The Sixth Annual Report on Medical Assistance in Dying in Canada is out. As a point of reference, the population of Canada is approximately 41.5 million, as of 2025. Not much coverage in the MSM. The Canadian medical death machine is ramping up. What you do when your idiot government healthcare bureaucracy can no longer stop even a minor measles outbreak. MAID is the only program in Canadian healthcare without interminable wait lists:

Canada Euthanized a Record 16.4K People Last Year
By Catherine Salgado | December 02, 2025

Canada is now killing many thousands of its citizens every year under the false cloak of mercy, as its socialist healthcare system turns into a full-blown Nazi-like eugenics program.

The “Sixth Annual Report on Medical Assistance in Dying in Canada,” released at the end of last month, proudly declared that this was “the second full year of data collection under the amended Regulations for the Monitoring of Medical Assistance in Dying [MAiD].” Whenever Marxists use a much longer jargon term to describe what they are doing instead of the obvious term, you know they have simply re-labeled something evil to make it sound appealing. “Assistance in dying” is code for “killing those whose lives we consider not worth living.” Welcome to socialist utopia.

Below is the key passage from the Canadian government report about how many people were euthanized in the country last year:

This report details 22,535 reports of MAID requests that Health Canada received in 2024. A total of 16,499 people received MAID; the remaining cases were requests that did not result in a MAID provision (4,017 died of another cause, 1,327 individuals were deemed ineligible and 692 individuals withdrew their request).

Right to Life UK and other outlets and organizations pointed out that this was a record number of assisted suicides in Canada.

Despite the record number of requests, the only slightly hopeful piece of news is that the rate of growth for euthanasia requests has gone down somewhat, although obviously the requests are still increasing:

The annual rate of growth in the number of MAID provisions has decreased significantly over the past several years, from 36.8% between 2019 and 2020 to 6.9% between 2023 and 2024.

It is chilling how the Canadian government can discuss individuals’ lives as if they were merely a statistic, an economic commodity.

The Canadian government confidently assures us that the majority of recipients had “reasonably foreseeable” deaths, and most of them were 75 years of age or older. But people are not commodities or animals whom we put down when they are “broken” in some way. That is exactly how the Nazis thought when they killed the old and infirm. The eugenicists saw them as useless, and therefore expendable, the exact opposite of a Judeo-Christian ethic.

Unfortunately, Western nations that legalized the killing of unborn babies years ago have gone to the next logical but awful step of mass euthanasia. Some Canadian officials have even discussed allowing young people to euthanize themselves. Back in 2023, there were accusations that a shortage of organs in the Canadian healthcare system might be driving some approvals for assisted suicide.

Disabled homeless man Amir Farsoud made headlines a couple of years ago when he decided to choose assisted suicide over a homeless winter and found out his disability qualified him. “I don’t want to die, but I don’t want to be homeless more than I want to die,” Farsoud said. “MAID As an Alternative to Poverty” ended up raising so much awareness about his condition that people raised money and helped him get his life on track. Later, Farsoud revealed that he was very clear with his doctor about his reasons for asking for euthanasia, that the doctors knew perfectly well he did not have a severe and incurable condition, but put him on the death list anyway.

You see, in a socialist healthcare system, it is much cheaper to kill someone like Farsoud than to treat him.

An Alberta provincial bill would limit medical assistance in dying (MAiD). This is the first attempt in Canada to limit euthanasia since it became legal in 2016. It comes one year before people, whose only medical condition is mental illness, are euthanized:

Alberta seeks to set limits on use of medically assisted dying
By Jessica Murphy and Sareen Habeshian - March 18, 2026

Alberta has proposed a bill that would limit the use of medically assisted dying - also known as voluntary euthanasia - in the Canadian province solely to end-of-life circumstances.

In 2021, Canada expanded access to medically assisted dying, known domestically by the acronym Maid, to people with serious, incurable illnesses or disabilities, even if their death is not reasonably foreseeable.

Canada is also due to expand access next year to people whose only medical condition is mental illness, though that has twice been delayed.

Alberta is the first jurisdiction in Canada to independently propose limits to the practice.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, said during a news conference on Wednesday that Maid should only be an option for those with no hope of recovery.

"This legislation strengthens safeguards and restores clear limits on eligibility to protect vulnerable Albertans facing mental illness or living with disabilities," she said. "Those struggling with severe mental health challenges need treatment, compassion and support, not a path to end their life at what may be their lowest moment."

The proposed seeks to prohibit doctors from unilaterally raising Maid with patients and banning its public advertising in healthcare facilities. It would also enshrine conscience protections for healthcare professionals and institutions.

While polls indicate there is broad support in Canada for medically assisted dying, there has also been widespread debate about the programme's expansion and concerns over whether appropriate safeguards are in place.

Canada first legalised euthanasia in 2016 for people with terminal illnesses before expanding it to people with serious and chronic physical conditions, following a court case in the province of Quebec.

Medically assisted deaths accounted for roughly 5% of deaths in Canada, according to federal government data.

In 2024, the vast majority – around 96% - had a death deemed "reasonably foreseeable", due to severe medical conditions such as cancer.

In a small minority of assisted-death cases, patients may not have been terminally ill, but sought to end their lives due to a long and complicated illness that had significantly impacted their quality of life.

Canada is among a few countries that have introduced assisted-dying laws in the past decade. Others include Australia, New Zealand, Spain and Austria.

While eligibility for Maid in Canada is established federally, provinces are responsible for the delivery and regulation of healthcare.

In Canada, people over 18 must meet several requirements to be eligible for assisted dying.

They include having a "serious and incurable illness", making a "voluntary request that is not the result of external pressure" and being in an "advanced state of irreversible decline in capability".

Two independent doctors or nurse practitioners must then assess the patient to confirm that all of the eligibility requirements are met.

Moira Wilson, president of Inclusion Canada, a national organisation that works to support people with intellectual disabilities, said in a statement that they welcomed the proposed legislation in Alberta and urged other provinces to follow suit.

It "demonstrates that governments can strengthen laws and better protect people whose lives are not nearing an end", she said.

"We urge the federal government to review Canada's Maid law and ensure the same level of protection exists for people with disabilities across the country."

The legislation also garnered support from Mara Grunau, chief executive of the Canadian Mental Health Association's Alberta division, who said in a statement that "Recovery from mental illness and suicidality is possible, expected even".

"For that reason, we welcome the steps Alberta is taking to strengthen protections for those experiencing mental illness," added Grunau, who also leads the Centre for Suicide Prevention.

But supporters of expanded access to Maid criticised the proposal. Helen Long, chief executive of Dying with Dignity Canada, called the legislation a "direct attempt to circumvent the constitutional criminal law authority" and said it limits patient autonomy.

She told the BBC in a statement that she believes it creates "additional barriers for individuals who are suffering and who wish to exercise choice".
