The Death Cult expands...

[CTRL-Free]

When did the government start helping people die… instead of helping them live?

Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying program, known as MAID, was legalized in 2016 after a Supreme Court ruling struck down the ban on assisted dying.

The original idea was simple.

People who were terminally ill.
People at the end of life.
People facing unbearable suffering with no path forward.

A compassionate option to pass with dignity.

That’s a conversation most reasonable people can have.

But what MAID has become in Canada today is something very different.

And I think it deserves serious scrutiny.

Because the program has expanded far beyond what Canadians were originally told it would be.

Today MAID allows physicians or nurse practitioners to administer a lethal injection to eligible adults who request it.

To qualify, a person must be at least 18, capable of informed consent, and have what the law calls a “grievous and irremediable medical condition” causing intolerable suffering.

There are now two tracks.

Track 1 is for people whose natural death is reasonably foreseeable. This is typically the end-of-life cases people think of when they hear about assisted dying.

Track 2 was added in 2021.

Track 2 allows people who are not terminally ill but have serious and irreversible conditions to qualify.

And the numbers are climbing fast.

In 2024 alone, MAID accounted for 5.1 percent of all deaths in Canada.
That’s over 16,000 people in a single year.

At current trends that’s roughly 45 Canadians every day.

By mid-2026 the total number of MAID deaths since legalization is projected to approach 100,000 people.

Let that sink in.

One out of every twenty deaths in Canada now happens through a government administered euthanasia program.

And when you start looking at some of the real-world cases, it raises serious questions.

Not about terminal patients seeking dignity.

But about where the line actually is anymore.

Take Kiano Vafaeian.

He was a 26-year-old Ontario man with Type 1 diabetes, vision loss from a car accident, and depression.

His MAID request was initially denied in Toronto after his family spoke out and the approving doctor withdrew.

But he later traveled to British Columbia where another provider approved the request.

He died on December 30, 2025.

His family says he had recently been improving mentally and that the system allowed what looks like doctor shopping to find someone willing to approve it.

Then there’s the case known publicly as Mrs. B.

An Ontario woman in her 80s who was recovering from complications after heart surgery.

She initially asked about MAID.

Then she withdrew the request and chose palliative care instead.

Her husband later requested MAID again citing caregiver burnout.

It was approved the same day and she was euthanized.

Reviewers later questioned whether the request was truly voluntary and why there was such urgency when there was no immediate medical crisis.

Then there’s Sophia.

A 51-year-old woman with multiple chemical sensitivities.

She spent years trying to find affordable housing that didn’t trigger her condition.

She couldn’t.

Facing homelessness and worsening symptoms, she chose MAID.

Not because medicine failed.

Because housing did.

Another case is Alan Nichols.

A 61-year-old man in British Columbia with depression and hearing loss.

He was euthanized in hospital while on suicide watch.

His family says the main issue he struggled with was hearing impairment and that he should never have been approved.

Then there’s Normand Meunier.

A quadriplegic man who developed a severe bedsore after being left on a hospital stretcher for days without proper equipment.

Feeling like a burden after the healthcare system failed him, he requested MAID and received it.

Not because his condition suddenly changed.

But because the system meant to care for him didn’t.

Again, I want to be very clear here.

This is not about terminal cancer patients at the end of life choosing to pass peacefully.

That’s a separate conversation.

But when you start seeing cases tied to poverty, housing shortages, caregiver burnout, mental health struggles, and systemic failures in healthcare, something has gone seriously wrong.

A society should fight to make life better for vulnerable people.

Not quietly offer death as a solution.

Canada now has one of the highest euthanasia rates in the world.

There are already discussions about expanding MAID further.

Including proposals around mature minors and eventually mental illness alone.

At some point we have to ask the obvious question.

Is this compassionate care.

Or is it a sign of a society that is slowly giving up on solving the harder problems?

Because when the system that struggles to provide timely healthcare, disability support, housing, and mental health care can still somehow efficiently provide a lethal injection…

That should make every Canadian pause.

I’m genuinely asking this.

Doesn’t this need to be scrutinized and reined in?

Or are we just going to keep pretending this is normal while the line keeps moving further every year?

Because to me this feels like yet another sign of the rapid deterioration of Canadian society.

And I think a lot more people should be asking hard questions about it.
