You’re paying to kill your neighbours.

I’ve had some time since the election to really sit with what just happened and honestly, I’m still dumbfounded by the collective decision made by those who voted Liberal. But instead of just stewing in disbelief, I wanted to dig deeper and confront what we’re truly seeing here.

Canada feels like it’s trapped in a bizarre, decade-long abusive relationship with its own government, a toxic cycle reminiscent of Stockholm syndrome. Since Canadians once again chose to re-elect a Liberal government, it’s important that we tell everyone know what they just co-signed.

Most of you reading my work already know my mission: exposing uncomfortable truths and confronting the issues plaguing Canada and the world. Right now and for the foreseeable future my focus is the disturbing expansion of the pro death movement and MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying). This issue hit’s close to home for many reasons, and I thought you’d all like to know where a decent amount of your hard earned money is going. Even if you’re someone who believes in MAiD, you owe it to yourself to understand what’s really happening isn’t some beautiful thing, this isn’t compassion.

It’s commodification.

Do you honestly think the government would let something like a recession interfere with one of its most profitable industries? Death is recession proof. Death is profitable and in Canada, death is generously funded with YOUR tax dollars. We’ve been conditioned to look away, convinced this is about dignity, compassion, and personal choice. Canada is the “free people society” where we can have anything! but peel back the layers, and you’ll find something so dark, so sinister and anything but compassion. A slick government-funded death industry propped up by grants, lobbyists, and carefully sanitized bureaucratic language.

It’s singular purpose?

Normalizing and expanding state-sanctioned death.

Yes, killing.

As a form of healthcare.

KILLING.

Let’s look at the MAiD industrial complex and where your money really goes and who is actually profiting from it.

Dying With Dignity Canada (DWDC)

Far from grassroots, this influential pro-euthanasia, pro death, pro giving up group received $204,655 in 2021 and $222,077 in 2020 directly from the government, your tax money. Nearly half a million dollars funnelled into lobbying and advocacy aimed at expanding death.

Not for mental health

Not for supportive housing

Not for palliative care

Just straight propaganda convincing Canadians they should die.

Canadian Association of MAiD Assessors & Providers (CAMAP)

The Liberal government handed CAMAP $3.3 million to develop MAiD training programs. Sit on this one for a second. MILLIONS spent to build a pipeline of “providers” incentivized to say “yes” to killing. Healthcare has become an industry not unlike the military industrial complex but designed as “healthcare” Geared to maximize profit by scaling up the practice of killing. More killers, more deaths, more efficiency—and yes, horrifyingly, more profit.

MAiDHouse …..yes a whole building. 2 actually. 1 in Victoria BC and 1 in Toronto. Yes, this exists. A supposed “charity,” explicitly established in 2019 to facilitate KILLING. No hospice care, no healing programs just a carefully crafted, boutique environment dedicated entirely to death, financed by your money.

Imagine for a minute if even a fraction of these millions went toward genuine solutions, mental health resources, veteran support, trauma recovery, or housing initiatives.

Think about how many lives could have been transformed or saved. But there’s no profit in healing, is there? Here’s what Canadians who just don’t understand, your taxes actively fund organizations dedicated to facilitating death over life for vulnerable populations. Are you aware that while you or loved ones struggle to access timely mental health care, taxpayer-funded organizations actively present death as the quicker alternative?

Do you know they’re expanding MAiD for mental illness only in 2027 and lobbying to include eligibility to “mature” minors … these are your children.

This isn’t conspiracy, it’s our reality. It’s Canada’s quietly expanding euthanasia empire, thriving because of YOUR taxes. If I were you. I’d start asking why is accessing euthanasia easier than getting trauma therapy?

Why are we fast-tracking death while mental health care remains underfunded and inaccessible? Why are millions spent training killers instead of investing in supportive housing, poverty reduction, or hospice care? WHY!!! do we call it “dying with dignity” when people often choose death out of poverty, neglect, and untreated emotional pain?

Here’s the real answer.

HEALING IS COSTLY.

Allowing or encouraging them to die is cheap.

This isn’t about “personal dignity” or compassion. It’s calculated hopelessness. It’s about quietly removing individuals deemed too expensive or burdensome, all disguised as mercy and compassion.

It’s state-approved despair, neatly packaged for public acceptance. You’re being sold a narrative carefully crafted to feel compassionate, supported by so-called charities, and bankrolled by you, the good, nice taxpayer.

WAKE UP.

You’re funding a death cult, maybe not by choice, but definitely by default. Here’s the thing, in my coaching practice I learned quickly that once you become aware of a behaviour you now have the chance to change something.

I’ve now made you, the readers aware of what your funding

What are you going to do about it?

Demand that your tax dollars fund life, not death. Start asking the hard questions. Demand accountability. Demand transparency. Follow your money.

Because if we remain silent, the next expansion might target someone you love.

Or worse, it will be you.
