The biggest horror of the situation is that many disabled but otherwise healthy people are ending up in the MAID system because of the extreme cost of living in Canada that the disability support system has made no attempt to keep up with.

Vancouver and Toronto are both on the top 10 most unaffordable cities on Earth, and it's literally killing people.

It is horrible if people are forced into MAID because of monetary issues, but that should obviously be addressed by improving their financial support, not by taking away the option of MAID.

That's not happening because MAID is much cheaper. That's the way it is in my part of Europe anyway.
