False Claims: Just about everything in this video

The popular YouTube channel Triggernometry gave Kelsi Sheren a platform to make dozens of false and misleading claims about MAiD to an audience of more than three hundred viewers. These included claims about MAiD medications, exploding lungs, organ donation, mental illness, palliative care, government financial incentives, and the legal safeguards surrounding assisted dying. Throughout the interview, these extraordinary claims were met with little or no meaningful questioning or fact-checking by the hosts.

Many of the claims made during the interview had already been publicly debunked or contradicted by readily available evidence, yet the hosts seemed unable to question them.

The result is a discussion that leaves viewers with a profoundly inaccurate understanding of how MAiD works in Canada. Rather than address one or two isolated errors here, we examined the interview claim by claim on our Substack page, comparing Sheren's statements with the available evidence and the actual law, policies, and clinical practice.
