More Canadian grandchildren are speaking out about losing their grandparents to euthanasia and how this makes them fear for their parents... https://t.co/JGzQ9uKbKg

@notjaso79646447 @TheophanesRex This is about the University of Toronto using public resources to train Saudi doctors who go back to Saudi instead of Canadian doctors who will serve Canada. So we end up in a situation where 6.5 million Canadians don’t have a doctor, ER wait times are dangerous and UofT gets a

The University of Toronto medical school @uoftmedicine refuses to say: that women should have the right to drive (!!) Or that women should have equal rights generally. (!!!) And they say that Saudi money has nothing to do with this refusal. I beg to differ. The moral

BOMBSHELL TESTIMONY The University of Toronto revealed that authoritarian regimes like Saudi Arabia are paying millions of dollars to train their doctors in Canadian hospitals, only for those doctors to leave Canada after training. The Immigration Minister is allowing this.

Canada is continuing to kill itself. Health Canada just released its mandated annual report on euthanasia—on a Friday afternoon. The data is shocking. Euthanasia is now the 4th most common cause of death, only fewer than deaths from cancer, heart disease, and accidents.

And while we are here, let's talk about the utterly bs bogus methodology of only counting disabled death by MAiD if they self reported disability. The Govt of Canada does not accept "self-ID" for disability in life - ONLY in death.

This chart shows that there were 55 people who withdrew their euthanasia request because they had someone in their life who they considered important who does not support MAID. You can be this person! Be the one who tells someone to stay! 9/10

There are three clear provinces of concern because 85% of all MAID deaths in Canada occurred in BC (18.2%), Ontario (30.0%), and Quebec (36.4%). Even accounting for population distribution, that is high. Why do these provinces have such high euthanasia rates?  8/10

All 16,499 MAID deaths were directly administered by a medical practitioner. This means that every single MAID death in 2024 was, by definition, euthanasia. 7/10

This chart shows the rise of euthanasia in Canada over the past five years. While the Government is trying to assuage concerns by saying rates are "stabilizing", MAID continues to represent a significant death toll and betrays a deeper cultural crisis of meaning and care.  6/10

The main demographic of euthanasia victims in Canada is frequently described as "White, Worried, and Wealthy." According to the @GovCanHealth report, 95.6% of people who died by MAID in 2024 identified as Caucasian.  5/10

In 2024, a total of 732 people who received euthanasia were people "whose death was not reasonably foreseeable (Track 2)." Since Canada expanded MAID to persons with disabilities in 2021, more and more Canadians who are not imminently dying have been requesting it.  3/10

With this year’s numbers, Canada’s euthanasia deaths from 2016–2024 now total 76,475.  In less than ten years, the number of MAID deaths has overtaken the number of Canadians who died from Covid throughout the entire pandemic. 2/10
