This is what happens when you have socialist healthcare and increasingly open AND encouraged euthanasia. And their liberal government continues to push more lax reasons to kill yourself.

According to the 20242025 Report of the Commission on End-of-Life Care, deaths under the Canadian government's Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program accounted for 7.4% of all deaths in Quebec.

The figure marks an alarming 9% increase in just one year.

"The Commission notes that MAiD is in increasing demand and occupies an important place in the public sphere in Quebec," the report states.

The percentages of who and why are taking the state-run suicide offer is even more depressing:

Quote:

---

Despite that assurance, the commission's findings expose troubling trends.

Half of all of the individuals euthanized had said they felt like a burden to family, friends, or caregivers, while 24% cited loneliness or isolation as reasons for ending their lives.

Even more alarming, the report found that 4% of euthanasia deaths were fulfilled the same day or the next day, leaving little time for medical review or counseling.

---

But it only gets worse. They are looking to further expand scheduling and rationale for euthanasia:

Quote:

---

The data reveals that the percentage of "assisted suicide" deaths involving a terminal illness is shrinking, while the number of people euthanized for poverty, depression, loneliness, or other non-permanent issues is skyrocketing.
A growing number of people are reporting that they are being pressured or "bullied" into "choosing" euthanasia over more expensive treatments.

---

Of course, the entire concept of state-run euthanasia, coupled with state-provided health care represents a giant conflict of interest, and people are dying as a result:

Quote:

---

As Slay News has previously reported, the Canadian government's socialized healthcare system is now saving tens of millions of dollars a year by euthanizing patients instead of treating them, creating new incentives under a chilling culture of death.

It should be a giant red flag that the only thing government is efficient for is killing off their own citizens.

1-2 days to kill 4% of euthanasia applicants, when housing permits probably take months if not longer.

I would look for other sources other than Slaynews, which is a notorious fake news site.

Yes, they will toss out some factual info now and then to try to appear legit, but even those articles are often only somewhat accurate.

Those Quebec folks get the double whammy, they have to deal with the idiots in Canada government AND they are French. Poor souls.

Yes, this data needs to come from or reference an official government source. I know they are pushing it pretty hard up there but I don't think it seems plausible there are that many suicidal Canucks.

Very ambivalent about this. There are circumstances where self-ending when at the extreme end of life makes sense, much like the aged villager who walked out into the wild when a new child was born to not strain the resources. This when it is a fully considered decision, however....

The real concern is the potential for abuse in cases of big inheritances being passed down, relatives kind of "ushering in" the choice. Or governments doing it for reduction of costs reasons --- the much ridiculed health care rationing Sarah Palin warned about.

It's ok! They'd die anyway!

Amazing…..1-2 days to kill a person, but weeks to get a change in chemo.

When a liberal rag like The Atlantic is reporting on it and showing concern, then chances are the Slaynews article is correct, and the numbers provided by the government are probably a lot worse.

MAID now accounts for about one in 20 deaths in Canadamore than Alzheimer's and diabetes combinedsurpassing countries where assisted dying has been legal for far longer.

It is too soon to call euthanasia a lifestyle option in Canada, but from the outset it has proved a case study in momentum. MAID began as a practice limited to gravely ill patients who were already at the end of life. The law was then expanded to include people who were suffering from serious medical conditions but not facing imminent death. In two years, MAID will be made available to those suffering only from mental illness. Parliament has also recommended granting access to minors.

I'm of two minds on this topic - I recently lost my father after a 5+ year battle with Lewy Body dementia and over 18 months with hospice services and he fought to the end. His will to live was strong until his last breath and I would never take that away from him.

On the other hand, a good family friend had metastatic breast caner and she had been through all the treatments. Her esophagus had closed and she was on IV nutrition for almost 2 months. It was clear she wasn't getting out of it and it was probably going to end badly. She was looking into death with dignity when she had a surgery to try to relieve the esophagus and she didn't make it through it.

So, I don't know what I would do in that situation but it's not always cut and dried IMO.

It's even got the cute, but diabolical acronym! MAiD.

The people don't even realize it's the government cleansing itself of having to pay for things.

Liberals need to wrap their heads around who the real evil is in government, especially when it's put plainly in front of them.

the canadian govt should be euthanized.

Communist agenda item

You conservatives and your conspiracy theories.
























Well you keep hitting homeruns. Keep it up.

Canada a country of about 30M killed about 15,000 people in 2024 through the MAID program.



