BREAKING: Albertan officials are exploring legislation that would limit medically assisted suicide (MAiD) after a new report exposed the terrifying reality about the service, which is growing quicker than any other country. In 2023, 65 people in Ontario alone received MAiD the SAME DAY they applied, and 154 the...

Something very sinister is happening in Canada “1 out of every 20 deaths in Canada is now caused by the government's assisted suicide program What's even more shocking is how fast it happens in Ontario - In 2023, 219 people were killed within a day requesting medical assistance and dying - 30% died the very same day they asked the government for permission Assisted suicide has been legal in Canada for less than a decade, but it's already become a routine part of the healthcare system, and over time, the safeguards have been removed. The ten-day reflection period that used to be required gone. You don't even have to be terminally ill anymore. — In 2024, more than 76,000 Canadians died through the MAID program One disturbing case involved a woman in her eighties known as Mrs. B. She initially told her family she wanted assisted suicide, but then changed her mind, citing her personal and religious beliefs. The next day, her husband requested another assessment. One evaluator already raised concerns about possible coercion and caregiver burnout, but a third evaluator proved request after an online assessment, she was dead by the end of the day. As one doctor told me, hastening death becomes a path of least resistance. It's efficient, and it saves the healthcare system money. Once the state legitimizes what's easy, efficient, and cheap, it becomes very hard to choose a different path.“

Organ Donations Soar as MAiD Deaths Near 100,000. Kelsi Sheren Exposes Canada's Legal Euthanasia. In less than a decade, Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying program has quietly moved the country toward a grim milestone: more than 100,000 people euthanized under the banner of “healthcare.” Over the same period, Canada has surged into the top tier globally for organ donation tied to assisted deaths, turning MAiD into both a medical procedure and a pipeline feeding the transplant system. Kelsi Sheren joins us to expose how powerful lobbying groups are pushing to expand assisted dying as a 'normal' care option, while demanding stronger legal shields and immunity for the doctors who carry out this program.

🔥NO IT’S NOT FAKE🔥 Canada is now the world leader in assisted death. 13,000+ deaths in a single year. That’s ~4% of all deaths — and rising. What started for the terminally ill is expanding, next to mental illness. And I’ve heard it firsthand in Parliament: Veterans and disabled Canadians being offered MAID without even asking. At the same time: • Vulnerable people are falling through the cracks • Basic supports aren’t there • Oversight largely relies on self-reporting This is one of the most permissive systems in the world. Ask yourself: are we protecting people… or making it easier to give up on them? This isn’t outrage. It’s reality. #MAID #mentalillness

The Ontario Coroner’s Office recently released a report from a committee reviewing medically assisted deaths. It includes disturbing case studies. For example: -A psychiatrist proactively raised assisted suicide to a man in his 40’s with inflammatory bowel disease, who was undergoing a mental health assessment. The committee found his substance use was not explored in the #MAiD assessments. He was not offered addiction treatments. There was no documented input from his family. The MAiD provider personally drove him in their vehicle to the location of his death. -The report shows people who received assisted suicide under Track 2 – where death is not reasonably foreseeable – were much more likely to live in marginalized areas of Ontario. Where are the so-called “safeguards” that the NDP-Liberal govt promised? /1

Canada's medical assistance in dying (MAID) numbers are skyrocketing, with over 15,000 people using the program in 2023 alone. There is a growing sense of alarm that the system is expanding beyond its original intent. The core criticism is that MAID is now being offered for conditions like depression and obesity, rather than solely for terminal, physical illnesses like ALS. This shift represents a fundamental change in societal values—from intervention and suicide prevention to state-facilitated death for mental suffering. Commentators like Joe Rogan have called the situation insane, arguing that the medical system should be focused on helping people heal and find root causes for their pain, not offering them a permanent exit for what are often treatable conditions. While there is understanding for cases of terminal agony, offering MAID for psychological suffering is seen as a catastrophic failure of compassion and a dangerous slippery slope.

When Doctors Say “Finish the Job”: Inside Canada’s Assisted Dying Horror Stories Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying program isn’t just “end-of-life care.” It’s the state giving doctors the power to end a life. The record now shows how often that power is being abused. Postmortem reviews in Ontario alone have flagged over 400 cases where MAiD rules were ignored, including people who didn’t meet the legal criteria but were still nudged, steered, or outright pushed toward euthanasia. Kelsi Sheren recounts one especially horrifying case where a doctor told staff to “finish the job” while the patient was still conscious, a moment that sounds less like compassionate care and more like a system that has forgotten what medicine is for. As Western governments rush to expand assisted dying, what does this say about how little value they place on vulnerable lives, and about the future of healthcare in a culture that finds it easier to end suffering by ending the sufferer?

