Canada's number one in the world for euthanasia
Euthanasia killed more Canadians in 2022 than all reasons except for accidents, COVID-19, heart diseases, and cancer.

Tonight, on The Ezra Levant Show, a longform interview with Amanda Achtman, human life activist and founder of the Dying to Meet you Project.
"I am completely focused to preventing euthanasia and encouraging hope across Canada and really now around the world," Achtman told Rebel News. "Canada has become a complete cautionary tale for the rest of the world, of the path not to go down," she added.
As a percentage of all Canadian deaths, euthanasia amounts to 4.18% of deaths in 2022, a thirteenfold increase from 2016, according to a new report from Cardus, a think tank. Health Canada in May 2022 extrapolated assisted suicide deaths would not constitute 4% of annual deaths until 2033.
Euthanasia in peer countries comprised 1.96% (Netherlands), 0.79% (Belgium) and 0.48% (Switzerland) of total deaths, reported the Hub.
After medical assistance in dying (MAID) became legal in 2016, a Québec court expanded access after it ruled the "reasonably foreseeable" death clause unconstitutional.
In 2021, the Trudeau government permitted anyone with "a serious and incurable illness, disease or disability" who is in "an advanced state of irreversible decline" to access MAID — not including the mentally ill.
Three in five (61%) Canadians support current legislation, according to an earlier Angus Reid poll conducted with Cardus. That fell to 31% when offered to patients with irredeemable mental illness.
"We have had about 70,000 Canadians euthanized since it was legalized nationwide in 2016," Achtman said. "More Canadians have been killed by doctors and nurses in hospitals and homes than the total number of Canadians who died of COVID-19," she added.
In 2022, MAID killed more Canadians than all reasons except accidents, COVID-19, heart diseases, and cancer.
"All of a sudden, Canada has become the death capital of the world," the activist said.

Harry Pollett commented 2024-11-16 10:26:06 -0500I am not totally opposed to the use of MAID when death is inevitable, but there is a tendency to attempt to use it in place of adequate and timely medical or surgical care. MAID is a lot cheaper than a total hip replacement, so it makes fiscal sense to the government, but not moral sense.

Bruce Atchison commented 2024-11-14 22:15:11 -0500Trudeau and his globalist ambitions are partly to blame for this drift toward extermination of the weak. People like me, old and almost blind, are thought of as a burden to the strong. So the globalists want to put folks like me to death because we have a negative economic and social value. The Christian ethic of seeing each person as made in the image of God is being erased from our society. And while the Nazis hid what they were up to, our modern globalists are making it a virtue to die and give the planet a break. I don’t have the figures but I feel that many of those being put to death like unwanted animals are of European ancestry.
