We touched on the 'success' of Canada's Medical Assistance In Dying (MAID) program when we talked about MN legislators looking to pass assisted suicide legislation in the state.
So Nate Erskine-Smith, MP from Beaches-East York, took to Twitter/X to crow about how 'successful' the program is.
The sky hasn’t fallen. The slope isn’t slippery.

Medical assistance in dying has been an overwhelming success in Canada.
It has enhanced freedom, reduced suffering, and provided a dignified death to thousands of people in need.

Death has 'enhanced freedom'? Are you serious right now?
Let's remind you of some of the 'freedom' that comes from MAID:
Using it for homelessness, drug addiction, and anorexia.
Offering it to Canadian military veterans.
And our personal favorite: A quarter of Canadians think MAID can be used for the poor.
So much success. So much enhanced freedom.
Go broke in Canada, and they'll euthanize you like an animal.
50,000 people murdered. Overwhelming success. Good grief.

50,000 people murdered.
Dude, MAID growing at 30% yearly. 2023 it will likely be 3rd biggest cause of death in Canada after cancer & heart.
— Adam Sinai (@Adam_Sinai) January 30, 2024
If success you mean killing Canadians, it’s roaring. pic.twitter.com/KmLqRLi0cw
Third cause of death after cancer and heart disease.
SUCCESS!
Weird. It seems to me that MAID is an easy way to not treat people. Someone I know has chronic pain & depression. He can’t get seen anywhere in a reasonable timeframe, but he’s received lots of govt sponsored ads to off himself via MAID. It’s disgusting.
— Kate (@kateinva) January 31, 2024
It's a money saving program, one that will kill you for perfectly treatable things like pain and depression, or temporary situations like poverty and homelessness.
It's evil.
An MP in the Gov't that jails people for improper speech describes that same Gov't killing the handicapped, the mentally ill - and coming soon, kids as young as 12! as "freedom." This is a moral abyss, this is monstrous, this is evil. https://t.co/1as80z7jqy
— Joanne Mason (@JoanneMason11) January 31, 2024
Monstrous and evil are almost too kind.
And yes, this guy says the government killing people is 'freedom' while jailing people for speech, freezing bank accounts of protesters.
The irony is not lost on us.
That is the sky falling. You next https://t.co/pzFJdgIh6E

The sky is falling.
But we're guessing the good MP prescribes to the 'just enough of me, way too many of you' mentality. MAID is for other people, not him.
“Look, we’ve implemented a state-run murder project that’s already killed a number of people under suspicious circumstances, what’s the big deal???

The metrics are great by the way., not that you asked.” https://t.co/p678LGiY5c
Watch: they'll brag about reducing poverty, homelessness, mental health and costs of Canada's socialist medicine system. They just won't report that those reductions came from killing the poor and ill.
I’m not against assisted suicide in cases where patients are terminal and suffering. What MAiD is doing goes beyond that. That you can’t see that is precisely the problem. https://t.co/va3wCuFWBL
— Heather B (@BoulwareH2) January 31, 2024
And it always, invariably, goes beyond that.
This is a lie on multiple accounts.
— Fr Matthew P. Schneider, LC (@FrMatthewLC) January 31, 2024
1. It was promoted as assisted suicide, but under 1% are assisted suicide: it's usually the doctor killing the patient (euthanasia).
2. It was promoted as just for the very end of life, but now it is being offered for much broader categories,… https://t.co/1zYICnmNqd
All they do is lie.

Wheeee!
This feller is enjoying the power of being able to implement this way to much https://t.co/n2WBocd6Qv
— Andrew Donaldson (@four4thefire) January 31, 2024
Yes, he is.
Yes it is an overwhelming success, in that Canada has gotten rid of quite a lot of pesky burdens on the medical system taking up their money through "free" healthcare. https://t.co/LWcmUPfxmJ

'Free' healthcare is never free.

Gets our vote.
Even Goebbels would probably tell him to tap the brakes, honestly.

Stalin might never have actually said that, but this tweet just did.#cdnpoli #AssistedSuicide https://t.co/Hw2p3Vic4W
Yes it did. It's bragging about it.
To be clear - the slope isn't slippery because you are at the bottom of the slope.
— Upstate Federalist (@upstatefederlst) January 31, 2024
You are celebrating that suicide is becoming the leading cause of death in the country.
You called it Maid. https://t.co/Lw2cIaIDDk
He'll never fall victim to the policies he forces on others.
Golden boy liberal portrays MAID as an “overwhelming success” and an “enhanced freedom.”
— Robert Stevenson (@FreeWheelinRob) January 31, 2024
Meanwhile 13,000 Canadians were euthanized last year, taken before their time, a 31% increase from 2022. Quite the enhanced freedom you’ve found, Nate. https://t.co/JZuzuxKGYU
It's also an indictment of Canada's healthcare system, honestly, if they can't treat people for cancer and other illnesses. But let's socialize medicine here, too.

Pretty much how it's playing out.
This is all so dark and sad to me. Folks, your life matters. It matters to the One who fashioned you and breathed life into you, and it matters to the world around you. If you were placed here, there's a purpose for your life. You're more than numbers and statistics. Much more. https://t.co/FYzmJbf4Cu
— Jennifer Erin Valent (@JenniferEValent) January 31, 2024
So much more. And life is too fleeting as it is. We don't need MAID to hasten the process.
