Over 25% of Canadians Support Euthanizing the Poor and Homeless

Published by

A recent poll revealed the rapid cultural deterioration taking place in Canada. In 2021, the country’s Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, introduced legislation allowing for medical-assisted suicide for those facing serious medical issues. It has since been expanded to allow those who are mentally unwell to receive assisted suicide, and it seems many Canadians are completely fine with this policy. A recent poll conducted by Research Co. found that a significant percentage of Canadians not only supported euthanasia but over 25% supported providing the service for the poor and homeless, Front Page reports. What was particularly disturbing was the views of the younger generation where 40% of those between the ages of 18-34 were comfortable euthanizing the poor. Research Co. provided more details on its poll results: Half of Canadians would agree to allow adults in Canada to seek medical assistance in dying due to an inability to receive medical treatment (51%) or a disability (50%).

Religious leaders condemn Canada’s euthanasia laws

In an interview with Fox News, religious leaders in Canada are condemning the country’s euthanasia laws which are among the most expansive in the world. Since, the program, which goes by the acronym MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying), was introduced in 2016, the provisions have been gradually loosened each year. In 2023, the rules will be expanded allowing those who are experiencing mental illness to apply for medically assisted suicide and to even give doctors permission to suggest it as an option for their patients. In an interview with Fox News, Vancouver’s Roman Catholic Archbishop, J. Michael Miller called the law ‘morally depraved’ adding: “In six years, Canada has gone from totally banning euthanasia to one of the most permissive euthanasia regimes in the world.

Canada’s push for medically assisted suicide

For those who are unaware, Canada has been providing medically assisted suicide since 2016 and is among 8 countries that fully or partially allow it, writes Susan Bates in her article for the Deseret News. “Canada’s law is considered among the most expansive, and has some of the fewest safeguards for patients,” Bates added. It is officially called Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) and according to reports, over 10,000 Canadian were given this assistance in 2021. This was a 32% increase over 2020. But there have been concerns about what is going on after a Canadian veteran stated he was pressured by an employee at Veterans Affairs Canada to use MAID to end his life. What was equally disturbing is that the man, who suffered from PTSD hadn’t brought up the issue and according to Global News, the government employee continued pushing it even after the man had said he wasn’t interested.
