Canada is set to pass a grim milestone in its medically-assisted suicide program with a total of 100,000 citizens projected to be euthanized by the government before its 10th anniversary on June 17.
The Great White North’s MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying) program will soon cross the sickly six-figure threshold, according to The National Post.
Ottawa’s most recent data shows 15,767 Canadians were euthanized by the state in 2024 — 5.1% of all deaths in the nation that year.
About 45 Canucks per day are being euthanized, according to the report.
In 2021, a total of 9,842 Canadian people were euthanized.
Only 2,000 shelter dogs in Canada were put down that year, according to The Vet Desk.
