In 2017, the first full year in which MAiD, which is administered by provincial governments, was in operation, 2,838 people opted for assisted suicide, according to a government report. By 2021, that figure had jumped to 10,064—accounting for more than 3 percent of all deaths in Canada that year.
There have been a total of 31,664 MAiD deaths and the large majority of those people were 65 to 80 when they died. In 2017, only 34 MAiD deaths were in the 18- to 45-year-old category. In 2018, that figure rose to at least 49. In 2019, it was 103; in 2020,118; and in 2021, 139.
I have read for quite awhile (prior to COVID) that religious-affiliated centers in BC have been fighting this. Apparently The Powers That Shouldn’t Be are trying to FORCE Catholic (and other Christian affiliated) hospices to commit murder-by-euthanasia.

socialists/communists believe in the dogma that "religion is the opiate of the masses" - i.e. faith is like heroin.
God v the devil - good v evil.
Part of the reason I refer to socialists as "libtard demoNrats" rather than liberal democrats.
