Congrats to Quebec!!!! Our sisters and brothers to the north, the ones with the inexplicable french accents are shattering records and claiming the title of highest euthanasia rate in the world.

To be fair, China wasn’t self reporting their numbers so it’s impossible to know for sure but hey, the province of Quebec is technically reporting the highest euthanasia rate in the world.

That means the elderly and sick are being offed efficiently. And you thought socialist governments don’t do anything efficiently. They do! They kill.

Well, technically, this isn’t killing. Except it totally is. It’s catching someone on a bad day and encouraging them to choose death. Hey look, you can be a burden to your children and grandchildren and make them go broke while caring for you or….YOU CAN DIE!!!

On October 30, the Quebec 2024–2025 Report of the Commission on End-of-Life Care revealed that deaths by Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) have reached 7.4 percent of the total provincial deaths and have increased 9% since last year.

The commission reported that 50 percent of the MAiD requests were from those who felt they were a burden to family, friends, or caregivers. Twenty-four percent of those killed cited loneliness and isolation as reasons to end their lives.

Think about this. Hey Artie, I hear you’re lonely. So I guess I could drop by and see ya’ now and again and maybe watch the game with you or…hey I got an idea…you could just take these pills I’m leaving on your nightstand and put an end to it.

This part was the killer for me. The report found an alarmingly short period of time between MAiD requests and doctors administering the lethal drugs. According to the report, 4 percent of requests for MAiD were fulfilled on the same or next day.

The same or next day!!!!??? I can’t get a doctor’s appointment for a month but you can get death pills same day service?

Anyway, it’s good to see Quebec gaining an identity. Good for them. There’s no truth to the rumor that the Grim Reaper will be named the city’s mascot.

How much you wanna’ bet, these numbers go up next year? And the year after?

Getting old is scary and can be painful. But there’s things we can learn from the experience. We can learn to ask for help. We can learn the humility of having loved ones care for us. And others can learn to help. But instead of loving and caring for one another we prescribe a death pill. That’s so 21st century, isn’t it?
