Canada Govt Eliminates Disability Ministry While Expanding Access to Assisted Suicide Nationwide

23.07.2025

In a troubling move that has sparked fresh outrage among advocates for life, the Canadian government has quietly dissolved its ministry for persons with disabilities—just as its euthanasia program continues expanding to include vulnerable groups. The position, once held by Kamal Khera, was quietly absorbed into broader portfolios, leaving no dedicated cabinet voice for the 8 million Canadians who live with disabilities.

This decision lands at a critical moment. Under Canada’s current medical assistance in dying (MAID) law, euthanasia is available not only to the terminally ill but also to those with non-life-threatening disabilities. Advocates argue this sends a chilling message: that disability alone can qualify a person for state-sanctioned death.

The removal of a dedicated disabilities ministry seems to confirm what many feared—support systems are being overshadowed by policies that quietly encourage exit rather than care. Even the United Nations has urged Canada to reverse course, citing “ableist perceptions” that devalue the lives of disabled people.

It’s a tragic paradox: while technological portfolios like Artificial Intelligence gain their own ministries, real human lives—fragile, irreplaceable lives—are being shuffled to the margins. The absence of a focused government role for disability issues is more than oversight—it’s abandonment.

At a time when dignity and support should be elevated, the Canadian Govt seems to prefer offering lethal injection in lieu of compassion. The pro-life message remains firm: every life has value, and no disability should be a death sentence. Canada must be called back to its conscience, before more lives are quietly erased.
