Fighting MAID - Priests must speak out against euthanasia
With a little help from AI: which countries perform the most euthanasia per capita?
- The jurisdictions with the highest rates of euthanasia or physician-assisted dying (MAID) per capita are Canada and the Netherlands. Specifically, the Canadian province of Quebec reports the highest regional rate globally.As a percentage of total deaths:
- Quebec, Canada: Accounted for 6.8% of total deaths in a recent reporting period (April 2022-March 2023). In 2023, MAID accounted for 4.7% of all deaths across Canada.
- Netherlands: Euthanasia and assisted suicide cases make up approximately 4.8% to over 5% of all deaths.
- Belgium: The rate is around 2.3% of all deaths.
- Switzerland: Assisted suicide accounts for approximately 1.5% to 2.3% of all deaths.
From Priests for Life recent newsletter on what we Catholics and clergy need to do to counter the euthanasia lobby:
The euthanasia forces have a very clear program. Make killing not just available but make it socially acceptable, seen as a natural alternative and morally obligatory. Once a decision is made, it must not be discussed, but just accepted and lauded.
...
I would challenge anyone reading this newsletter to realize that we must embark on several things at the same time, difficult though they may be. Firstly, our people are being educated by their front pages and newsfeeds. They are being bombarded by the pro-euthanasia campaign. We also need an engaging campaign teaching why suicide and being killed by physicians is wrong. This must be a sustained campaign - not just for one week or year. It must reach Catholics and non-practicing Catholics.Secondly, we must be very clear about fighting for the conscience rights of family members who are responsible for those who are weak and vulnerable. The conscience rights of our health care workers, the social necessity of protecting the weak and the vulnerable must be protected.Thirdly, these are life and death situations. We need to educate our own priests and deacons to be leaders in this area and to militate for their own legal protections. The pro-death campaign is well on its way in our hospitals, hospices, and nursing homes. Is the pro-life campaign really up to responding?Fr. Tom Lynch (PFLC National President)

Ontario hides tax dollars used to euthanize citizens
We now know that Quebec paid almost $6 million dollars in 2022 to euthanize citizens.
I asked Ontario for the same information:
"Can you please provide me with all information relating to the payments made to health professionals in providing Medical Aid in Dying (MAID) to patients. I am looking for the total fees paid to these providers, for their MAID services (ie for MAID consults, counseling, injecting the drugs, etc). I understand that MAID is not put on death certificates, so I would like to understand how health professionals are paid for these services, since usually there are doctor's billing codes associated with all services. How are the health professionals paid for MAID services? Time Period: June 1, 2016 to April 30, 2023"
So what does Ontario do? They hide the fees paid. Doesn't surprise me. They also hid abortion numbers until we were forced to take them to court. And won.
Here is the response I received from Ontario:
"This is to inform you that no responsive records were located. A reasonable search of the Strategic Policy, Planning & French Language Services and The Ontario Health Insurance Plan was conducted, and no responsive records were found. Greg Hein, Assistant Deputy Minister, Strategic Policy, Planning & French Language Services is responsible for this decision.
Physicians
The Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) Schedule of Benefits for Physician Services (‘the Schedule’) does not include fee codes exclusive for the provision of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID); rather, the services related to MAID are eligible for payment through existing OHIP fee codes for insured services.
As such, there is no way to determine, using the OHIP claims data, specific MAID patients and/or the payments made to physicians in providing MAID services to these patients.
Nurse Practitioners (NPs)
NPs are provided a salary to provide comprehensive patient care, and MAID services are considered part of the comprehensive basket of services that NPs may provide to patients.
The ministry does not receive information on the portion of an NP’s salary that is allocated for the provision of MAID services from the health service providers that employ them.
Pharmacists
The ministry does not compensate pharmacists for the provision of MAID-related services (e.g., dispensing MAID drugs). Drugs used for the provision of MAID are reimbursed by the ministry according to the amounts specified in this Notice from the Executive Officer.
