Canadian Euthanasia Soars More Than 35%, Now Representing 4.2% of All Deaths

Canada is one of only seven countries in the world where euthanasia is permitted, and in just a few short years, it has become arguably the most permissive of all. Legalized in 2016, deaths from euthanasia has increased year over year, growing between 30-36% each time.

In 2021, 10,064 people were euthanized and were subjected to state-sponsored suicide. This is compared to 2020, which had 7383 deaths, and 2019, which saw 5424. Currently, the 10,064 number represents 3.3% of all deaths in Canada or 1/3050 people.

This trend shows no sign of stopping. According to a report from the Daily Mail:

Canada has seen another record-busting year of euthanasia deaths, with a 35 percent rise to some 13,500 state-sanctioned suicides in 2022, an analysis of official data shows.

Canada’s health chiefs won’t release their formal tally for some weeks, but data from Ontario, Alberta, Quebec, and Nova Scotia already show steep rises in euthanasia deaths last year.

Based on those numbers, the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, a campaign group, assessed that Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) cases rose from 10,064 in 2021 to some 13,500 in 2022.

This now represents 4.2% of all deaths in the country. If trends hold steady, it will represent over 5% of deaths in 2023.

Critics say it’s on a perilous road to mass euthanasia and ever-more pressure on the sick, disabled and poor to end their lives prematurely.

Alex Schadenberg, director of the coalition, said euthanasia rates were ‘skyrocketing’ because a ‘heavy promotion of MAiD within our medical system’ had ‘normalized’ lethal injections. ‘Every major healthcare institution has a MAiD team which will literally approach everyone who may qualify for MAiD and ask them if they want to die,’

The Daily Mail further notes that “7% of all deaths in Quebec are state-sanctioned, making it the third top cause of death in the province after cancer and heart disease.”

There have been several cases in Canada of people getting euthanized because of financial stress, including one woman who requested to die because she ‘simply cannot afford to keep on living.’ In a survey last month, 25% of Canadians said people should have access to euthanasia because of poverty or homelessness. 

Canadian politicians are currently debating whether or not to extend access to euthanasia for children and the mentally ill.

    1. My most recent pay test was for a 12-hour-per-week internet job for 9,500 dollars. For months, my sister’s friend has been making an average of 15,000, and she puts in about 20 hours every week. As soon as I gave it a try, I was shocked at how simple it was.

  2. It’s really messed up how euthanasia isn’t just tolerated for people who demand it but promoted and glamorized. Last fall, Simons (Canadian fashion store) made a TV commercial glamorizing a woman committing suicide because she had Ehlers Danlos syndrome. In Canada it is illegal to advertise any prescription drugs to the general public for the treatment, prevention or cure of certain serious diseases but suicide is A-OK.

    If we can’t control them we might as well unalive them.
