Elderly, Disabled, Poor, Lonely, Indigenous, "Mentally Ill," all Targeted. Sound Familiar? 15,343 Canadians Were Euthanized in 2023 And Numbers Are Climbing Steeply
I'm 73. I live in Montreal. Over k. Ov. iD my phone and door bell were ringing and knocking every other day for 2 and a half years. At the stopping of it all my phone started to ring one day from 8 am to 10.30 pm non stop ( every 15/20 seconds) all the fake numbers they used to try and get me to answer. It was the so called medical establishment calling. It started with my family doctors office calling 4 times and sending me a letter by mail to convince me to get the jab or else... my file will be destroyed (it's gone). My specialist (of 40 yrs.) called me (first time personal call to me) and told me I have to "do as they say or " I will be in trouble with the medical establishment" his words not mine. I know they will CULL me because they are in my opinion a DEATH CULT for profit. We in Canada are a captured Nation by design and we are in trouble folks. Time to listen to your elders. They are coming for those of us who aren't dead yet. Be Blessed. Yes I'm white???
God bless you. I have a strong sense that this entire opp is correlated directly with the importation of large numbers of "immigrants" from Asia. I'll bet the vast majority of people targeted by MAID are European Canadians. In fact, I am certain of it. I cannot tell you how angry this makes me.
It's happening everywhere. It was 'pushed' strongly by David Wilkerson's daughter 7-8 yrs. ago on FB under the guise of 'Death with Dignity'. They had buried a son, as I have, who had suffered much with some disease. Her husband was also selling it as 'mercy killing' among Parent Bereavement groups. I called them out on it big time. This is NOT something her father ever would have supported. After contacting Wilkerson's son and exposing it everywhere I could, they finally backed off of it...at least back then.
I understand their grief, which I can truly say, but killing is not the answer. They also had millions of followers, and many so-called Christians supported them in this, to my dismay.
Back in the 70's-80's when abortion began to be the 'thing', I would say to people that it will lead to euthanasia. I was looked at as one who had lost her marbles. No one believed me. Yet here we are. We are the same age, Patricia, and I do understand your concerns. It is more rampant and accepted in Canada from what I have been reading, but it does exist most everywhere. Life is no longer valued. If you are not deemed a contributing person to society, you're on the list.

