Canadians are raising concerns that they fear their government is using the country’s liberal “assisted suicide” laws to relieve the “burden” of poor people by euthanizing them.
A new poll has revealed that most Canadian citizens believe the government is targeting poor and socially vulnerable people with euthanasia.
Alarmingly, however, most respondents to the poll also said they still support the practice in general, despite their fears that it’s being abused.
The poll was conducted by Angus Reid and released on November 21.
It shows that 62 percent of Canadians “worry” that the government’s “Medical Assistance in Dying” (MAiD) program prays on “financially or socially vulnerable people.”
Yet, the poll also found that 63 percent of respondents said they support Canada’s current euthanasia laws.
The poll was gathered from the responses of 468 people.
The respondents included people who work in the healthcare setting.
The survey found that 24 percent of Canadians have some “level of personal experience with MAiD.”
The “personal experience” was classed as knowing a friend or family member who has been euthanized by the government.
The results from the poll also found that 6 percent of respondents knew someone who had been pressured into signing up for MAiD without asking for it.
Of those 6 percent, 37 percent said the person offered MAiD accepted it and was killed by euthanasia.
The poll also found that about 4 in 10 healthcare workers said that Canadians with disabilities have slower experiences in getting proper healthcare, as well as a lower quality of care in general.
Overall, 45 percent of respondents said they think those living with disabilities get poor healthcare service in their province.
In a blog post about the poll, Alex Schadenberg of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition noted that it has “received many phone calls from people who were upset that healthcare professionals (often a hospital MAiD team) had asked them or a loved one if they wanted euthanasia.”
“One person contacted me after being asked 5 times if they wanted euthanasia,” he wrote.
MAiD was first introduced to offer terminally ill patients the option to die on their own terms and avoid a slow painful death.
However, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government sought to expand the laws to align with a radical eugenics agenda.
The laws have slowly been expanded to allow government doctors to euthanize citizens for poverty and homelessness, depression, mental illness, autism, and even hearing loss.
As Slay News recently reported, the government has now even begun euthanizing citizens with Covid “vaccine” injuries.
Last month, Canada killed the first citizen under the controversial new plans.
An Ontario man in his late 40s was the first person to be euthanized for “post-COVID-19 vaccination syndrome.”
The man was killed under Canada’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 number of Canadians killed by lethal injection under the nation’s MAiD program since 2016 stands at close to 65,000.
An estimated 16,000 of those deaths happened in 2023 alone.
Many fear that because the official statistics are manipulated the number may be even higher.
Meanwhile, the socialist-controlled UK could soon join Canada on the slippery “euthanasia” slope as the government debates passing a new “assisted dying bill.”