To put that in perspective, per FBI stats the total number of murders in the US, a country of about 330M was 16,935




Edit

Or in other words, Canada kills its citizens at a rate of 10X greater than what criminals in America do to US citizens.

But Trump is Literally Hitler.

Meanwhile, Canada is getting rid of "useless eaters" as policy.

FTR, I can understand this for terminal illness and if you are in extreme physical pain. I can get there on that topic as someone who experienced excruciating, almost unmanageable pain while I waited for back surgery.

However, allowing this for people who are just lonely and want to do it on a whim is a slippery slope of evil.

Drive without a seat belt - illegal.
Ride a motorcycle without a helmet - illegal.
Taking a controlled substance - illegal.
Kill yourself - we'll help!

This!

Actually, it's always easier for folks on the outside of a situation to make the glaring comment of "he/she should be put out of their misery", as I'm sure any government known to man would merrily do if they controlled the healthcare.

No one, except maybe for our resident sociopaths, enjoys seeing someone suffer. However, I guarantee you that particular situation, in time, won't be terribly different than putting down the family dog/cat.

Can y'all imagine how many healthcare Dems would push to murder a patient they found out to be a conservative, or basically a believer in freedom?

I'll bet the vast majority of the elderly that they are sticking in the Zyklon B showers are white, native born people. Accelerates the Great Replacement AND bails out their ****ty socialized medicine program. Win/win!

I know there are cases of misuse of euthanasia laws, like a LGBTQ pre-teen depressed because they are denied gender-affirming medical care. OK, a more than exaggerated example.

Still, I have seen cases where it would be hard for me to argue against. One case comes to mind from several years ago. A newlywed woman was diagnosed with brain cancer. She was at high risk of having a seizure that would leave her alive, but suffering and in pain. Or she could kill herself on her own terms.

Which she eventually did, moving to Oregon to take advantage of their laws.

After watching my dad slowly die from stage 4 colon cancer, and after having him beg ME to kill him while he was in hospice because he was in so much pain. I do think in some cases euthanasia is warranted. I sometimes still tear up when thinking about one of the strongest men I've ever known wasting away to nothing before dying.

I will in no way equate the pain I had with your dad's, but until someone has experienced major pain they can't really fathom it. It consumes your every waking second both mentally and physically.

We were visiting Nova Scotia and had to use their healthcare a few years ago.

The MAiD pamphlets are everywhere within the Nova Scotia Health Authority system. I wouldn't be surprised if they have them in pediatric clinics.

So just hear me out, I agree this is wrong, but maybe Canadian conservatives should let this run its course before intervening. Just like we did by letting liberal parents sterilize their own children to move up the intersectional ladder, maybe conservatives should let this play out for a while.

Yeah, could see that. There is also the point and factor that if very late life you are where you can no longer accomplish what seek with any upswing still feasible, to burden others becomes dubious.

Would you say that Canada has...Death Panels?

Nah...

Those are a myth...

Quote:

Palin's claim has been referred to as the "death panel myth", as nothing in any proposed legislation would have led to individuals being judged to see if they were worthy of health care.

The problem with Canada is that their doctors and nurses have been repeatedly caught bringing it up to patients who have shown no interest in it and suggesting and encouraging it. An Alberta woman with cerebral palsy was told by a nurse that she should consider euthanasia because she just existing, not living. When she questioned the nurse who she was to judge what was living or not, the nurse said she was being selfish. Canadian health professionals have been known to push that idea, that those who are chronically ill or elderly are selfish for being a burden to their families and taxpayers finding the medical system.

The leftist agenda, in no particular order:

- end your genetic line by not having babies
- neuter yourself with surgery and chemical castration before adulthood
- if you do get pregnant, murder it
- kill yourself
- no assets should be "yours", just allow the government to redistribute all of it
- end families
- end Faith
- hate your own country
- hate your own race
- hate your own gender


That about cover it?

Patient : "Doctor, when I run a lot, my knees really hurt. Is there a way to help stabilize my knees to prevent whatever damage is happening and causing my pain?"

Dr: "Yeah, there are, they sell them at WalMart. $25.99 But, have you heard about our new program called MAiD? That will help GREATLY!"

Loyal servants of Satan, aren't they?

A dead patient is an efficient patient.

A great tragedy of government telling citizens the state supports their suicide. Probably the one specialty service that Canadians do not have to wait 6 months for.
