    This episode was originally published on 11/1/25 as a bonus episode only available to our paid subscribers. Consider upgrading to a paid subscriber to view episodes like this when they are first published and access all of our additional bonus content. In this episode, we dive deeper into the bizarre (and possibly demonic) Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program of our northern neighbor, Canada. Socialized medicine ain’t good, folks. Beware doctors and bureaucrats who want to “help” you die. 00:00 — Intro. Introducing MAiD: “Good morning, Canadian citizen! How are you feeling today?” (Careful how you answer this) 03:33 — What does it mean for socialized health care to “economize” when deciding how much care to provide near the end? Are “death panels” a thing? 08:02 — What is the history of the MAiD program in Canada? How many people die under MAiD? How is the program being expanded — and to children? 20:54 — We react to a video describing some grizzly details of the MAiD program. Are doctors and bureaucrats encouraging deaths to increase organ harvesting? And if so, does that change the WAY these deaths are caused? 39:52 — Outro. Thank you for supporting Haman Nature!
