Ontario: At Least 428 Non-compliant Euthanasia Deaths.

"The reason the public has been left in the dark about Canadian euthanasia providers’ noncompliance with the law is simple: the authorities have decided there is nothing to see."

By Alex Schadenberg, Executive Director, Euthanasia Prevention Coalition

A research essay by Alexander Raikin that was published by the New Atlantis on November 11, 2024 uncovers that there have been at least 428 non-compliant euthanasia deaths in the province of Ontario. In his research essay Raikin sets out the tone of his conclusions in his opening paragraph by stating:

For years, there have been clear signals that euthanasia providers in Canada may be breaking the law and getting away with it. That is the finding of the officials who are responsible for monitoring euthanasia deaths to ensure compliance in the province of Ontario. Newly uncovered reports reveal that these authorities have thus far counted over 400 apparent violations — and have kept this information from the public and not pursued a single criminal charge, even against repeat violators and “blatant” offenders.

Firstly, I would like to thank Alexander Raikin for the incredible research and continued research into Canada's euthanasia law. Raikin's essay is long but thorough. I can assure you that Raikin is only uncovering the tip of the iceberg.
