Canada legalized euthanasia (MAiD) in 2016. Victoria BC has the highest euthanasia rate in the world.

Canada plans to implement euthanasia for mental illness alone in March 2024. Canada is now discussing expanding euthanasia to include children "mature minors" and incompetent people who made an advanced request in their power of attorney. There is discussion of euthanasia for people who are mentally incompetent with dementia and the Quebec College of Physicians is advocating for euthanasia of newborns.

Making Canadians aware and activating them to stop the killing.

What does the world think of Canada's killing?