The total amounts reimbursed referenced in the notice refer to the maximum amount that may be reimbursed for each specific type of MAID kit. Where appropriate, a lower total amount is to be claimed in situations where a prescription does not require one or more of the drugs or components in the kit. The lower amount claimed by pharmacists is the acquisition cost of the drugs within the kit that are dispensed.
Other Providers
The ministry does not receive information from health service providers on the proportion of salary or fees otherwise paid to health care professionals in their employ (e.g., nurses) for MAID services."
At least Quebec will tell us how much they spend to kill people. Ontario hides it.

Costs to euthanize Quebec citizens in 2022
My Freedom of Information request to the Quebec government on the tragedy of euthanasia:
"Can you please provide me with all information relating to the payments made to health professionals in providing Medical Aid in Dying (MAID) to patients. I am looking for the total fees paid to these providers, for their MAID services (ie for MAID consults, counseling, injecting the drugs, etc)"
The first document below is what I received back in French. I used Google Translate to provide the English translations of the descriptions, and posted them below the French. Total cost of MAID was $5,880,162. That's nearly $6 million dollars to euthanize Quebec citizens.
Imagine instead of killing these people, we spent that money on helping them with their poverty, their mental illness, their pain, and their suffering? Isn't that what a caring society is supposed to do?

The lie continues that Canadian abortions occur only until 23 weeks and 6 days
"No providers in Canada offer abortion care beyond 23 weeks and 6 days." Action Canada for Sexual Health and Rights
I've now been able to read the paper that I discussed here: Later gestational age abortion in Canada: A scoping review. Carly Demont, Anvita Dixit, and Angel M. Foster. The Canadian Journal of Human Sexuality 2023 32:1, 51-62
Unfortunately I was unable to access the numerous studies this study refers to, but I was still able to learn the following from the paper itself. All emphasis added. All quotes are from the paper itself.
1) Research done on Quebec abortions: This study looked at gestational age abortions from 16 weeks to 37 weeks. stillbirth data, 1981–2006, N. Auger, G. Denis, Published 1 April 2012, Medicine, International Journal of Public Health "Objectives: We evaluated late pregnancy abortions from 1981 to 2006 in Québec, Canada. Methods We extracted late abortions from the stillbirth mortality file, and calculated yearly rates per 100,000 pregnancies, including mean gestational age, birth weight, maternal age and education. Results: There were 14.4 late abortions per 100,000 overall pregnancies [95% confidence interval 12.9, 16.1], and rates appeared to increase with time. Mean gestational age (24.7 weeks) and birth weight (886 g) suggested that abortions were performed in the late second and third trimesters. Conclusions Late abortions in Québec are not common but do occur. Research is needed to determine whether the increase in rates over time reflects better reporting or a true increase."
So these babies were at a mean age of 24.7 weeks and 885 g. That's more than 23 weeks and 6 days and almost two pounds in weight. Obviously some of these babies would be even larger than this, and as noted, up until 37 weeks gestation.
2) "Second-trimester abortion is associated with higher rates of complications compared to first-trimester terminations."
This study referred to gestational ages abortions from 13 weeks to 26 weeks 6 days. Once again, proof of abortions being performed past the so-called 23 weeks and 6 days limit)
3) "[Medical] students surveyed held significantly more positive attitudes toward first-trimester abortions than toward second-trimester surgical abortion."
In other words, the medical students had an issue with killing later term babies.
4) "13 of 16 Canadian clinics reported performing an estimated of 1,850 dilation and evacuation procedures".
That's a lot of clinics performing these horrific late-term abortions where the limbs are removed one by one and finally the head is crushed to remove it as well.
5) "There has been a declining proportion of abortions that occur late in the second trimester. There is concern that this will have implications for training and maintaining skills and that the distribution of services is becoming increasingly uneven."
They're concerned about the fact that fewer doctors will have the skills required to rip a baby apart? You can't make this stuff up.
6) "We spoke with three LGA abortion providers, three directors/executives of pro-choice networks and advocacy groups, and one womxn’s (this is not a typo) SRH researcher in Canada. All topic experts currently or previously held senior positions within their organizations/institutions and resided in British Columbia, Nova Scotia, or Ontario. All had experience helping abortion seekers who were past the gestational limit in their region access needed abortion care."
