MAID To Order: More Canadians Choosing Assisted Death Every Year

MAID To Order: More Canadians Choosing Assisted Death Every Year

2024-07-18
Download

Has someone close to you chosen a medically-assisted death? The total number of Canadians requesting MAID rises 30% or so every year, accounting for just over 4% of all deaths in Canada in 2022. While concerns remain - including implications for people living with mental health challenges, severe disabilities, or in extreme poverty - MAID appears to be accepted by the general public as a relatively uncontroversial end of life decision. Is it? We get into it with National Post columnist Tristin Hopper in this episode of Real Talk. 

0:45 | But first...what do vaccines have to do with a family doctor shortage across the country? Probably nothing...but Ryan's noticing a trend in the responses to our July 17 episode with Alberta Medical Association president Dr. Paul Parks.

9:20 | Did you catch our show about workplace fatalities in Canada? Real Talker Erin writes in with just a few examples of unsafe scenarios she's encountered on the job.

TELL US YOUR STORY: talk@ryanjespersen.com 

16:15 | National Post commentator Tristin Hopper talks MAID, Canada's family doc crunch, Trump's attempted assassination (and his VP pick JD Vance), metric vs. imperial, and his obsession with estate sales in Victoria, B.C.

1:05:11 | Do you know a post-secondary student in Canada who's lost a parent to cancer? They could qualify to receive financial assistance from the Real Talk Julie Rohr Scholarship. Application deadline is August 1.
