In Health Canada’s most recent annual Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) report of 2024, of the 15,927 patients who disclosed their race, 96% were white — so, one has to wonder, is this some sort of trend?
And if it is, what’s causing it?
This is what Peter Frost, an independent researcher with a PhD in anthropology, tried to find.
Last September, several media outlets reported that Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program – legalized in 2016 to permit doctor-assisted suicide – had reignited debate over whether newborns could be included at some point.
The debate began in 2022, during hearings before Parliament’s Special Joint Committee on MAiD, when Louis Roy of the Quebec College of Physicians suggested that eligibility could one day extend to “babies from birth to one year of age” that were born with severe deformities or disabilities.

People in Canada are having their lives ended by assisted dying on the same day that requests are made, adding to fears that wrongful deaths may be occurring.
An official report by the Chief Coroner of Ontario’s Medical Assistance in Dying Death Review Committee (MDRC) highlighted that, in 2023, 65 people in Ontario had their lives ended by Canada’s assisted suicide and euthanasia programme on the same day that they made their requests to do so. A further 154 people had their lives ended the day after their request was made.

If you want to glimpse Britain’s potential dark future, look west to Canada.
In 2016, Canada legalised Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) for the terminally ill. MAID was sold as a state-controlled solution to suffering, and came with all the usual reassurances that it was intended only for the dying, the desperate, and those with few other alternatives. Ten years on, it’s a machine for death.
The family of a 26-year-old Canadian man who was recently euthanized is speaking out against the law that allowed for his death after a doctor reportedly “coached” him on how to qualify for physician-assisted suicide.
Donald Trump may or may not bomb Iran in the next few days. His cheerleaders will cite the Tehran regime’s brutal executions of Iranian protesters as justification. But if the President is in the mood for humanitarian interventions and stopping barbarism, he might also want to make good on his pledge to annex Canada.
Once praised as a paragon of decency and civility, Canada is now turning into a dystopian society in which so-called “healthcare” professionals wield increasingly terrifying power of life and death.
By age 40, around half of Canadians will suffer or have suffered from mental illness, according to the Canadian Mental Health Association. The other half will have someone close to them who has.
Canada’s MAID (medical assistance in dying) law is scheduled to expand to make people who suffer solely from mental illness eligible for MAID on March 17, 2027. While Canada’s approach to mental illness importantly focuses on mental health care, the expansion of MAID threatens to significantly alter that approach.
The death of 26-year-old Kiano Vafaeian by MAID on Dec. 30, 2025, is emblematic of what Canadians can expect to become commonplace in the coming years.
Vafaeian, who had diabetes and whose natural death was not foreseeable, found that Vancouver physician Dr. Ellen Wiebe was willing to end his life. The young man had been doctor shopping before he found her.
So what could go wrong with Canada’s euthanasia program, somewhat euphemistically called Medical Assistance in Dying or MAID? Well everything that could go wrong with this program, has gone wrong, from the increasing sphere of those “eligible” for the program to the latest wrinkle: a preponderance of organs coming from Canada to potentially transplant into American patients.
Blindness, autism, diabetes, obesity, and ADHD have been given as reasons for killing young people.
Last month, a 26-year-old Ontario man, Kiano Vafaeian, was euthanized because of his blindness, type 1 diabetes, and depression. His mom tried to stop him from pursuing euthanasia, but she later gave up, saying she didn’t want her son to “keep hating” her.
And in 2024, a 27-year-old woman was euthanized in Canada despite pleas from her father that she was “generally healthy” and had only been diagnosed with autism and ADHD. The woman claimed physical ailments, but her father said these simply resulted from “undiagnosed psychological conditions.”
A Canadian family has been left heartbroken and angry after a 26-year-old diabetic and blind man died of ‘physician-assisted suicide’ – three years after they blocked his request for euthanasia.
Margaret Marsilla had been successfully able to prevent her son Kiano Vafaeian from dying under Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying program back in 2022.
She noted that Vafaeian did not suffer from any terminal illnesses. He was just blind and struggling with complications from type 1 diabetes as well as mental health issues.
After Parliament legalized assisted suicide in 2016, 2,838 Canadians killed themselves with the help of doctors the following year. By 2024, that number had risen almost six-fold to 16,499.
Assisted suicide (euphemistically mischaracterized as medical assistance in dying, or MAID) is now the fourth-largest cause of death in Canada, accounting for 5.1 percent of Canadian deaths in 2024, and a shocking 7.9 percent of deaths in Quebec. After the Netherlands, Canada comes in second place as the global leader in assisted suicide, even dwarfing ever-progressive Belgium, where assisted suicide was responsible for 3.6 percent of deaths in 2024.
A senior U.S. health official is sounding the alarm after explosive revelations that Canada’s government-run euthanasia program is now intertwined with organ harvesting, calling it a “strange new horror” that should terrify the world.
Jim O’Neil, the Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, blasted Canada’s so-called Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program.
O’Neil responded after reports confirmed that organs are being taken from patients who are medically euthanized.
CALGARY — A woman in her 80s was euthanized through Canada’s medical assistance in dying program (MAiD) with the help of her elderly husband who was “experiencing caregiver burnout,” and experts question whether it was coerced.
According to a report released by the Ontario MAiD Death Review Committee, a woman referred to as Mrs. B experienced complications after a coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

Societies occasionally reach a threshold so significant that it demands direct attention, regardless of legal or bureaucratic framing. Canada’s current approach to assisted suicide, especially in cases involving mental illness, represents such a threshold. Recent federal data indicate that more than 16,000 assisted suicide cases are approved annually in Canada, with an increasing proportion involving individuals with mental health challenges. This trend highlights the urgent need for policy reassessment and underscores the critical importance of addressing this issue.
