Universal Healthcare vs USA Healthcare
Canadian health care continues to perform poorly compared to other countries

Canadian Grandmother Was Euthanized Without Her Consent
An 83-year-old Canadian grandmother was euthanized under the country’s Medical Assistance in Dying program on July 10, 2026, despite having previously declined it because of her Christian faith and without providing what her family describes as a final verbal confirmation of consent.
Brigitte Stegemann, known lovingly to her family as “GG,” died by lethal injection at The Pearl (formerly E.J. McQuigge Lodge), a long-term care facility in Belleville, Ontario, where she had lived for the previous two years.
She had been diagnosed with untreatable Stage IV stomach cancer about five months earlier.
