He Sold Death On Shopify. Canada Built The Market.

I want you to think about a 16 year old.

Not hypothetically. An actual kid. In Ontario. Who went online, found a website, placed an order, and received a package in the mail containing the means to end their life.

The man who sent it just pled guilty.

Article: Canadian man pleads guilty to aiding suicide in 14 deaths (Read).

Fourteen counts. Fourteen dead in Ontario alone. Seventy-nine more in Britain being factored into sentencing. At least 130 total. Shipped to 41 countries. Nearly $300,000 in revenue. Consultation calls included. Documentation that explicitly absolved him of responsibility for “the end use of its products.”

Kenneth Law ran a death business and it was booming.

He built multiple storefronts on Shopify. Named them things like Imtime Cuisine and EscMode. Sold hot sauce alongside the poison to make it look like a food company. Put “SN” in the logo a nod to ... for the customers who knew what they were actually buying. Bundled gas masks and nitrogen regulators with the kits. Offered consultation calls. Sent 1,209 packages to 41 countries and collected $300,000 through Shopify and PayPal like any other Canadian small business.

He’s going to get 14 years. Maximum. If the court actually delivers that. We find out in September.

Murder charges? Dropped. Plea deal. Aiding suicide. Cleaner charge. Lighter optics. The same way everything in this country gets softened when the subject is death.

Here’s what nobody wants to say out loud.

Canada spent a decade telling its own people that death is a solution. We built the infrastructure. We wrote the billing codes. We trained the practitioners. We gave it a name that sounds like a spa treatment Medical Assistance in Dying and we put it in hospitals next to maternity wards. We expanded it and expanded it again and we’re about to expand it to people whose only condition is a mental illness.

We did not create Kenneth Law. But we absolutely created his customer base.

You don’t spend ten years normalizing the idea that suffering is best resolved by dying and then act confused when someone builds a business around it. He didn’t manufacture demand. He found it and he packaged it behind a hot sauce label. He shipped it to a 16-year-old in Ontario and two other children who weren’t supposed to be able to order at all and somehow did anyway.

The same week Law pled guilty, Canada quietly crossed 100,000 MAiD MURDERS since 2016.

One hundred thousand.

That number got less coverage than a mid-level political scandal. It landed with almost no noise. Because we’ve normalized it so thoroughly that six figures doesn’t register as a crisis anymore. It registers as a program working as intended.

I am a combat veteran. I have been assessed as eligible for MAiD under Canada’s current criteria. I’ve said that to Parliament. I’ve said it on Triggernometry. I’ll keep saying it until someone in power feels the weight of what that means. I’ll keep saying it until someone in power feels the weight of what that means.

The system doesn’t distinguish between a soldier who survived war and a teenager who found a website. It just sees suffering it can close a file on.

Kenneth Law saw the same thing. He just didn’t have a medical license.

He’s going to prison. That’s correct, but the ideology that made his product desirable that gave it cultural permission, that built the demand, that told an entire generation of vulnerable people that death is a reasonable off-ramp for pain that’s still fully operational.

Still funded.
Still expanding.
Still coming for people I know.

The dead don’t talk. The families are traumatized and mostly silent. The practitioners who approved the deaths are protected by law. And the people who designed the whole system are still writing op-eds about dignity and compassion and calling critics emotional.

I’m angry, pissed off and over people accepting this. You should be too.
