This one is probably the most internationally shocking. What started in 2016 as euthanasia for terminal illness has expanded dramatically. One out of every 20 deaths in Canada is now triggered by the government-run assisted dying program, with deaths approaching 110,000 total. In Ontario alone, 219 people were euthanized within one day of their request in 2023. The Free Press
Even more alarming: A Quebec College of Physicians actually recommended legalizing euthanasia for newborn infants with disabilities, and a parliamentary committee recommended allowing assisted death for "mature minors." Substack
The expansion to those suffering solely from mental illness was delayed to 2027 after large numbers of doctors refused to participate and most provinces pushed back. Substack
Questions this raises: Where does it stop? Who decides "mature minor"? Why is the state accelerating this while healthcare waitlists remain broken?
