Killing Them 'Softly' With This Song (And Dance)
Canada counseled over five percent of all deaths last year, a rise from the year before, but only a starting point for years to come
Governments have been killing their own people for their own advantage since there have been “governments” (see also: Kane and Able). From criminals to inconvenient truth tellers, power has a way of wanting to protect its own ass, so when the proglodytes started directing their abundance of “empathy” and “compassion” toward the chronically ill, everyone’s alarm bells ought ot have started blaring.
It’s the same compassion that destroyed black families, exacerbated crime, drug use, snipped off the genitals of healthy children (after making them mentally ill), cost women sports scholarships and got more than a few of them raped, and turned far too many of them into single, angry, wine-drinking cat moms.
When a Democrat starts working their compassion ray, things break, and people die, so euthanasia, assisted suicide, assisted dying, medically assisted suicide, was just a line waiting to be crossed.
The government can’t teach a kid (they want to mind-f#@! and neuter) to read for 20K+ a year, so what could go wrong with this? Well, there’s Canada. Its government is full of proglodytes who dragged their populace down this particular compassion hole years ago, and it’s killing them. In the year of our Lord, 2024, over five percent of all deaths in the Great White North were a product of that nation’s internal liquidation campaign. They call it MAiD—medical assistance in dying. There are coloring books for kids to normalize it. The Government’s health service counsels an increasing number of people who could live longer, happier lives to consider it, especially the handicapped and people with expensive medical conditions.[Related: Gov.

As predicted, the doctors and counselors gifted with the power to grant medically-assisted death have focused on convincing their marks that they are a burden.
48.5% of all those who died by euthanasia cited being a “perceived burden on family, friends or caregivers”. Among those whose natural death was not reasonably foreseeable (Track 2), over half (50.3%) were concerned about being a burden.
Additionally, 58.1% of those who died by euthanasia in Canada in 2024 cited emotional “distress/anxiety/fear/existential suffering”, a 19.8 percentage point increase on the number of people who cited this end-of-life concern in 2023.
Two important points that add context. These are the same Proglodytes who, for decades, have been diminishing the value of family. This leaves individuals, even in less than complex life circumstances, alone or nearly so. Circumstances that are often created or exacerbated by the political class. The one that told them they didn’t need a spouse or children- that it would care for them. The government that made housing difficult to afford, jobs hard to find, and living so expensive that long-COVID or COVID-19 vaccine injuries (which they gave them as well) might create enough misery to make them pliable enough to consider MAiD.
I’ve covered the MAiD-related organ harvesting issue at length, so I won’t revisit it here, but it’s a real problem, particularly when combined with the burden argument. Regardless of what the law may say, we know this is happening. You’re miserable and a burden, but you could do something extraordinary on your way out the door.
In Canada, euthanasia and assisted suicide are permitted under two separate Tracks, 1 and 2, where the former includes people whose deaths were “reasonably foreseeable”, and the latter includes people whose deaths were not “reasonably foreseeable”.
The total number of people who died by euthanasia under Track 2 increased by 17.12% from 625 in 2023 to 732 in 2024.
There were a total of 732 Track 2 deaths by euthanasia, and these deaths included diabetes, frailty, autoimmune conditions and chronic pain among some of the most commonly cited underlying medical conditions. 56.7% of Track 2 deaths were female compared to 43.3% male.
Of those who died by euthanasia and who responded to the question about whether they self-identified as having a disability (16,104 of the 16,499, 97%), 61.5% of those whose deaths were not reasonably foreseeable self-identified as having a disability, compared to just 31.6% of those whose deaths were reasonably foreseeable.
It’s a lot like socialism. Proponents are dismissive of its past failures, promising to be different kinds of human beings than the ones that failed, but with whom they identify in every other way that matters.
If you don’t have it (legalized medical suicide or euthanasia), don’t get it. It’s a disease that spreads until it becomes the go-to problem solver for everything that ails the government that created most of the problems it’ll use as an excuse to end you.

Correction: The original subheading suggested Canada counseled the death of over five percent of its citizens when over five percent of all deaths (in 2024) were the result of MAiD. It has been rewritten.
