Canadas number one killer is assisted suicide if you look it up sadly so yes I understand why it’s not the best example but they don’t want to suffer so it’s their choice unfortunately

Oh I don't even mean that. I mean the more recent news that the Canadian government has been pushing doctors (especially the ones in their version of the VA) to basically tell people it's the only treatment option, because its cheaper to kill someone than it is to treat them.

It’s so disgusting. That story made me speechless and totally scared to do anything like that here. This country is already twice as nuts as Canada, what are the chances this won’t be abused?

Yes I have heard about that and it’s tragic veterans shouldn’t have to do that they need therapy and trauma help

In a perfect world, most people would die by assisted suicide, right? Comfortable and in control of their own lives. I get what you're saying but that's not an inherently scary statistic.
