Update to Alberta's MAID deaths for FY April 1 2022 to March 31 2023. I now have the total number of killings at 1,309, up from 973 in 2021/2022. That's an increase of 34.5% deaths.

Alberta's MAID costs and billing codes below for 2021-2022 fiscal year.

Alberta and Quebec don't hide their patient execution costs unlike Ontario. Is it even remotely possible that Ontario is ashamed of MAID and so they want to keep it secret?

Ontario farms out 44 plus abortions to other provinces

Canadian abortion statistics 2015-2019

I continue to receive abortion statistics from my access to information requests from the provinces and territories of Canada.

I am only missing Northwest Territories. I will post NWT once I receive the information.

My question to AHS regarding their statistics, and their response: 
Q. Can you explain why your stats are consistently lower than those stats reported by CIHI?
A. There are two reasons
1.       Difference in Data source (We use Claims and CIHI uses inpatient/outpatient data).
2.       Difference in methodology (We restrict any claims with 60 days as one abortion) but am not sure about CIHI (You can confirm with them).

I received abortion statistics from Alberta Health Services (AHS) through a freedom of information request. I then compared these numbers to CIHI's numbers. As you can see, AHS's numbers are less than CIHI's. This was a surprise since both Quebec and Ontario's numbers are higher than CIHI's.

But notice the footnotes.

From CIHI data:

"patients with coverage under Quebec’s health insurance plan receiving care in Alberta are reported by Alberta. However, patients with coverage under Alberta’s health insurance plan receiving care in Quebec are not reported (by either Quebec or Alberta)."

So abortions covered by AHS, but done in Quebec, aren't reported anywhere.

From Alberta data:

"Mifegymiso prescriptions were introduced in July 2017 which affected abortions numbers for the last two fiscal years."

So abortions covered by AHS do not include medical abortions, but only surgical abortions. This means that 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 numbers would be higher than reported--if only we knew how many medical abortions were occurring in Alberta.

Once again we have confusion over abortion statistics.
