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.
Kelsi Sheren, a Canadian Armed Forces veteran injured in Afghanistan, is calling on UK citizens to take a stand against the legalization of euthanasia.
Sheren is highlighting cases where disabled veterans have been encouraged to consider assisted suicide.
She served as an artillery gunner in the Canadian Armed Forces.
“During my deployment, I was sent outside the wire to work alongside the British military in OP TORA ARWA,” Sheren revealed.
“That mission changed my life.
“I was injured and medically released in 2011 with PTSD, hearing loss, and a traumatic brain injury (TBI).
“Today, I live as a 100% disabled combat veteran.”
Her experiences led her to become an outspoken advocate, particularly after learning about Canadian veterans facing euthanasia as a proposed solution instead of receiving proper care.
Speaking to True North last year, she explained how this disturbing trend pushed her to raise awareness.
“My issue with (euthanasia) is how we are killing people and how we have a predatory behavior of telling individuals that they can’t heal, they can’t get better and the solution to their problems is death,” she said.
In Canada, veterans are reporting that they are being pressured into euthanasia by the Veterans Affairs Department when seeking assistance.
Christine Gauthier, a five-time world Paralympic champion, was among them.
After requesting care, she received a letter stating:
“If it’s too difficult for you to continue living, Madam, we can offer you medical assistance in dying.”
In another case, a veteran who contacted a crisis hotline was presented with assisted suicide as an option.
Sheren and other advocates are warning UK lawmakers that similar incidents will occur if assisted suicide, which has passed a second reading in the UK Parliament, is legalized.
Alarmingly, one such case has already been reported—despite assisted suicide still being illegal in the UK.
In a recent report, Sheren revealed a shocking incident:
“A 25-year-old UK veteran was in crisis and asked for help,” she wrote on her Substack.
“A UK doctor suggested assisted suicide illegally.
“The police have been contacted. Will they act?”
On 12 February, a UK veteran reached out to Sheren, recounting his experience:
“On 4 February 2025, after being offered therapy, counseling, and medication by my GP at Queensway Medical Centre, I had another breakdown at the start of February and was taken to Kettering A&E Hospital.
“I was seen by a Dr. A, who discussed other treatments to assist me.
“After I told him nothing seemed to be working, he mentioned MAiD as a suggestion.
“I was shocked. I immediately asked to be discharged.
“After they released me, I stormed out of the hospital and took a cab home.”
Sheren condemned the incident, stating:
“This is not healthcare. This is not compassion.
“This is modern-day eugenics.
“This one hits close to home … This man served his country.
“He did the bravest thing possible – he asked for help.
“Instead, a doctor offered him death.
“This is illegal. This is a violation of medical ethics.
“I have spoken with this veteran and he is devastated.
“The Northamptonshire police have been contacted, but whether they are willing to act remains to be seen.”
She stressed that this case confirms the fears she and others have raised.
“Now it’s happening in the UK – before a single bill has passed,” she warned.
“We were told this would never happen.
“We were told there would be safeguards.
“We were told this was about compassion. They lied.”
Urging UK citizens to take action, she added:
“Kim Leadbeater and other UK officials have claimed MAiD would never be misused.
“Yet here we are – before any law has passed – and doctors are already pushing euthanasia on those they should be helping.
“This is not a slippery slope. The slope is gone.
“Make no mistake: If this is happening now, before the law has changed, what will happen once assisted dying becomes legal?
“If you’re reading this, you are now a witness … Email your MP.
“Contact the media. Make noise,” Sheren urged.
“If we do nothing, more vulnerable people will be targeted.
“Veterans, this is personal. If this can happen to one of us, it can happen to any of us.
“We must speak up before it’s too late.”
The Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC) is providing UK citizens with online tools to contact their MPs and encourages face-to-face meetings with representatives.
As the assisted suicide bill has not yet passed a third reading, there is still an opportunity to make a difference by speaking out.
As Slay News previously reported, a recent study revealed that the Canadian government’s socialized healthcare system is saving millions of dollars a year by euthanizing patients instead of treating them.
The study found that Canada’s healthcare system saves up to $136.8 million annually thanks to the government’s MAiD program.
