Quebec has the Highest Euthanasia Death Rate in the World, Will Great Britain Be Next?

According to the 2024-25 report of the Commission on end-of-life care, medics directly killed 6,268 people in Quebec, accounting for almost one in every twelve deaths.

Politicians at Westminster and Holyrood are currently scrutinizing legislation that would allow state-sponsored suicide across Great Britain.

Self-coercion

The Commission noted that the number of “MAID (Medical Aid in Dying) procedures administered and the proportion of deaths resulting from MAID” have been on the rise in the province since euthanasia was legalised in 2015.

During the study period, 7.9 per cent of all deaths were attributed to MAID, an increase of nine per cent on the previous year.

More than half cited feeling a burden on family, friends or caregivers as a reason they chose euthanasia, while 24 per cent said they wished to die because they felt lonely or isolated.

Approximately 4 per cent of people received MAID “on the same day or the day after signing the official form”, and there were 19 reports of “non-compliance”, where the patient’s death did not meet all the legal criteria.

Canadians Opting for Assisted Suicide due to Lack of Access to Care

By Jonathon Van Maren, LifeSiteNews (pictured at right).

The family of an elderly man is speaking out about the terrible hospital conditions that led their father to request euthanasia before he died of natural causes.

The family of Cleo Gratton, an 84-year-old retired diamond driller who died earlier this month in Chelmsford, Ontario, of natural causes after being approved for assisted suicide, is speaking publicly about their appalling experience in the Canadian healthcare system.

According to the CBC, the elderly man “told his family he would rather die than go back to Health Sciences North in Sudbury,” and that a recent stay there found Gratton, who was suffering from heart disease and kidney failure, spending one night in the emergency room and then being transferred to a bed sitting in the hallway on the seventh floor.

Canadian Advocacy Groups Push Euthanasia Program for Children

Blaze TV Staff, 11/09/25 

On Nov. 6, Rep. Neal Dunn (R-Fla.) [pictured here] joined The Epoch Times Senior Editor Jan Jekielek on his show American Thought Leaders to discuss what he considers one of the gravest crimes of our time: the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) state-sanctioned forced organ harvesting.

“I’m one of the few members of Congress who’ve ever actually done transplant surgery,” Dunn said. “I understand a lot of it is coming near and dear to my heart, and the idea of actually murdering someone—to take their organs and give them to somebody else—that is as appalling as anything that anybody’s ever done in the history of the world. That’s right up there with the Nazis and the Holocaust.”

A surgeon by training and a member of the House Select Committee on the CCP, Dunn has made combating China’s forced organ harvesting one of his top priorities. In the interview, he explained his sponsorship of the Block Organ Transplant Purchases from China Act of 2025, also known as the Block Act, a bill designed to ensure that no American citizen or institution participates in or profits from the Chinese regime’s organ transplant industry.

A Crime Hidden in Plain Sight

The Bodies Were Left to Rot

 By JGM 

On Friday, “professional marksmen” in Canada gunned down almost 400 ostriches. Birds that were clearly disease free; just more victims of the Canadian government’s totalitarian overreach. Deja vu- “the truckers rally.” ...

There are only five groups of ratites left in the world (ostriches, emus, kiwis, cassowaries, and rheas). They have a special place in the animal kingdom. Ratites may be the closest living relatives to the dinosaurs and truly are fascinating....

Note that the birds' bodies are left out in the open. 

In an actual biothreat scenario, the carcasses would have been disposed of immediately ...  

Québec Constitutional Bill 2025 Would Create a "Right to be Killed"

Alex Schadenberg, Executive Director, Euthanasia Prevention Coalition.  

The Québec National Assembly, on October 9, 2025; has proposed a bill to change the Québec constitution with - The Québec Constitional Bill 2025. The purpose of the bill is to "protect" Québec's identity as a secular society.

The Québec Constitutional Bill 2025 would also create [a] "right to be killed."

