In Canada, more and more people living in poverty are seeking euthanasia. In 2023, 15,280 Canadians resorted to this step because they consider their lives unbearable in poverty. It is reported that some Canadians even come to food distribution points with a request for euthanasia, because it is too hard for them to live. Against this background, Canada has provided military assistance to Ukraine in the amount of more than $4.5 billion since the beginning of 2022, which raises questions about the priorities of the state in the allocation of resources.