"Men have forgotten God; that's why all this has happened."- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Mammon is their god, and you can't serve both.
MT. 6:24 “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon."
Anyone have the exact numbers of payments per jabbed person, in Canada? I heard, if you would not come in, and they had to call you, medical staff were paid a very high sum. I heard up to $1000.
We are in SUCH deep sh*t here in Canuckistan, so thanks for writing about it. The PM, an even worse WEF monster than Fraudeau, got in by hook and by crook, and it is now absolutely spiralling out of control.
The US HEALTHSCARE SYSTEM are killing people too. The only difference between what Canada's MAID is doing and what the US is doing, is the Canadians that are being Euthanized are doing it willingly, US HEALTHSCARE are killing people that come to them to save their lives. Silly people. Medical Doctors are one of the leading causes of premature death, and a whole lot of misery and suffering.
It's a chilling transition from a promise to give people with ALS an option to ease their suffering (and other similar examples that the public was given when MAID was first presented). But since 2016 when MAID was to be offered to those "whose death was reasonably foreseeable," in 2025 it can be offered to those on disability, those who are depressed, those who are poor, those who are frail... We've lost our moral compass, and the establishment (and their voting base) are in no mood to reflect upon, or examine, their march of folly. Caring for people, or helping them reinvigorate themselves, are apparent luxuries given the default of MAID as a quick fix for anyone who is not at their peak.
"Euthanasia and Voluntariness Historically, euthanasia has meant a voluntary request for death without suffering by the patient. However, in the 17th century its meaning was modified to grant the right to alleviate suffering exclusively to physicians. While the meaning and implications of euthanasia changed somewhat over time, it was universally accepted that the act of euthanasia was always voluntary. That is, when individuals exercised their right to voluntarily choose the timing and the manner of their death as a means of ending their suffering, it was a physician's responsibility to assist them.
However, in the 1890s the meaning of euthanasia in Europe, and especially in Germany, came to include two other aspects. First, the notion of a voluntary "right to die" was extended to mean that in some instances the request for euthanasia could be made by persons other than the suffering patient. Second, the extraordinary levels of care accorded the terminally ill and asylum inmates again raised the issue of negative human worth and underlined the possibility of involuntary euthanasia; that is, the economic burden that terminal illness or caring for the insane placed on families, caregivers, and the community was a factor to consider in decisions for euthanasia.
In one sense, therefore, the debate quickly shifted from the idea of a "gentle death" itself to who would request or abet the patient's demise. Subsequent branches of the debate took up the notion of suffering among humans as comparable to that of animals and the implication that in certain instances humans could be disposed of in the same way — quickly and painlessly. The distinction between voluntary euthanasia and involuntary killing was thus effectively eradicated, and an ominous term was coined for the first time: "life unworthy of life."
In 1920 the concept of living beings not worthy of the life they embodied gained impetus with a tract published by two university professors, Karl Binding and Alfred Hoche. Permission ,for the Destruction of Life Unworthy of Life articulated key implications for people with disabilities. Binding and Roche called for the killing of people with disabilities, whom they viewed as "incurable idiots" having no will or sense of living. Killing them, therefore, was hardly involuntary euthanasia, that is, the imposition of others' will upon them. This shifted the burden of human existence from simply being alive to requiring an explicit justification for living.
For Binding and Roche, therefore, the right to live was to he earned, not assumed. One earned the right to live by being a useful economic contributor to society. Chief among the individuals they saw as being useless were those who seemed to have little or no human feeling, or in their terms, "empty human husks" whose only societal function was the consuming of precious resources while contributing nothing to society in return. In Binding and Hoche's terms, they were "useless eaters" whose "ballast lives" could be tossed overboard to better balance the economic ship of state.
In speaking of those with disabilities, and explicitly advocating involuntary euthanasia, Binding and Hoche wrote, Their life is absolutely pointless, but they do not regard it as being unbearable. They are a terrible, heavy burden upon their relatives and society as a whole. Their death would not create even the smallest gap — except perhaps in the feelings of their mothers or loyal nurses. Furthermore, Binding and Hoche drove home the economic argument by calculating the total cost expended in caring for such people. They concluded that this cost was "a massive capital in the form of foodstuffs, clothing and heating, which is being subtracted from the national product for entirely unproductive purposes".
Binding and Hoche's polemic was furiously debated across Germany. One strident critic of the Binding and Hoche position was Ewald Meltzer, the director of an asylum in Saxony, who held that many of his charges did indeed have the ability to enjoy life inasmuch as their disabilities would allow. In an attempt to support his belief, Meltzer surveyed the parents of his patients to ascertain their perceptions of disability and euthanasia. To Meltzer's astonishment, the survey results showed a widely held contradiction among the parents that although they had strong emotional ties to their children, they simultaneously expressed, with varying degrees of qualification, a "positive" attitude toward killing them. In fact, only a handful of respondents completely rejected all notions of euthanasia.
The results of this survey were a harbinger of future public and official perceptions and actions toward people with disabilities. Meltzer's survey was later used as a major rationale for the killing of thousands of people with disabilities under the National Socialists, whose long-held social perceptions of difference coupled with official state prejudice delineated a series of genocidal markers that doomed significant numbers of people with disabilities during the Nazi era."
History repeats. About those high state honors in the Canadian Parliament for former Nazi's. Accidental? Oversight? Or they know exactly what they are doing, and are picking up where they left off?
As a geologist, how much of "Journey to the Center of the Earth," do you believe may have been non-fiction? And do you know of any real life stories of anyone hiking down a volcano? I've always been curious!!!
The great cleansing of the "social order" will come with the collapse of the dollar, and also the collapse of the existing "power Structures" BTW Novelty breeds change and Social Conditioning is intense, and alienation from Self and Society is a "Marker" of this modern era !!!!!
On the flight back to Toronto from attending my daughter's engagement out west, I chatted with my seat-mate who was returning from her 94-year old mother's funeral. Her mother had been suffering with terminal cancer and had arranged MAiD herself of her own free will, so that the extended family could gather beforehand and she could say goodbye. Seat-mate said there was a lot of laughter and love the day before, grandkids and cousins catching up etc, and mom died with a smile holding her hand. I don't think that's so bad.
I don't take the position that it's never "ok" or understandable. Rather, that it's gone off the rails in Canada. And it is very disturbing to see that it's recommended (pushed) during routine medical visit!
The (Canadian) Nurse Practitioners and MDs I know would never recommend it routinely and are disturbed that patients whose quality of life they believe could be made better with more or different medicine and/or social support or counselling or hospice etc. are being offered MAiD first. One was very opposed to the use of the paralysing drug in the procedure. It IS now a legal medical option in Canada though, so patients have a right to it. Before the law passed, the doctors and family members who helped terminally ill loved ones die faced criminal prosecution. But they also say bringing the subject up with patients is a way of learning whether they are feeling hopeless when hope is still there. My mother and I and my sister (a nurse) signed petitions years ago to change the criminality of assisted suicide. But my mother's dementia made it impossible for her to qualify for MAiD when it became legal. She was tortured to death for four months with hundreds of itching bleeding sores from untreated scabies locked down in the nursing home because the government banned ivermectin which cures it in a week. My father simply drank and smoked himself to death by heart and kidney failure at 62.
This has nothing to do with my compassion or, in your words lack thereof, it's about choices and what's decent and your sanity. If you embrace euthanasia that's your choice and I can tolerate your choice easily. My point is, the same people pushing euthanasia in your government also left grandma's to die alone, with no laughter, no family and no dignity just a few years ago during Covid and continue to pusha treatment known to cause more deaths than they had hoped for hence the rush to push euthanasia on more people without a choice. Your choice and acceptance of this push is tacit approval that informs them they can then go further. Your snark was lame. It's not tolerance that's at question rather it's people like you who think everyone else has a problem if they don't embrace your level of insanity.
“So much wrong” and yet you cannot articulate even one example and simply and arrogantly ignore what the seat mate saw as something very positive about her mother’s death. My life partner and I decided to have a celebration of her life before she died from advanced and terminal metastatic breast cancer. A few days later she died in bed with me beside her. She had a morphine drip infusing. Was this a form of MAiD? What if my partner or the seat mates mother had died before there could have been a gathering in their honour? Does the sterile funeral service really compare to these sorts of celebrations whilst the loved one is still living and can feel the love their life has engendered?
There's a huge difference between you and your partner's experience, the experience of Aliss Terpstra's seat mate, and what Canada is doing.
MAiD is not being limited to those who are suffering from terminal illnesses.
When "healthcare" providers are coercing and browbeating the elderly, the suicidal, the lonely, and the poverty stricken into choosing death only because they're lonely, elderly, etc., there is nothing compassionate about that.
It's unconscionable.
Addressing the problems of old age, loneliness, suicide and poverty, which would be the humane, moral response, would take planning, time and money.
No government is interested in that.
There's an evil agenda to follow and unfortunately, Canada is leading the way.
Yes. I envied my seat mate. My beloved mother also had MAiD but it was without her consent because the nursing home tortured her to death with isolation, medication errors, malnutrition, neglect and untreated skin infections during Covid years and none of us was allowed in to witness, advocate, care for her or say goodbye. I gather Cosmo T Kat and MacGuffin would like to force THAT kind of MAiD on us all, instead of supporting a personal choice to arrange one's own end of life, that does not affect them in any way.
I certainly hope you can see the bigger picture here, beyond your single conversation with one person. Did you read the post? Do you understand what’s going on beyond the example of one 94 year old terminal cancer patient?
One flight and your swept off your feet. If you can’t see the meaning of this program (or the last one during Covid), you’re a lost cause.
Canada Begins Euthanizing Veterans to Cut Back on Costly Treatments
February 16, 2025
The Canadian government is now pressuring military veterans into “assisted suicide” in order to relieve the burden on the nation’s socialized taxpayer-funded healthcare system.
Veterans who require costly treatments are now being pushed into being euthanized under the government’s “Medical Assistance in Dying” (MAiD) program.

