MORTALITY STATISTICS
What’s the Deal?
Canada’s mortality statistics tell only part of the story. Abortion is not included in official mortality statistics, while MAiD deaths are generally recorded according to the underlying medical condition rather than MAiD itself. This means significant numbers of deaths are missing from the picture when we look at how Canadians are dying. The way we track deaths influences what we prioritize as individuals and a society.
Why does this matter? Canadians are not being shown the true scale of abortion and MAiD and there is a serious lack of investment in real support for life-giving alternatives.
Canadians may not realize how many people in their lives are suffering from the grief of abortion or MAiD.

MAiD & MENTAL HEALTH
What’s the Deal?
On March 17, 2027, Canada is scheduled to expand the Medical Assistance in Dying program to include people whose sole underlying condition is mental illness.
This means someone suffering from depression would receive suicide assistance rather than suicide prevention.
MPs Tamara Jansen and Andrew Lawton have proposed Bill C-218, which would prevent this expansion. The bill is currently before the House of Commons with the second reading vote expected on October 7, 2026.
Why does it matter? An expansion like this presents serious concerns around the vulnerability of people with mental illness, including their ability to consent or be coerced into receiving MAiD. Mental illness can bring profound suffering, but recovery is possible. As Canada considers expanding eligibility for assisted suicide, we need to ask how we can better support people toward treatment, community and hope.

LATE-TERM ABORTIONS
BORN ALIVE
What’s the Deal?
Late term abortion is real in Canada. Alissa Golob proved that through her undercover videos that show not only is late-term abortion happening at any time, any reason, no questions asked, no alternative support offered - they are disguising late-term abortions as stillbirths in the official data.
But what happens when a late-term abortion is unsuccessful and the baby lives?
Data from the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and CIHI indicate this is happening but what happens next?
How many babies are being left on a table to die cold and alone?
Even one is too many. This should outrage all Canadians and yet it’s hardly discussed in the public discourse.
Why does this matter? These are not simply statistics. They represent real lives who have value even if they were “unwanted”. Canadians have been led to believe late-term abortion (after 20 weeks) is extremely rare but the data and Alissa Golob’s undercover work prove otherwise. This is a conversation Canada should be having.
