Sometime this spring, Canada passed an estimated **103,000 Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) deaths** since legalization—and almost nobody noticed.Health Canada's official reports currently run nearly a year behind. The 103,000 figure comes from the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, which compiled the latest official provincial data released across Canada. In this episode, I walk through that methodology, compare Canada's 2016 MAID law with New York's 2026 law line by line, and examine what Canada's experience may mean as more U.S. states debate similar legislation.New York's law is scheduled to take effect next month. Illinois follows on September 12. Massachusetts is expected to vote by July 31. Seventeen U.S. states introduced or debated medical aid-in-dying legislation this year, and roughly one in three Americans already lives in a state where some form of physician-assisted dying is authorized.I also share what happened behind the scenes during my conversation with Tucker Carlson—and why I believe this debate is only beginning.CHAPTERS0:00 — 103,000: the number few people heard about1:00 — Why this channel tracks the data1:20 — Canada's 2025 numbers, province by province2:45 — Canada's 2016 law vs. New York's 2026 law8:00 — Promises vs. outcomes10:00 — A word from our sponsors10:30 — Inside the room with Tucker Carlson15:00 — Who's counting?
