Canada’s healthcare crisis has entered a new and disturbing phase as the Liberal government funnels a billion dollars to fund care in foreign nations while Canadians at home are being euthanized because they cannot get the treatment they need to survive.
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s latest move, pledging over a billion Canadian dollars to fund healthcare overseas, has become the tipping point for many who have watched Canada’s single-payer system crumble for years.
The announcement landed as the country continues to face a wave of avoidable deaths, including cases where desperate citizens are offered Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) instead of the care they were promised.
As Slay News previously reported, the failings of the nation’s socialized healthcare system have been exposed as a brutal reality as Canadians with chronic pain, neurological disorders, severe disabilities, or late-stage illnesses are increasingly being euthanized by the government’s MAiD program.
However, they are not “choosing” euthanasia because they want to die, but because they cannot endure the years-long wait times for specialists, surgeries, or basic life-saving procedures.
Some have explicitly said they only chose MAiD because they couldn’t access treatment, couldn’t afford private alternatives, and had nowhere else to turn.
Yet, while this system collapses at home, the government is sending mountains of cash abroad.
Canadian podcaster John Bolton summed up the outrage many are feeling.
He warned that “tens of thousands of your fellow Canadians are dying every year and nobody is discussing this,” calling the system “inefficient” and ruinously expensive.
He blasted Carney for giving “$1 billion for health care in Africa to developing nations” while Canadians freeze in food lines or die in hospital corridors waiting for surgeries that never come.
Bolton highlighted reporting that Canadian taxpayers are now on the hook for more than a billion dollars after Carney pledged major funding to a global health initiative ahead of the G20 summit.
