Canadian living in Canada. There is some floral language written here but the article is exposing an issue that is relatively new and coming to the forefront. I read a more nuanced article on the ethical issues (particularly, the Canadian context this article brings out) but don't have a link handy. From my recent interactions, Canada's health care system seems to be failing for the elderly and young+disabled. Cost of living has skyrocketed in the key populated areas (GTA and GVA) and people have more of a FOMO/me-first attitude in all aspects of life. The gripe on health care is not just about waiting times. It is administers kicking patients out, threatening with private charges (Ontario Bill C7 that this article references but does not explain to someone unfamiliar), neglect in healthcare and step down facilities. I am relatively young and can recognize this is not how I want to go. The trend that could emerge is exactly what the article describes .. if life gets too hard, just end it. This is not what Canada used to be. Govt waste is monumental and services ever dwindling. The key political leaders seem to be espousing positions that pander particular viewpoints but don't actually get things better again. We need a Canadian-version of the Trump slogan - Make Canada Care Again!
