Canada Will Expand MAID For Mental Illness In 2027

On March 17, 2027, Canada is scheduled to expand MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying) to individuals whose sole underlying condition is mental illness.

Many Canadians believe the issue has been postponed or abandoned. It hasn't. The federal government delayed implementation, but the current timeline remains in place.

In this episode, Kelsi examines:

→ Canada's planned 2027 MAID expansion

→ MAID and mental illness eligibility

→ The meaning of "treatment resistant" mental illness

→ Why critics believe vulnerable Canadians could be placed at risk

→ Alternative approaches to mental health treatment

→ Alberta's Bill 18 and the growing national debate

As a combat veteran who has lived with PTSD, TBI, and depression, Kelsi offers her perspective on mental health, recovery, and why many Canadians remain concerned about the future of MAID policy.