Here we have the pro-aborts actively going outside the medical guidelines. It shows just how ineffective those guidelines are.
7) "[Our topic experts] specifically focused on the lack of abortion services after 24 weeks’ gestation as being an increasing problem. One expert explained, “Until progress is made towards post-24-week care being available within Canada, provinces and territories should have robust ‘out-of-country’ travel processes that support individuals to make a plan to get the care they need.”"
And again...discussions from the 'experts' that they need post-24-week abortion care when Canadian guidelines do not allow abortions after 23 weeks 6 days.
What is always noticeably absent from any discussions by the pro-aborts on abortion, is the very clinical way in which it is always discussed. There is never any talk of the morality of abortion. When we lock up our consciences and throw away the key, a pre-born child only has worth if we condescend to give it.

National Abortion Federation never reported Kermit Gosnell's clinic and now receives Canadian tax dollars
This story is frightening: Kermit Gosnell killed women and children. Ann McElhinney did a six part podcast on this real life horror story.
Kermit Gosnell was a serial killer, a major drug dealer, a fraudster, a liar and who knows what else. Not only did he kill women and snip the necks of born children, he taught his non-medical staff to provide copious amounts of drugs to women (illegally) before their abortions. He also taught them how to kill the babies. His staff would do this when Gosnell wasn't present, as he usually didn't come to work until the evening. That's when Gosnell did the very late abortions himself.
Here is the grand jury report on this story, 281 pages detailing all manner of evil.
The report details how numerous agencies and health professionals ignored/did nothing regarding this house of horrors when they should have. In particular:
- Department of Health lawyers at the Pennsylvania Department of State
- The Philadelphia Department of Public Health
- Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and its subsidiary, Penn Presbyterian Medical Center
- Centers for Disease Control
- Fellow doctors
- The National Abortion Federation
"We discovered that Pennsylvania’s Department of Health has deliberately chosen not to enforce laws that should afford patients at abortion clinics the same safeguards and assurances of quality health care as patients of other medical service providers. Even nail salons in Pennsylvania are monitored more closely for client safety... Most appalling of all, the Department of Health’s 138 neglect of abortion patients’ safety and of Pennsylvania laws is clearly not inadvertent: It is by design.""The problem with the Departments of State and Health is not that they lacked authority to end the crime spree that Gosnell and his staff passed off as practicing medicine. The problem is that the state overseers preferred not to exercise their authority. They chose to look the other way.'"
"Supervisors in the Division of Disease Control ignored a nurse’s disturbing report about conditions in Gosnell’s clinic in 2008 and 2009."
"The Philadelphia Health Department’s Environmental Engineering Section failed to follow through after receiving a complaint in 2003 about aborted fetuses stored in an employee refrigerator."
"FELLOW DOCTORS WHO OBSERVED THE RESULTS OF GOSNELL’S RECKLESS AND CRIMINAL PRACTICES FAILED TO REPORT HIM TO AUTHORITIES."
"After reviewing extensive and compelling evidence of criminal wrongdoing at the clinic, the Grand Jury has issued a presentment recommending the prosecution of Gosnell and members of his staff for criminal offenses including: • Murder of Karnamaya Mongar • Murders of babies born alive • Infanticide • Violations of the Controlled Substances Act • Hindering, Obstruction, and Tampering • Perjury • Illegal late-term abortions • Violations of the Abortion Control Act • Violations of the Controlled Substances Act • Abuse of Corpse • Theft by Deception • Conspiracy • Corrupt Organization • Corruption of Minors"
Canadians should take particular note of the National Abortion Federation:
"A national association of abortion providers declined to admit the Women’s Medical Society [Kermit Gosnell's abortion clinic] as a member, finding it to be the worst facility its inspector had ever seen...the evaluator from NAF readily noted that records were not properly kept, that risks were not explained, that patients were not monitored, that equipment was not available, that anesthesia was misused. It was the worst abortion clinic she had ever inspected. Of course, she rejected Gosnell’s application. She just never told anyone in authority about all the horrible, dangerous things she had seen." (emphasis added)
In fact NAF supposedly:
"is an association of abortion providers that upholds the strictest health and legal standards for its members." (emphasis added)
Yet the NAF inspector didn't tell anyone about the problems she witnessed there.
