Who donates to the euthanasia lobby?

Alex Schadenberg
Executive Director, Euthanasia Prevention Coalition

Bell, Google, Microsoft, Rogers and Telus all supporting Dying with Dignity, Canada's leading pro-euthanasia lobby group? Thank you to Patricia Maloney for providing the links.

Dying with Dignity states the following

"As a charitable organization, Dying With Dignity Canada would not exist nor have the impact it does were it not for the generous contributions of all our donors and supporters. We would like to acknowledge a group of supporters to whom we owe an enormous debt of gratitude."

Just some of the corporate donors. There are 65 pages of donors, most are individuals.

Bell, Google, Google Ad, Great Toronto Airport Authority, Alberta Gerontological Nurses Association, Healthcare Excellence Canada, Hospice Greater Saint John , MAiD Family Support Society, Microsoft, Rogers, Telus, United Way East Ontario, Vancouver Island Mental Health.

I am wondering about the many donations from estates. Dying with Dignity, through their network, facilitates euthanasia deaths. Some of the donations from estates may be directly related to providing a euthanasia death.

Several years ago the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition ran a successful campaign to have Dying with Dignity Canada's charitable number revoked based on "serious non-compliance issues." But under the current federal government they were able to once again obtain a charitable number.

The growth of Dying with Dignity Canada is closely related to a donation of $7 million from the late Vancouver entrepreneur David Jackson in 2018.