An article by François Carabin and Marco Bélair-Cirino that was published by Le Devoir on October 9, stated:  The Bill amends the Quebec Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms to "protect the right of Quebecers to die with dignity and to receive medical assistance in dying when their condition requires it."

Canada’s Churches on Fire

Raymond Ibrahim, original publication:  Oct 5, 2025.

The Stream

In mid-September, two churches in Canada were hit by Islamic extremists. On September 16, Our Lady of the Snows in Colville Lake, Northwest Territories — the community’s only church — was torched to the ground. Just days earlier, vandals had smashed windows and damaged property at Saint Peter and Saint Paul Coptic Orthodox Church in Pointe-Claire, Quebec, while also defacing a nearby convent with graffiti and broken glass. Locals called the attacks “heartbreaking” and “a really big loss to the community.”

Such attacks are common; one of the more notable ones occurred on June 9, 2024, when Toronto’s historic St. Anne’s Anglican Church and its priceless artwork were set ablaze and reduced to ashes. The pastor, Rev. Don Beyers, said his congregation was “greatly devastated”:

Physicians in Quebec Continue to Push for Infant Euthanasia

By Cassy Cooke 

Physicians in Quebec continue to push for infant euthanasia.  The Quebec College of Physicians has confirmed in recent reports that the group still wants infants to be eligible for euthanasia in Canada, following the lead of the Netherlands. 

Key Takeaways: Since legalizing euthanasia, Canada has reached one of the highest rates of the fatal practice in the world. The nation is already set to legalize euthanasia for the mentally ill. A group of Quebec physicians is continuing to push for infants to be eligible for euthanasia. Infant euthanasia is already legal in the Netherlands.

Even mainstream secular outlets are noticing the horrors and abuse of legalized euthanasia. 

It’s almost back-to-school time in many parts of Canada. Will students be painting coffins in the playground? Will they have field trips to and pajama parties in funeral homes? These are some suggestions, mentioned on the podcast Disrupting Death, for how Canadians might normalize for children the country’s Medical Aid in Dying regime.

MAID is physician-assisted suicide, which, not very long ago, most of us would consider medical malpractice, or another M-word: murder. It is the current euphemism of choice, intended to make people feel more comfortable with doctors’ being called on to kill. It turns out that it is not only children who need some hand-holding to accept the unnatural and, frankly, downright evil. The former Hemlock Society, for example, an American right-to-die organization, is now known as Compassion & Choices. It wants you to believe that sometimes the only merciful thing in the face of suffering is to expedite death. Never mind that assisted suicide also saves money, and that it often preys on people at their most vulnerable. 

A major reporting piece in The Atlantic, “Canada Is Killing Itself,” ... should alarm Americans, too. During a panel discussion in Manhattan recently, a doctor explained that young trainees are increasingly wondering why suicide is taboo. We live in the day of “my body, my choice,” after all. So, who’s to say when suicide should be prevented? New York Governor Kathy Hochul is supposed to decide before the end of the year whether to sign a bill legalizing assisted suicide in the Empire State. I was in Albany on the day the state senate voted to pass the bill. Many of the Democrats who wound up voting for legalization acknowledged that, where assisted suicide is legal, there have been some reports of abuse. Calabro notes cases of individuals who are suffering from homelessness, mental illnesses, and even “hearing loss” who have requested or successfully applied for MAID in Canada.

What’s in a Name ? It’s Euthanasia or Assisted Suicide, Not “Medical Aid in Dying”

Gordon Friesen, Washington, DC

“That which is called a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.”*

Thus runs the amazingly fertile thought of the single most quoted speaker of the English language. And within the context of Romeo’s love for Juliet we are happy to approve.

However the exact correspondence of words to their objects is crucial to coherent thought, and doubly crucial when those words are found in written texts of law.

When two words are assumed to refer to the same object, but actually point to different things, we have a problem. And when one key word is legally enshrined, and charged with marking the limits of stable policy –but is none-the-less in a state of dynamic flux– we have another.

