We recently received the 2025 fourth quarter Ontario euthanasia report from the Office of the Chief Coroner of Ontario.
The report stated that in Ontario there were 5303 reported euthanasia deaths in 2025 which was up from 4944 in 2024, which represented a 7.2% increase. This was up from 4641 euthanasia deaths in 2023 which represented a 6.5% increase that year.
This indicates that the growth in euthanasia deaths is increasing, not stabilizing.
The report indicated that all Ontario MAiD deaths, in 2025, were clinician administered (euthanasia). In jurisdictions that legalize both euthanasia and assisted suicide, nearly all of the deaths are euthanasia.
Since Ontario represents 39% of Canada’s population I conservatively predict that the number of euthanasia deaths in Canada increased by 7% in 2025.
Health Canada released the Sixth Annual Report on Medical Assistance in Dying in Canada on November 28, 2025.
The 2024 report stated that there were 16,499 reported (MAiD) Canadian euthanasia deaths which was up by 6.9% from 15,427 in 2023.
I conservatively estimate that there were approximately 17,650 Canadian euthanasia deaths in 2025.
According to Health Canada, from legalization until December 31, 2024 there were 76,475 Canadian MAiD deaths. Based on my prediction that there were about 17,650 euthanasia deaths in 2025, I predict that there were around 94,125 MAiD deaths in Canada from legalization until December 31, 2025.
I predict that Canada will surpass 100,000 euthanasia sometime in mid – late April 2026.
