Canada is soon set to reach a milestone unlike any other nation, as this year it is expected that over 100,000 Canadians will have died by state-sanctioned and promoted euthanasia.
The grim milestone comes 10 years after Canada’s euthanasia or “Medical Assistance in Dying” (“MAID”) program became legal, in 2016, under former Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
This means that, on average, about 45 Canadians die per day from euthanasia, and 16,499 people died due to the practice in 2024 alone.
Commentator and activist Kelsi Sheren, in a recent blog post, highlighted Canada’s euthanasia deaths, noting Canada is “about to kill its 100,000th citizen through Medical Assistance in Dying”.
