Why was euthanasia medical assistance in dying (MAiD) up 41% in Alberta between 2021/2022 when the other prairie provinces were only up 6% in Sask and [down] 9% in Manitoba? Notley’s continued NDP influence over Alberta Health Services??

No reason to suspect personal politics.
I know a person that probably had 15 more years of life at a minimum, but because they felt “down”, MAiD was offered and the option was taken about a month ago. We were shocked to say the least.
No reason at all other than it was available.
Are there any stats on ethnicity, of those who succumb to the MAiD?
Alberta Hospital: “What party did you vote for”
Patient: “NDP”
Alberta Hospital: “We can help you die!!”
See, not so bad.
Except, the type likely to vote NDP is offered all kinds of medical interventions to help with their various neurosis. MAID is offered to people more likely to vote the other way, veterans with ptsd, working stiffs with the bills piling up and the wife yelling at him, and the like.
Quebec is up 55%! I have always advocated for a federally subsidized euthanasia program for the Fwenchies.
Only good one is a dead one…
I’ve probably said this here before. I bet every hospital in the country has a VP of MAID. If they don’t get the numbers every year they don’t get their bonus, hence……..
The Government Will Kill You Now
They can try…
… beacause the health system, government, is fill with NDP, Lib busy bodies.
When healthcare and especially end of life healthcare is a huge cost to the Provincial treasury, what better way to control costs than by killing off people who cost too much money.
Remember people: Not a death cult.
As noted in the meme, this is a projection. And by whom?
statistics go to 2021. That year Sk 1/4890 Mb 1/5702 Ab 1 in 7619 & Canada 1 in 3939

As for “Notley’s continued NDP influence” when they haven’t been the government since 2019….
The governments’ want to make room for all the new voters they are importing.
Let’s face it, Canadians always want their government to Do Something.
As suicide nullifies your life insurance payout. The life insurance company’s must love this as they collected all those premium’s without having to pay out anything.
Get this – my sister (at 84 years old) not in good health decided to go the MAID route. I don’t judge why, she had her reasons. She wanted to have the “procedure on February 2nd as our parents both died that day 20 years apart. But….she tested positive for COVID the day and they would not do it. I was flabbergasted.
What a joke, idiots abound.
Have a friend with fourth stage cancer, and said friend is exploring MAID for when the pain (already chronic) becomes unbearable. Understand, but hope never be in that position myself.
Proponents of MAID would have you believe that – without this – everyone was dying in agony. Not true – attended a couple of deathbeds where family members just quietly left us. However, it is also untrue that people with serious pain from – for instance – cancer were left to die in agony. For many years, there has been a protocol for providing sufficient pain control to allow the terminal patient and family to have some last good times together. Should the meds required for sufficient pain control be such as to cause death, that was just how it was.
I tend to agree. We might be seeing the bureaucracy reporting that which was happening more frequently than we might have known previously.
The Canadian population is aging and in Alberta both older and younger (new Canadians).
In Quebec the population is aging and they seem, from the whole covid old-age home fiasco, fine with sending pappy and grandma off to their final reward.
