America, be very afraid: astonishingly, Canada is now euthanizing 10,000 of its citizens a year 3 % of deaths- some of the stories are horrific

I’m not scared. Jesus saves.

Think about this,

USA is 10x bigger (population wise) than Canada.

There are roughly 125 suicides each day in the USA, 10 in Canada.

Annually, there are 40,000 Americans killed by gun violence, in Canada this number is 875.

At least with medically assisted suicide, you go clean and fast and don't take anyone with you. I think Canada is just accepting the fact that people will kill themselves and if they are going to do it, may as well offer them a clinical option. From a survivor perspective it beats the cops knocking at your door in the middle of the night informing you so-and-so just killed themselves.


Canada also has needle exchanges and shooting rooms for drug addicts. Is this wrong? IDK but I assume it lowers infection from disease and in the long run is more humane then letting them rot in the streets.

There is no one-size-fits-all in life, you do you and let the rest do them, amen.

America, be very afraid: astonishingly, Canada is now euthanizing 10,000 of its citizens a year - and some of the horrific stories of its ultra-permissive policy will horrify you


Winston Churchill famously reassured the U.S. that its long northern border was 'guarded only by neighbourly respect and honourable obligations'.

And generations of US leaders have tended to agree – there's nothing to worry about from solid and reliably uncontroversial Canada.

Until now, that is.


Anyone who ever thought that the compassionate response to extreme human suffering is a society that helps people find permanent release from their pain may want to look at some of the horror stories coming out of Canada recently.

To be clear, euthanasia laws in the US are nothing like those of its neighbor to the north. But American acceptance of the practice has been growing for decades despite warnings that legalized suicide is a slippery slope toward a calamitous debasement of human life.

Canada, a country that prides itself on its open-mindedness and tolerance, has the most permissive rules on euthanasia in the world – and the results have been frankly terrifying.

Last year, more than 10,000 people in Canada – astonishingly that's over three percent of all deaths there - ended their lives via euthanasia, an increase of a third on the previous year. And it's likely to keep rising: next year, Canada is set to allow people to die exclusively for mental health reasons.

Alan Nichols, for instance, was a 61-year-old British Columbian with a history of depression and other medical issues - though none of them life-threatening - who was hospitalized in 2019 over fears he might be suicidal.

Although he asked his brother, Gary, to 'bust him out' as soon as possible, within a month of going into hospital he'd submitted a request to be euthanized. He listed only one health condition - hearing loss - as the reason but that was enough to satisfy his keepers and he was killed. 'Alan was basically put to death,' said his brother Gary.

Erin Smith said her 71-year-old father, Rod McNeill, went to an Ontario hospital after suffering a fall. A month later, he had been euthanized. She says the doctors responsible didn't even get hold of his medical records from his own physician.

He was subsequently euthanized for a condition - end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease - that an autopsy shows he didn't have, she said.

Sheila Elson, the mother of a 25-year-old woman with cerebral palsy said a hospital doctor in Newfoundland actually told her she'd be 'selfish' if she didn't consider pursuing the euthanasia option.

Roger Foley, a patient with a degenerative brain disorder, secretly recorded staff at his hospital in London, Ontario, mentioning euthanasia.

In one recording, the hospital's director of ethics told Mr Foley it would cost 'north of $1,500 a day' to keep him in hospital, adding: 'My piece of this was to talk to you, (to see) if you had an interest in assisted dying.'

Mr Foley said he had never previously mentioned euthanasia, but the hospital said there is no ban on staff raising the issue.

the article shows one man was euthanizd for hearing loss???

I don't believe they have consent of the patient, I believe they're signing off on murdering people. Just get 2 doctors to sign off and fake his signature.
