Canada is doing its part in keeping the global population down.
"“MAiD now accounts for 5.1 percent of all deaths in Canada – one in every 20 deaths was due to MAiD in 2024, with a total of 16,499 MAiD deaths reported by Health Canada’s latest Annual Report. Canada’s MAiD deaths as a percentage of total deaths remain the second highest in the world. So, Health Canada’s report confirms what Alexander Raikin laid out in a Cardus report last year: MAiD has gone from exceptional to routine. This is a far cry from the expectations established by courts and political leaders in legalizing euthanasia and assisted suicide."

Yet, the proponents of Assisted Suicide say it is not being abused.
The same reason why communism is coming back into fashion. According to these freaks, it’s people that are killed the earth, like a cancer. No system of government has killed more people than communism, yet we have a communist in charge of our most important city. Maybe Mamdani will suggest assisted suicide for the homeless problem he is making worse.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
And although Health Canada reports that almost three-quarters of MAiD recipients received palliative care, this data means very little without an assessment of the adequacy or comprehensiveness of these services. Moreover, when more than a third of MAiD recipients who required and received palliative care only had it for less than a month, it raises serious concerns about the timeliness of the palliative care they received.
Palliative care should be provided at the point of diagnosis of a life-limiting or life-threatening illness or condition, but we simply don’t know how many Canadians received palliative care before requesting a MAiD death. In other words, if palliative care is only provided after a MAiD request due to what a patient considers ‘unbearable’ suffering, then it seems like palliative care is too little and too late in many cases.”
The bolded is not just a CANADIAN PROBLEM, most doctors here in America do not understanding/implement palliative care..that was reported by the WSJ several years ago....here's a personal story I was part of...a casual neighbor stopped my husband and was in tears,her husband was terminal with prostrate cancer and in TREMENDOUS PAIN, THE DOCTOR WOULD NOT GIVE HIM PAIN KILLER ,R U R READY FOR THIS....because he thought he could get addicted/ She was asking what hospital did M.A.I.D, because they refused his request here in montrose regional hos....I knew what hospital and my husband called me to get the information for her. BUT, he would have had to be a patient already registered. THE IGNORANT DOCTOR did not admit to palliative care and did not take care of his pain.
The clampdown on opioid abuse had some bad side effects.
I knew a bedridden older woman who would run out of her painkillers with one week of the month remaining. She tried to get more, but her doctor said he would lose his license if he gave her more. Told her he would drop her as a patient if she asked again.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
The state laws with regard opiate prescriptions are what they are. In the state of Colorado, an M.D.can indeed have his/her license revoked for over prescription. You want the law changed vote for change.
It is not a Canadian problem, rather it is used as a cost control measure, pure and simple.
the REAL issue is palliative care....THIS doctor, who did not want to prescribe,should have immediately submitted patient to palliative care....then it would have been off his plate..PALLIATIVE CARE IS THE PLACE WHERE THEY MANAGE PAIN (LEGALLY) and then when it has progressed, hospice takes over with pain management...the doctors r NOT implementing this choice and that is the issue.
