Canada has enthusiastically embraced euthanasia. And maybe that’s not surprising given that socialist countries must inevitably ration treatment, and the best rationing is accomplished by limiting the number of people who need serious care. However, many Canadians are now thinking of euthanasia, not just as a cure for untreated or untreatable illnesses, but also for homelessness and poverty.
These numbers come from a Research Co. poll asking Canadians about their attitudes toward Canada’s expanding Medical Assistance in Dying (or MAID) program:
One third of Canadians are apparently fine with prescribing assisting suicide for no other reason than the fact that the patient is poor or homeless.
The results were contained in a recent Research Co. poll probing just how comfortable Canadians were with the current state of the country’s MAID (medical assistance in dying) regime.
Starting in March 2021, Canada became one of only a handful of countries to legalize assisted suicide even in instances where a patient does not have a terminal illness. Ever since, a Canadian can be approved for MAID simply for having a “grievous and irremediable medical condition.”
Research Co. found that 73 per cent of poll respondents favoured the current regime, and only 16 per cent opposed it.
Pollsters also found not-insignificant numbers of Canadians who favoured assisted suicide in cases where no medical condition of any kind was present.
If a Canadian’s only affliction was “poverty,” 27 per cent said they would be fine with legalizing that person’s access to MAID. Another 28 per cent pegged “homelessness” as an appropriate bar to qualify for MAID.
Incidentally, when it comes to euthanasia for poverty (27% support) and for homelessness (28% support), another 11% of respondents really weren’t that sure.

Which numbers, the poor and homeless or the support to off them?
Everything is going exactly according to plan.

works for me..../s
To see the hypocrisy factor, they needed to ask the people if they were poor or homeless, if they would want to be euthanized.
I have had a few what I’d call Low Moments. Having been raised Christian really helped me during those times.
I could at least imagine that my story here was not done yet, that The Father has other plans for me, but at present, there is a lesson I am meant to learn from.
When I could not call on anyone for help, mostly due to my own pride and vanity, I could call on God for some guidance.
For those who were raised completely unchurched and just going through the motions during Christmas or Easter, I don’t know how they do it, unless they take spiritual guidance from other sources than I do.
That also works for some folks.
The important thing is to have faith in what cannot be sensed at that moment. Something other than people.
hangover?
bad hair day?
euthanasia will cure that
The country whose ancestors survived by taking an axe and some traps and heading off for the wilderness. They have fallen further than New Yorkers or Washingtonians.
“If they would rather die,” said Scrooge, “they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population.”
Disagree with Fidelito and you’ll be out of a job and on the street. Then you’ll be euthanized
Whereas, I suspect, white people are encouraged to see suicide as the answer.
Article states....”Canadians are now thinking of euthanasia, not just as a cure for untreated or untreatable illnesses, but also for homelessness and poverty.”.....
Now that’s really a cop-out. Both homelessness and being poor can be overcome. It’s not like Canada doesn’t have any agencies willing to help. Howver you have to be willing to “take up your mat and walk” once the solution is revealed to you.
Are they using that as a euphemism for "Justin Trudeau?"
Canada doesn’t have the death penalty but it seems they are starting to make up for that deficiency in odd ways nevertheless. The culture of death rolls on.
With such an attitude there won’t be many Canadians left pretty soon. Things will become much worse and the living will envy the dead.
It’s Canada-who cares?
"We need your liver" might also soon be seen as a good justification for euthanasia!

Well, whenever I see homeless zombies walking around on Fentanyl or Tranq, I think they’d be better off dead.
Put a positive spin on it, we need to make room for all the liberal Americans who will want to come here in 2025 after Trump regains the presidency. Then the rest of us will probably want to take advantage of this assisted suicide.
