Why even claim something like this when it's objectively not true?
They also lost/didn't store phone records so it's totally possi there are more who can't talk about their experiences because they accepted the offer of MAiD
>We have such news on a ~monthly basis.
Reference required. I follow Canadian news and have not seen such stories.
Disability payments _are_ insultingly low, but we instead want to give a GST holiday and attempt to buy votes for our current government's inevitable loss.
Do you live in Canada??
This is a ridiculous comment - healthcare is broadly available, especially for critical conditions.
This is obviously inappropriate behaviour, but also just as obviously an outlier. And the story you linked here is linked several other times in this thread. If this is happening monthly, there should be many more examples.

But in Ontario, more than three quarters of people euthanized when their death wasn’t imminent required disability support before their death in 2023, according to data from a slideshow presentation by the province’s chief coroner, shared with AP by both a researcher and a doctor on condition of anonymity due to its sensitive nature.
Of people killed when they weren’t terminally ill, nearly 29% lived in the poorest parts of Ontario, compared with 20% of the province’s general population living in the most deprived communities, the data show.
When care becomes killing, we'll have no incentive to save. The weak and the poor are rushed to their gravesconditions meriting euthanasia will also tend to be disabling yes
It's unsurprising to me that someone with few resources and irreversible, painful disability, but lacking an imminent death, would request MAID. I don't see how this is an argument against MAID.
Its being abused in Canada. Its being used as an excuse to get rid of you. You're seen as a burden.
It was originally meant as a way for terminal cancer patients in terrible pain to die but in reality its offered as a way to get rid of you by medical profession.
I'm sorry, but it's not that black and white. Given how much the healthcare system has done for my family (for all the happy and sad things) over here basically for free, making such blanket statements is very disingenuous.
