with Fine Print or vetting the "mercy killing" mindset of the attending.
Before euthanasia became legal in certain countries, I used to hear that the highest suicide rate in the world was in Sweden. Some suspected it was due to the long dark winters.
Now, we have approved corporations of assisted death popping up. This trend is not strongly influenced by seasons, be they light of dark. This trend is driven to some degree by people who have lost all hope. For those with terminal diseases, that’s a different story and an individual’s decision.
Independence is the answer. Full independence. Frogs. Watch the nation freak out.
Canada is just a loser nation, Quebecois even more so. Nothing good has ever come out of Quebec.
