Canada: Home of the most efficient killers.

Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program was “supposed” to be about compassion, offering dignity and choice to people at the end of their lives. Lies, it’s always been nothing but lies from the very start. It’s always been about killing. Somewhere along the way our society has taken a dark turn back to the time when eugenics was normalized. I thought this idea of killing our people for being disabled, injured or suffering was over. Turns out I wasn’t just wrong, I missed the mark completely. Eugenics has never ever stopped, it’s just been done quietly in the dark and done to people who will never be able to speak because…. Well, MAID = DEATH and you can’t complain when you're dead now can you?

Instead of a compassionate last resort, MAiD has become a symptom of our societal failure, an escape hatch offered to vulnerable individuals we’d rather ignore than support and our government wants to do anything it can to stop supporting you.

Take Kiano Vafaeian’s case. At just 23 years old, Kiano wasn’t terminally ill. He was diabetic, partially blind, and severely depressed. These conditions are profoundly challenging, yes, but are they reasons for a state-sanctioned murder? His mother, Margaret Marsilla, found out about his planned euthanasia by accident, stumbling across the approval in his emails. She wasn’t informed by medical professionals or social services. No alarm bells rang. No safeguards in place. The system simply moved forward, silent and indifferent, ready to quietly eliminate what it saw as a "problem" rather than confront the underlying issues.

Remember they DO NOT HAVE TO CONTACT FAMILY, and as Ellen Wiebe the head executioner of Canada said: 

“People ask me why and I think, well, doctors like grateful patients, and nobody is more grateful than my patients now and their families,” 

Carr interviewing Wiebe

She tells Liz Carr, though that’s not always necessarily so. 

“We know that angry family members are our greatest risk” (National Post article link).

Margaret had to fight desperately to save her son's life, resorting to impersonating a patient to uncover the chilling ease of accessing assisted death. How has it come to this? A mother must battle her own government to keep her child alive? What does this say about the priorities of a system that would rather expedite death than offer comprehensive support and care? I’ll tell you exactly what it says.

WE DON’T CARE. We do not care if your son is struggling, he is a burden to our society so he must go and we will do it behind your back. Their favourite part, is there’s not a damn thing you can do to stop it. You can try, but good luck.

This story isn’t isolated, not even a little unfortunately. It speaks to a profound rot within our society, a rot where the vulnerable are viewed as disposable, burdensome inconveniences rather than human beings deserving dignity and support. When a young man’s pain is so readily met with death instead of help, we have failed. We have failed Kiano, we have failed Margaret, and we have failed ourselves. We have lost sight of our shared responsibility to each other, allowing bureaucratic convenience to triumph over human empathy. I’d agree it’s no longer about convenience either, with over 1800 killers in Canada, roughly 300 do all the killing. That means in 2023 with the death tally over 13,000 people who were murdered, they were taken out by roughly 300 people.

Now if you were in the military, like I was and you had killed that many people on your own. Not only would we be questioning your mental health but questioning a lot more than that. But because these are “doctors” we say its compassion.

I call bullshit. These “doctors” are enjoying this, far far too much.

We pride ourselves as Canadians on being compassionate and inclusive, yet we’re abandoning those who need us most while we crumble under policies that have broken our country in half. Instead of investing in mental health services, social support, and disability care, our leaders choose a cheaper, colder route. MAiD = murder, once carefully bounded, now creeps into a territory where depression, poverty, and disability alone WILL justify ending a life. This isn't compassion. It's negligence dressed up as mercy.

Our society has become desensitized to suffering, choosing convenience and cost-saving over genuine care and compassion. How many others like Kiano have faced similar battles without a Margaret fighting tirelessly in their corner? How many have silently slipped through the cracks, never receiving the attention, care, or advocacy they deserved?

We need to look deeply at ourselves and our values. Are we comfortable living in a society where death is offered as an alternative to adequate support? Are we okay telling someone that their existence is too costly, too inconvenient? Are we prepared to admit our government’s failure in creating a society where people feel their lives are not worth living simply because they have been left behind by the systems meant to protect them?

So I ask you, will you stand up now

Or

Will you wait until your family finds a hidden email or letter, or when they call to say your loved one, child or friend was just murdered before you call you MP’s and say this stops NOW.

We have the power to stop this, will you help?

Kelsi Sheren, relentless in the pursuit of life and never MAID.
