Five percent of all recorded deaths in Canada are people who have been euthanized by the government, according to new statistics.
The latest data shows that, in 2023, euthanasia killed over 15,000 people in Canada.
The average age of those euthanized was 77.
According to the government statistics, around 95% were killed because they would have died in the “reasonably foreseeable” future due to conditions like cancer.
Nearly 40% of the deaths came in Quebec, which accounts for around 20% of the Canadian population.
The Canadian government legalized euthanasia in 2016.
The country joined the ranks of Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Austria, and the Netherlands.
There has been significant controversy over the introduction and expansion of Canada’s “Medically Assistance in Dying” (MAiD) program.
However, polling suggests that there is widespread support for the program.
In October, an expert committee reported that a growing number of patients are being killed despite not suffering from a terminal illness or unmanageable pain.
Many are now being euthanized for social reasons such as isolation, homelessness, or poverty.
Data suggest that those being euthanized in Ontario are far more likely to require disability support and be socially isolated.
In almost all cases, the patients were considered to be a burden on the state’s taxpayer-funded socialized healthcare system.
Trudo Lemmens, a professor at the University of Toronto, said medical professional bodies and judicial authorities in Canada appeared to be “unwilling to curtail practices that appear ethically problematic.”
“Either the law is too broad, or the professional guidance not precise enough,” Lemmens said.
“Or it is simply not seen as a priority to protect some of our most vulnerable citizens.”
The British House of Commons recently passed a euthanasia bill.
The bill still needs to pass the Lords in order to become law.
However, the bill has been getting alarming levels of support after being pushed by the country’s socialist government and promoted by its corporate media allies.
Meanwhile, the Canadian government continues to expand its euthanasia laws.
Late last year, the government euthanized its first patient over a Covid mRNA vaccine injury.
As Slay News reported, an Ontario man in his late 40s has become the first person to be euthanized for “post-COVID-19 vaccination syndrome.”
The man was killed in October under Canada’s “assisted suicide” laws via the government’s MAiD program.
Doctors had determined that the patient had become a burden on the socialized healthcare system.
They warned that he wouldn’t recover from “post-vaccine syndrome” and ruled that MAiD was a better option than long-term care.
The patient, identified only as “Mr. A,” had experienced “suffering and functional decline” following three Covid mRNA vaccinations.
The doctors said the patient was suffering from depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and personality disorders as a result of the “post-vaccine syndrome.”