And guess what? This year Health Canada gave funding to NAF Canada (NAF is now active here) in the amount of $1,469,150. Even though their inspector witnessed first hand problems with Gosnell's clinic, they never reported it to anyone. They just turned a blind eye. And now Canada is giving them our tax dollars.
I don't know about you, but I find this fact pretty disturbing.

Justin Trudeau and the truckers
From the Documentary: Trucking for Freedom (Part 1)
"For thirty-three days, the world watched. Crossing ten provinces and three territories; thousands of trucks traversed the highways and by-ways of Canada’s northern climes in this exclusive documentary offering an immersive look into an extraordinary moment in Canadian history. The Chronicle Brothers imbedded themselves within the Canadian Trucker Convoy capturing the unifying pulse of everyday people.
The directors blend interviews and live footage, journaling unbiased truths intrinsically viewed through a camera lens. They expose the raw emotion and purpose of those who felt compelled to embark on a journey fraught with both joy and sorrow.
The film lays bare a deep and broadening divide within a country known for unity and trust, and how two years of lockdowns illuminated the disparity in the working class and the political landscape. It gives a raw and unpolished visual of diverse Canadians holding a gutted Canadian Charter up to a spotlight and hoping to be heard."
I have puzzled for a long time now about the motives of our Prime Minister for the things he says and does. This never puzzled me as much as the recent trucker convoy to Ottawa did.
Justin Trudeau treated the truckers and what they stood for--freedom--with total disdain. He refused to meet with them or even to listen to them. He called them "anti-vaxxer mobs" launching "racist, misogynistic attacks."
The only other group Trudeau has treated with such contempt is pro-life Canadians.
So why did Trudeau show such dislike for the truckers? I think I figured it out. He was very angry with them that was clear from the start. But I think in the final analysis, Justin Trudeau was jealous of them. He was jealous that they rallied an entire country around them. Something Justin Trudeau doesn't know how to do.
I wasn't in Ottawa for the time the truckers were here, but I happened to see the beginning of the convoy when we traveled the Ottawa Queensway from Kanata to downtown Ottawa on Jan 29. The right hand lane was filled with trucks. I expected the 18 wheelers, but was totally unprepared for the smaller trucks of all descriptions, and many many cars, all united by a common cause. There were so many Canadian flags, miles of them. I saw people at every overpass cheering them on. I had never seen such an outpouring of love for anything in my life before this. I could tell people were happy. They were excited. They stood behind something important: our freedom. I knew something electric was taking place.
Over the 33 days of the protest, I spoke to people who were downtown to see for themselves what was happening there. They all remarked on the joy and love that was filling the bitter cold days so common in Ottawa. I saw reams and reams of footage of what was taking place. I saw people of different ethnic groups, of different ages, from the west and from the east. I saw Quebec flags and Canadian flags; Albertans and Francophones united together.
Justin Trudeau is divisive. He only supports those with whom he agrees. He spreads disinformation about those he doesn't like or doesn't agree with. We pro-life Canadians are only too familiar with his tactics. And now the truckers have felt it as well.
The truckers did what Justin Trudeau could not. They united a country. And for this they paid a heavy price.
Watch part one of the documentary. It is great.

The UK Spectator: MAID is all about the money
From a UK Spectator op-ed entitled Why is Canada euthanising the poor?
When the UK sits up and takes notice of Canada's legal killing regime, maybe it's time for our own government subsidized media to do likewise.
"A man with a neurodegenerative disease testified to Parliament that nurses and a medical ethicist at a hospital tried to coerce him into killing himself by threatening to bankrupt him with extra costs or by kicking him out of the hospital, and by withholding water from him for 20 days. Virtually every disability rights group in the country opposed the new law. To no effect: for once, the government found it convenient to ignore these otherwise impeccably progressive groups.
