    Canada logged the fastest-growing rate of medical assistance in dying (MAID) deaths in the world, according to a new report from an Ontario-based think tank.

    MAID accounts 4.1% of deaths and, if current trends continue, will grow by 35% per year! That means that in two years 79.1% of Canadians will be Murdered by Trudeau’s health care!!!

      While the number of Canadians killed by healthcare is going to skyrocket most of it will not be voluntary.

      I mean, it doesn’t surprise me.

      My GFil found out he had stage 4 throat cancer, by that point he was completely unable to eat or drink, and was in his 90s. He requested MAID, which likely saved him a couple weeks to a month of suffering

      His pregnant granddaughter held his hand as he left this world.

      This would be chalked as a MAID death, even if it only saved him a couple weeks of suffering.

        It is a MAIDs death. The whole point is that every occurs instead of a much worse death. They’re not meant to happen if the person wouldn’t have died otherwise. The scare mongers are avoiding the whole point

      Pretty sure they mean 4.1 > 5.4 > 7.29 … , so after 10 years 82% of Canadians will be being murdered. By year 11, it will start killing non-canadians with a 111% adoption. In 30 years, we will all be dead

          King of the Hill covered a bunch of stuff, like LGBTQ+ issues, gender equality, drug abuse, corporate greenwashing, and at least a dozen others I can’t recall off the top of my head. Mike Judge explored a lot of liberal ideas using a very conservative friendly show.

    I wish they would make the resources (that I hope) they give to loved ones available to those of us that could DIY the practical side.

    Well, I wasn’t even aware it was legal now until this.

    Of course rates will be high at first while we catch up on the backlog of people who have been suffering for years already.
