A new poll found that 11% of Canadians have either been offered MAiD for a treatable condition or know someone who has been.

The poll also found that Canadians earning less than $100,000 a year 'are more likely to be offered MAiD for a condition they felt was potentially treatable.'

84% of those surveyed said they believe the Canadian healthcare system needs to change.

Miriam Lancaster: 84-year-old Lancaster was offered assisted dying almost immediately after arriving at the emergency room last year for pain. She described being "taken aback" at the suggestion, as she was there to receive treatment, and did not want to die. After recovering from her injury, Lancaster was able to resume activities, including traveling the world.

Father Larry Holland: Father Holland, a Catholic priest in Vancouver, British Columbia, was hospitalized with a broken hip after suffering a fall on Christmas Day in 2025. While in the hospital, he said health care staff offered him euthanasia twice, despite knowing that he is a priest and opposed to euthanasia — and despite the fact that he was not terminally ill or ill at all.

Kristin: Kristin is an Air Force veteran who was diagnosed with Stage IV ovarian cancer while living in Canada. Doctors in Canada told her there were no treatment options that could save her life, and encouraged her to consider MAiD. She repeatedly asked for life-saving interventions, which were refused, so she traveled to the United States for treatment instead. Eventually, she and her husband moved to Texas, where her cancer is in remission, as of September.