Is Canada saving money by killing its poor? The shocking numbers behind their MAID program. In a raw and emotional testimony, Kelsi Sheren unveils the horrifying economic and moral reality behind Canada's Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program. This isn't about compassion; it's about a systemic failure being monetized. The Staggering Numbers: - In 2021, the healthcare system saw a gross reduction of $109.2 million. - MAID alone accounted for $86.9 million in "savings" by replacing palliative care with death. - The number of MAID deaths is exploding: 10,500 in 2021, to 13,000 in 2022, with a 30% increase since. This is not a coincidence. It is a chilling solution to a crumbling system. The Perfect Storm of Despair: Why the spike? Look no further than the crises plaguing the most vulnerable. - A catastrophic housing & cost-of-living crisis. - A younger generation unable to afford their own lives, let alone $8,000-$10,000/month care for their elders. - A government importing millions without the infrastructure to support them, creating a sense of displacement among citizens. The result? A message of hopelessness is being sent to the youth. Group homes report "huge swaths" of individuals being convinced that death is the only answer, romanticized by media portrayals of a peaceful passing. The Harrowing Reality: But the reality is anything but peaceful. Sheren reveals the brutal, unspoken truth of a MAID death: it is not "bubbles on a beach." It is described as a terrifying, agonizing process akin to waterboarding. A fate so horrific, she states it would be easier to "jump in the ocean" than to die by MAID. The Lie is the Crime: The government lies. Officials lied about it being "one veteran" when multiple veterans have been offered MAID. They lie about the empathy behind it. The demand is simple: STOP LYING. If the goal is to kill vulnerable people to save money, just say it. Admit that citizens are being sacrificed to balance the books of a sold-out nation. A Call to Witness: Kelsi Sheren is a voice screaming into the void, acknowledging those who carved a path for these truths to be heard. She is the breacher, kicking in the door and taking the heat so others can follow. A nation is killing its own. It is telling its youth there is no future. The sick and poor are facing a terrifying death. This is not the Canada so many imagined. It is a nation failing its people, and the silence is complicity.

The medical records are irrelevant," adds, "Donald Trump's health is on display for the entire country every hour of every day.

Canada's MAID program: -Designed for individuals in an advanced state of irreversible decline. ie. terminal illness. -96% of Canadians who have received MAID, are white. -An Ontario man was assessed at a Tim Horton's parking lot & then driven straight to the procedure by the same doctor. -An individual who suffered from seasonal depression was denied MAID in Ontario, but received it in BC. He had complications from diabetes but was not terminal. -Multiple hospitals have offered MAID before treatment. A practice that should result in the revocation of the Doctor's medical license. -The Liberals included mental illness, but as an exclusion that expires next year. Meaning, if it's allowed to expire, MAID will be available for those with mental illness. None of this is compassion. There is no version of these examples, that is medicine. Great work by Kelsi Sheren for continuing to fight for normalcy

Matt Walsh went over black and white crime statistics and the results are actually insane “By raw numbers — that makes black males in America more dangerous than perhaps any other demographic in the the entire world, let alone in this country” - Statistically, a white person is 30 times more likely to be killed by a black person than the other way around - In 2019, there were about 560,000 violent interracial incidents between blacks and whites. 470,000 of them were black on white. That's 85%, 85%…. - 240 black people were killed by whites, 560 white people were killed by blacks - This is all in spite of the fact that white people make up 60% of the population, blacks are 13%. Just by raw numbers, not even per capita, but raw numbers, there are more black interracial killers than white. That should be impossible. There are 171 million more white people in the country, and yet there are more black interracial killers. By raw numbers, the young black males in particular are an order of magnitude more violent and more likely to commit crimes than any other group in the country. Black men are five or 6% of the population. They commit the majority of murders in the country That makes black males in America more dangerous than perhaps any other demographic inthe entire world, let alone in this country.”

REPORT: A group of doctors in Canada now pushing for disabled newborn babies to be euthanized, according to the Daily Mail. Demonic. The Quebec College of Physicians says euthanizing disabled babies "may be an appropriate treatment." "The CMQ reiterates that medical assistance in dying may be an appropriate treatment for babies suffering from extreme pain that cannot be relieved and who have severe malformations or serious polysymptomatic syndromes that destroy any prospect of survival," they told the Daily Mail. "The CMQ believes that parents should have the opportunity to obtain this care for their infant under these well-defined circumstances." Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) is legal in Canada. Patients don't need to be terminally ill to qualify. "In two years, the mentally ill will qualify for MAID, and parliament has recommended granting access to minors," the Daily Mail reported.

