The Dark Reality Behind Canada’s Euthanasia Laws
With Allan and Corri Hunsperger · Guest: Jonathon Van Maren
Canada’s MAID program is expanding fast—and Jonathon Van Maren explains what’s really happening beneath the surface. He points to cases raising serious ethical questions, and how shifts in language and policy are reshaping how euthanasia is understood in the country. Van Maren also looks at the influence of government-funded activist groups, growing international concern over Canada’s direction, and increasing pressure on Christian voices. At its core, this is about how quickly a society can change—and what happens when fewer people are willing to push back.
