We're number 1! We're number 1!
That's one way to lighten the burden on the public system.
This was really depressing to read:
Over a fifth of people (22.9%) who died by euthanasia in Canada in 2024 had "isolation or loneliness" recorded by a medical practitioner in their application for euthanasia. Significantly, 44.7% of those on Track 2, whose deaths were not reasonably foreseeable, experienced isolation or loneliness.
The total number of people who died by euthanasia under Track 2 increased by 17.12% from 625 in 2023 to 732 in 2024.

That’s a crazy share of the Canadian population

16,499. I can't believe we didn't sneak another one in on NYE to hit 16,500. No ambition in this country anymore. If you are going to be good at something, be good at it.

Something to strive for

The source article is from a religious clickbait site. The real world MAID program currently only considers people with terminal illness or awful untreatable chronic conditions. Obviously these people are gonna feel isolated, depressed, etc, but the article tries to misrepresent those stats as being the sole cause of their admittance into MAID. DYOR.
In 2027 we're scheduled to start admitting people with mental illness into MAID though, unless it gets delayed again. That's gonna be a much more controversial and very difficult situation to control responsibly.

Are you suggesting the stats are inaccurate? I have no issue with the MAID problem. I do have an issue that we are pretty terrible at keeping our people healthy and cared for with the broken public system we have and continuously costs more and offers less.
