Elections Have Consequences

Elections have consequences. Don't vote for candidates who will expand the killing.

This is an important election for those who oppose killing people. Please share this message with your like-minded friends.

Canada's 2023 euthanasia report stated that there were 15,343 reported euthanasia deaths, representing 4.7% of all deaths. 

My research uncovering the 2024 Canadian euthanasia data indicates that there were approximately 16,500 reported euthanasia deaths. In Québec, the number of euthanasia deaths increased again. Québec has the highest euthanasia rate in the world.

The Office of the Chief Coroner of Ontario released a report from the Ontario MAiD Death Review Committee indicating that there were at least 428 non-compliant Ontario euthanasia deaths from 2018 to 2023.

Recently, Canada's federal government was studying expanding euthanasia to advance requests, meaning, to permit people who state in an advance directive that they would want euthanasia, that the person could be killed if they become incompetent.

Canada is currently scheduled to allow euthanasia for mental illness (alone) beginning on March 17, 2027. A report by the Special Joint Committee on Medical Assistance in Dying (AMAD) that was tabled in the House of Commons on February 15, 2023 called for a drastic expansion of euthanasia by recommending that children "mature minors" and patients with mental illnesses should be eligible for euthanasia and that patients with dementia should be permitted to make advance requests by advanced directives for euthanasia.

On March 21, 2025, the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Committee report urged Canada's federal government to:

1. Repeal Track 2 Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), including the 2027 commencement of Track 2 MAiD for persons whose “sole underlying medical condition is a mental illness”;

2. Not support proposals for the expansion of MAiD to include “mature minors” and through advance requests.

Elections have clear consequences.

I urge you to not vote for candidates or a government that will be committed to further expansions of killing. 

Reject the status quo. We cannot afford another euthanasia expansion government.

Alex Schadenberg,

Executive Director, Euthanasia Prevention Coalition
