A trove of documents from the liberal Canadian government has revealed that federal officials have been covering up efforts to secretly euthanize military veterans.
2,220 pages of documents obtained via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request reveal that federal bureaucrats from Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) have been pushing suffering service members into the nation’s taxpayer-funded euthanasia program.
Unsurprisingly, VAC, the federal department that is supposed to be in charge of helping Canadian veterans, has been scrambling to block the release of the documents exposing the scheme.
The documents contain several reports regarding complaints that VAC caseworkers have been trying to railroad veterans into the government’s taxpayer-funded Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program.
The records, obtained by Canadian outlet Rebel News, show that VAC chose to use verbal updates when speaking to senior staff rather than written ones.
The decision seemingly sought to prevent the creation of a paper trail related to allegations that department caseworkers were pushing veterans into “assisted suicide” instead of offering them full treatment.
The documents and their contents come after several veterans came forward saying that their caseworkers told them they should apply for MAiD.
The majority of the veterans were dealing with acute post-traumatic stress disorder.
However, rather than offer the vets a long and costly treatment, the Canadian government’s socialized healthcare system is pushing for euthanasia as a more cost-effective solution.
It comes after the government was forced to delay plans to begin euthanizing members of the general public suffering from mental illnesses.
Again, the government sought to elevate the burden of long-term mental on the healthcare system by promoting MAiD.
As Slay News reported, however, the government was forced to delay the plan following an uprising from doctors who refused to euthanize otherwise healthy patients due to mental illness.
The original delay in expanding MAiD for those suffering solely from mental illness came after numerous public scandals surrounding the deadly program.
Among the scandals was the surfacing of reports that Canadian veterans were being pressured into killing themselves by workers at VAC.
WATCH:
VAC Minister Lawrence MacAulay claimed at the time that there was only one caseworker who was responsible for the MAiD scandal.
However, the newly released batch of documents proves that this is not the case.
According to Rebel News’s reporting of the documents:
“On page 21, we can see in the media lines that Veterans Affairs officials were planning to claim there were no other incidents of Veterans Affairs staff telling veterans to kill themselves.
“They had to remove that from their talking points because other veterans came forward.”
VAC staff tried to deny the allegations by claiming the other cases were only incidents in which veterans were inquiring about whether MAiD would prevent them from getting benefits after their death, as is the case in suicide.
A quote from page 31 reads:
“Veterans may approach VAC following their decision to pursue medical assistance in dying.
“In those cases, Veterans Affairs helps the veteran and the family understand their benefits as well as other sports services that may be relevant to the veteran’s unique circumstances.”
On page 679, real evidence of a “cover-up” begins to show itself.
Red flags emerge in records showing VAC media staff saying that only verbal updates should be issued:
“Recommendation to keep the updates verbally to a limited distribution but will follow DMO 0SD’s preferred format and frequency.”
The documents also show VAC staff scrambling to cover up media coverage about veterans being pushed into MAiD.
Page 2,125 reads: “Hello all, it’s interesting to follow the thrice-daily media report emails to see how far the main story is traveling.
“Yesterday, it was reported by a couple of US news outlets, and today, it is in the UK Daily Mail.”
“It is interesting to see how much coverage it’s getting,” the VAC staff added.
“I had wondered if there would be anyone else to come out of the woodwork to say it had happened to them too but so far nothing (thankfully).”
Euthanasia first became legal in Canada in 2016.
The laws were changed to supposedly offer a last-resort option for those suffering from terminal illness.
Since then, however, the laws have been massively expanded.
The eligibility criteria has been loosened to allow the chronically ill, not just the terminally ill, to qualify for death.
People who suffer from depression, poverty, or even hearing problems are now being euthanized by the government.
The program has now been opened up to “mature minors” with some pushing for the laws to include young children and infants.
Desiring to expand the procedure to even more Canadians, liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government sought to expand “assisted suicide” to those suffering solely from mental illness.
However, in February, after pushback from pro-life, medical, and mental health groups as well as most of Canada’s provinces, the federal government delayed the mental illness expansion until 2027.
The number of Canadians killed by lethal injection since 2016 stands at close to 65,000.
An estimated 16,000 people were killed by euthanasia in 2023 alone.
Many fear that, because the official statistics are manipulated, the number may be even higher.