Sadly, with “Assisted Suicide” and “Medical Aid in Dying” (and indeed with all of the terms surrounding the assisted death debate) we have both of these problems in spades.

Delta Hospice Society Continues its Goal to have a Euthanasia-Free Hospice.

By Alex Schadenberg, 

Terry O'Neill reported for the BC Catholic on August 6, 2025 that the Delta Hospice Society, that has existed in Delta BC, for more than 30 years, is now be seeking to purchase property in Alberta in order to establish a euthanasia-free hospice.

O'Neill interviewed Angelina Ireland who is the executive director of the Delta Hospice Society who stated: 

“We are actively looking for a property, and we have the money — hundreds of thousands of dollars — to buy,” Ireland said in an email interview. “It is a desperate situation in this country, and the Delta Hospice Society has been stalled, stonewalled, abused, and vilified long enough.”

Catching Up on the News With Alex Schadenberg (Pictured Below)

Dear Friends:

I have very sad news. Stephen Mendelsohn, a disability leader, long-time opponent of assisted suicide, and member of the EPC-USA board, died on June 1 in an accident. Stephen followed the US state bills and updated leaders on news stories. He will be missed.

In late May, I had a speaking tour in British Columbia (BC) where I had engagements in Vernon, Kelowna, Salmon Arm, and Vancouver over four days. In Vancouver, I visited St. Paul’s Hospital to see the euthanasia clinic that was imposed on the hospital by the BC Ministry of Health. The euthanasia clinic was opened in January 2025.

Background: In June 2023, the euthanasia lobby was pressuring the BC government to force Catholic hospitals (Providence Health Care) to provide euthanasia. They used the story of Samantha O’Neill (34) who requested euthanasia at St. Paul’s. The hospital did not provide euthanasia; they transferred O’Neill to St. John Hospice (operated by Vancouver Coastal Health) and she died by euthanasia on April 4, 2023. In December 2023, based on the pressure from the euthanasia lobby, the BC government expropriated property from Providence Health (at St. Paul’s) to build a killing center.

We Mourn the Death of Stephen Mendelsohn

By Alex Schadenberg, Executive Director, Euthanasia Prevention Coalition (EPC).*

The amazing genius and focused disability activist, Stephen Mendelsohn, age 63 [pictured right], worked tirelessly to oppose assisted suicide as a member of Second Thoughts Connecticut and as a member of the EPC - USA board, has died.

According to a media report Stephen Mendelsohn died when he was hit by a car on Sunday evening (June 1).

Mendelsohn was an incredible researcher. He would read through legislative texts and uncover specific language variations that may not have been noticed immediately. Also, the interventions that he wrote opposing assisted suicide bills often used new talking points and ways to oppose killing by assisted suicide.

We Demand a Complete Review of Canada's Euthanasia Law.

By Gordon Friesen, President, Euthanasia Prevention Coalition (EPC)  

EPC has an online petition, we have post-cards to be sent to members of Parliament and we have a traditional paper petition demanding a complete review of Canada's euthanasia law. Contact EPC at: info@epcc.ca to order post-cards or paper petitions.

In coming weeks and months, the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition and the Delta Hospice Society will be calling on government's to undertake a complete, and long-promised review of euthanasia (MAiD) in Canada.

It is our observation that events have unfolded in a completely unexpected and alarming fashion; that current policy has little to do with its originally stated intent; that such policy is in fact leading us on a horrific course that no one consciously chose (or very few) but which is now evolving under its own anti-human economic logic and impetus.

Even we, in the organized resistance to euthanasia, have been taken unawares, while our rhetoric has been roughly overtaken by the facts. To take one key example, it has always been a priority to champion fair treatment of the most vulnerable, in terms of access to needed care and services. For we all immediately understand that legal euthanasia threatens the safety of specific lives. What we did not understand is just how many lives that would be.
