On February 6, 2024, after obtaining the euthanasia data from Alberta, Ontario and Québec I published an article stating that there were approximately 15,300 euthanasia (MAiD) deaths in Canada in 2023.

On July 8, 2024 I published an article with links to the euthanasia data from Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Ontario and Québec. Once again I predicted that there were about 15,300 euthanasia deaths in 2023.

On December 11, 2024, Canada’s Ministry of Health released the Fifth Annual Report on Medical Assistance in Dying which indicates that there were 15,343 reported euthanasia deaths representing 4.7% of all deaths in 2023.

Why did Canada’s Ministry of Health wait until December 2024 to release the 2023 euthanasia data when the report essentially concerns numbers and data while lacking information on the actual reason for people wanting to be killed by euthanasia?
