CANADA : Canada boasts one of the world’s highest assisted-death rates, supposedly enabling the terminally ill to die with dignity. However, this suicide program increasingly resembles a dystopian replacement for care services, exchanging social welfare for euthanasia. …
Disability and other advocates have been warning us for years that MAiD puts people at risk. They warned that the risk of people choosing death — because it’s easier than fighting to survive in a system that impoverishes people, and disproportionately does so to those who are disabled — is real.
Underinvestment in medical care will push people up to and beyond the brink, which means some will choose to die instead of “burden” their loved ones or society at large. They were right.
Canadians with disabilities are choosing Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) because they can’t afford to live or house themselves in Canada. The Liberals’ solution is to offer those with disabilities an extra $6 a day.
The Liberal government in 2022 said the new federal disability benefit “would really lift a significant amount of people out of poverty big time.”
However, the Liberals’ recent 2024 budget reveals that they plan to help Canadians living with disabilities and living in poverty by providing only $6 a day under the new federal disability benefit, with payments not expected to start rolling out until mid-2025.
