Blogger Comment: This article shows again that Canadians are being killed at a rate of around 45 a day and where in 2024( increasing by the year) to 15,767 Canadians who were euthanized and where to put this into perspective with other living breathing things, only a mere 2,000 sheltered DOGS were put down in the same year in Canada…therefore what is really happening in Canada now is down to the “very loosely written” legislation for the Act at the very beginning in 2016, and where this has allowed massive manipulation by Canada’s political leaders, ministers, politicians and government Administrators that has allowed them to continually introduce through these many built-in loopholes, to euthanize not just the ‘terminally ill’, but is now a totally open avenue to any Canadian in reality being euthanized under very, very spurious grounds…a crime basically against humanity that is being perpetrated against the people of Canada, and where it will on its present trajectory, become an ever-growing and far more sinister larger numbers every year if not curtailed and reversed back to what it was legislated for and ONLY FOR the ‘Terminally Ill”, not everyone that is now apparently the case based upon the Canadian statistical data figures to date…

The Canadian government is “celebrating” a grim milestone as the nation’s state-run euthanasia program approaches a staggering death toll of 100,000 citizens.
Projections show that nearly 100,000 citizens will have been euthanized through the country’s taxpayer-funded Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) system before the program reaches its 10th anniversary on June 17.
The controversial program has expanded rapidly since its launch, with new figures showing thousands of Canadians now being killed by lethal injection through the “assisted suicide” system each year.
State Euthanasia Deaths Continue to Rise
According to the latest government data cited by The National Post, 15,767 Canadians were euthanized through the MAID program in 2024 alone.
During the same year, only 2,000 shelter dogs in Canada were put down, according to The Vet Desk.
That figure of euthanized citizens represents approximately 5.1 percent of all deaths in the country during that year.
The numbers suggest that roughly 45 Canadians are being euthanized each day.
By comparison, in 2021, a total of 9,842 Canadians died through the program.
Overall deaths under MAiD reached 76,475 by 2024.
The total is nearly twice the number of Canadians killed in combat during World War II, according to figures from the Canadian War Museum.
Critics Warn of Growing Cultural Shift
Opponents of assisted suicide say the rapid growth of Canada’s program demonstrates how quickly such policies can expand once legalized.
Dennis Poust of the New York State Catholic Conference said Canada’s experience serves as a warning for U.S. states considering similar policies.
“The proliferation of assisted suicide in Canada is a human tragedy and societal failing — one that New York is on track to duplicate,” Poust said.
“Canada’s program is indeed a warning, one we pointed to again and again as a harbinger of New York’s future when appealing to lawmakers and the governor,” he added.
“What starts out as a ‘choice’ quickly becomes an expectation for patients, especially the poor and underinsured and people with disabilities.
“Tragically, this is what we can expect here.”
Growing Scrutiny Over Approvals
Canada’s MAID program has faced renewed criticism following reports of rapid approvals for euthanasia requests and allegations that vulnerable individuals may have been pressured into choosing the procedure.
The issue gained attention following the death of 26-year-old Kiano Vafaeian in British Columbia.
Vafaeian, who lived with Type 1 diabetes, vision problems, and seasonal depression, was approved for euthanasia and died on Dec. 30, 2025.
His family has since called for reforms to the system.
“We never thought there would be a chance that any doctor would approve a 22- or 23-year-old at that time for MAID because of diabetes or blindness,” his mother, Margarat Marsilla, said.
In another chilling example, an official government review recently revealed that Canada’s state-run euthanasia regime crossed a horrifying new line after an elderly woman was killed by the state after explicitly saying she wanted to live.
The woman, identified only as “Mrs. B”, was euthanized by the Canadian government within hours of objecting to “assisted suicide.”
She was reportedly euthanized by the government’s socialized healthcare system despite repeatedly stating that she refused euthanasia and wanted hospice care instead.
U.S. States Expand Assisted Suicide Laws
Meanwhile, assisted suicide policies continue to spread across the United States.
New York recently approved the Medical Aid in Dying Act, becoming the 14th state to legalize a version of doctor-assisted suicide.
Religious leaders and critics have warned that the policy could lead to similar trends seen in Canada.
Medical Ethicist Warns of Global Expansion
Dr. Lydia Dugdale, a physician and medical ethicist at Columbia University Medical Center, has warned that euthanasia laws promoted as compassionate solutions may carry unintended consequences.
Dugdale said the practice has expanded rapidly around the world.
“I can completely empathize with the sense that this is a very effective and efficient way to end suffering,” Dugdale said.
“But are we creating new problems by normalizing the taking of life or the taking of one’s own life?”
Dugdale said Canada’s experience raises serious concerns about how physician-assisted suicide could reshape healthcare and end-of-life care.
“It’s now one in 20 or more die from MAID in Canada,” Dugdale said.
“That’s made me more concerned.”
She warned that normalizing euthanasia may alter how society treats the sick and vulnerable.
“Certainly it changes the culture around care of the sick and dying,” Dugdale said.
“Rather than committing to the long, difficult work of caring for the sick, all the way to the point of death, we have an easy out.”
Concerns About Pressure on Vulnerable Patients
Dugdale also warned that assisted suicide laws could create subtle pressure on vulnerable individuals.
Patients who are elderly, disabled, or dependent on others for care may begin to view themselves as burdens.
“I think there’s an additional concern about what happens then for those whose lives we don’t think are worth living, for those who feel a burden on their families or on the community,” Dugdale said.
Research cited by Dugdale also suggests that traditional suicide rates may increase in areas where physician-assisted suicide becomes normalized.
“Once a community is committed to death on demand, then there are many people who feel like they don’t even need to go through the doctor,” Dugdale said.
“Taking one’s own life becomes legitimate.”