Since then, things have only gotten worse. A woman in Ontario was forced into euthanasia because her housing benefits did not allow her to get better housing which didn’t aggravate her crippling allergies. Another disabled woman applied to die because she ‘simply cannot afford to keep on living’. Another sought euthanasia because Covid-related debt left her unable to pay for the treatment which kept her chronic pain bearable – under the present government, disabled Canadians got $600 in additional financial assistance during Covid; university students got $5,000.
When the family of a 35-year-old disabled man who resorted to euthanasia arrived at the care home where he lived, they encountered ‘urine on the floor… spots where there was feces on the floor… spots where your feet were just sticking. Like, if you stood at his bedside and when you went to walk away, your foot was literally stuck.’ According to the Canadian government, the assisted suicide law is about ‘prioritis[ing] the individual autonomy of Canadians’; one may wonder how much autonomy a disabled man lying in his own filth had in weighing death over life.
Despite the Canadian government’s insistence that assisted suicide is all about individual autonomy, it has also kept an eye on its fiscal advantages. Even before Bill C-7 entered into force, the country’s Parliamentary Budget Officer published a report about the cost savings it would create: whereas the old MAID regime saved $86.9 million per year – a ‘net cost reduction’, in the sterile words of the report – Bill C-7 would create additional net savings of $62 million per year. Healthcare, particular for those suffering from chronic conditions, is expensive; but assisted suicide only costs the taxpayer $2,327 per ‘case’. And, of course, those who have to rely wholly on government-provided Medicare pose a far greater burden on the exchequer than those who have savings or private insurance.
And yet Canada’s lavishly subsidised media, with some honourable exceptions, has expressed remarkably little curiosity about the open social murder of citizens in one of the world’s wealthiest countries. Perhaps, like many doctors, journalists are afraid of being accused of being ‘unprogressive’ for questioning the new culture of death, a fatal accusation in polite circles. Canada’s public broadcaster [that would be our infamous CBC], which in 2020 reassured Canadians that there was ‘no link between poverty, choosing medically assisted death’, has had little to say about any of the subsequent developments.
Next year, the floodgates will open even further when those suffering from mental illness – another disproportionately poor group – become eligible for assisted suicide, although enthusiastic doctors and nurses have already pre-empted the law. There is already talk of allowing ‘mature minors’ access to euthanasia too – just think of the lifetime savings. But remember, slippery slopes are always a fallacy." (emphasis added)

Because of Justin Trudeau Canada has lost its way
God bless Rex Murphy and Jordan Peterson. They are the two best Canadian leaders we never had. Their discussion below is a mind-blowingly accurate assessment of Canada's very sorry current state of affairs.
And God bless the truckers too who stood up to Trudeau's tyranny.
Then there's NDP leader Jagmeet Singh. I've never understood how Justin Trudeau manages to stay in power. And now SIngh is an even a bigger mystery. The man is clearly Trudeau's lap-dog. So what is in it for Singh? Maybe some kind of narcissistic ego boost?
Now Singh has confirmed that there really are two solitudes in Canada, and only one of them should have the emergency act used against them. And that would be the truckers:
"Indigenous land defenders, climate change activists, workers fighting for fairness. And any Canadian using their voice to peacefully demand justice – should never be subject to the Emergencies Act".

Erin O'Toole on conscience rights or lack thereof
I recently received a copy of a letter that a Canadian recently sent to Erin O'Toole. The letter pretty much speaks for itself.
Dear Mr. O'Toole,
Mr. Trudeau can't have it both ways. If he's pro-choice then he has to support choice for both. To support the choice to have an abortion, but not the choice to refuse to facilitate an abortion, is, logically, and by the common sense definition of "choice," not pro-choice. He is pro-choice only in one case, anti-choice in the other. So, clearly, choice is not the issue for Mr. Trudeau; abortion is the issue. And when the two choices come into conflict, he chooses the choice of abortion. Hence, he is pro-abortion.