‘Assisted Dying’ Committee: Dutch expert reveals the emerging horrors of Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide in his country. Sometimes a short news video clip might not capture the nuance of discussion at Oireachtas Committee hearings. The RTE News coverage of Tuesday's hearing is a case in point. Prof Theo Boer had a lot to say about ‘Assisted Dying’ and Euthanasia in his own country. The big takeaway is that Euthanasia becomes the last resort for people afflicted by loneliness and fear: ‘In the past 20 years, the numbers have quadrupled and… the increase seems to accelerate rather than slow down. In some neighbourhoods assisted deaths account for between 15% and 20% of all deaths.’ ‘The second development we have seen is an expansion of the pathologies - the reasons underlying a request to die … we see a shift to patients who fear years or decades of loneliness, alienation and care dependency… This expansion is motivated - this is important for the committee, as Members of Parliament, to take into account - by a logic of justice, the question as to why euthanasia is provided only for terminal patients, for example?... After all, a person can suffer very much for non-medical reasons as well.’ ‘That is why we have now a law in parliament that legalises Euthanasia for all people over 74 years, with or without an illness…Their age is the only reason they can have 'Assisted Dying'. That in turn is why we now have a regulation that allows parents to request Euthanasia for their young children aged from zero to 11 years old. I am convinced it is only a matter of time before we take the next hurdle, namely, allowing children of dementia patients to request Euthanasia for their demented parents.’ ‘There is a saying that people can live 30 days without eating, three days without drinking, three minutes without oxygen but not three seconds without hope. Sometimes it is the total absence of hope, either in the persons themselves or in their surroundings, that contributes to their suffering.’ For those who are involved in suicide prevention work, or in keeping hope alive for elderly people, or who are committed to caring professions which are built on hope, I recommend you pay attention to these Oireachtas hearings (see Attached is a short clip of my own engagement with Prof Boer at the Committee on Tuesday. To legalise ‘Assisted Dying’ is to hinder hope and drive despair.

After seeing videos of the wildfires in Canada, and witnessing the smoke which is worse than I've ever seen before, I feel like humanity has crossed the Rubicon. I don't have any optimism today. Is there any reason to have any? It's a one day at a time thing for me. The people who deny that we are witnessing ecocide and climate degradation of a magnitude that is "faster than previously expected" have a blindfold on- really too afraid to face reality or climb out of the echo-sphere of denialism.

If such a crime had taken place in any country other than Iran, every news agency in the world, every media outlet, would have covered it extensively, with deep sorrow and outrage, and people would have taken to the streets demanding that those responsible be identified and brought to justice. Tragically, this crime has taken place in Iran at the hands of the Islamic Terrorist Regime a place where, it seems, oil is valued more than the lives of its people. What is reported: According to reports, agents of the regime subjected the lifeless body of #SalehehAkbari to horrific abuse and sent images to her husband, #AkbarKhodaei. Overwhelmed by the trauma and grief, he was unable to endure the pain and took his own life the following day.

On The HighWire, Angelina Ireland, cancer survivor and former president of Delta Hospice Society, delivered a searing exposé of Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) policy, calling it a “predatory regime” that pressures vulnerable Canadians into death. Her story reveals a system that punishes resistance and prioritizes euthanasia over care. Ireland shared how Delta Hospice, a palliative care facility built with $8.5 million in community donations, faced brutal repercussions for refusing MAID. “We were told to start killing our patients or lose funding,” she said. “We refused. Palliative care is about easing suffering, not hastening death.” The Fraser Health Authority responded by cutting $1.5 million in annual funding, canceling a 25-year land lease, evicting the hospice, and seizing its buildings to offer MAID on-site. “They expropriated our facility and turned it into a place for euthanasia,” Ireland said. “This is conquest and compulsion, backed by government-appointed courts.” MAID, legalized in 2016 and expanded in 2021 to include non-terminal conditions, accounted for 4.7% of Canadian deaths in 2023—15,343 cases. Critics like Ireland argue it targets the sick, disabled, and poor, offering death as a solution to inadequate social support. Ireland’s fight continues through an anti-euthanasia film, “The Story of Euthanasia,” which she promotes to expose MAID’s realities. “It’s targeting the vulnerable,” she warned. “We must raise awareness to stop this.” Her HighWire testimony demands accountability: Will Canada prioritize life or expand a system that critics call state-sanctioned death?

Sheen: I was watching Kash Patel—that is astonishing to me. There is no possible way that any of these people at the head of any of the agencies that we have right now would ever make it in any other administration.. And when they look at each other, they don't see anyone on the other side that is better than they are, is more heroic, has more courage. They in a real sense, I suspect they despise each other because there isn't anyone on the other side that is better than they are, and they are looking at the worst reflection of themselves