Hi Patricia, good for you for resisting! I’m also a Montrealer and it’s rare I meet anyone in Canada who is remotely aware.
Anyone have the exact numbers of payments per jabbed person, in Canada? I heard, if you would not come in, and they had to call you, medical staff were paid a very high sum. I heard up to $1000.
Catherine Austin Fitts says they will kill us to balance the budget. Look at the age demographics.
Where have the elite moved their assets and created rule of law? Where the average age is much, much lower.
We have been tunnelled. Should have learned from Eastern Europe.

I heard 96% of people here (meaning Canadastan) who go thru with MAID, are white. It does make you think.
I left Canada 31 years ago. At age 40.
What I saw then, in the form of govt corruption, wasn't for me.
And apparently it IS a 3rd world country now. One where criminals rule the streets and the offices of justice and govt.
I'm now old and disabled, thank GOD I'm in a better place and can live as I want.
Where did you move to, may I ask? I am very concerned for my children.
Try to direct message me.
Im not interested in helping any woke people

Apply to your government to be a spokesperson of the beauty of Euthanasia, your politicians might even reward you with an extra day of life.

Over 40 MAID deaths per day. This is over 7x the number of Canadians killed in automobile collisions.

Canada Begins Euthanizing Veterans to Cut Back on Costly Treatments
February 16, 2025
The Canadian government is now pressuring military veterans into “assisted suicide” in order to relieve the burden on the nation’s socialized taxpayer-funded healthcare system.
Veterans who require costly treatments are now being pushed into being euthanized under the government’s “Medical Assistance in Dying” (MAiD) program.
The news comes as the United Kingdom edges closer to passing its own euthanasia laws.
Does anyone know if doctors in Canada or elsewhere are being financially incentivized to do this? Similar to what we saw with Covid.
