More on how Quebec is going to lead Canada in the right-to-die debate: 77 percent of the people in that province support legalizing euthanasia, according to a recent Angus Reid poll and this Montreal Gazette article.
Over the years, polls have consistently shown that across the country support for assisted suicide is about 70 percent. Two years ago, 84 percent of people in Quebec were in favour of assisted suicide and it would be interesting to see what that number would be today. I suspect that using the term “euthanasia” instead of “assisted suicide” generates very different results.
