Author Larry Correia works out that, thanks to medically assisted suicide, Canada now has half our suicide numbers even though we have nine times their population: 22k at 40MM population for them, 50k at 348MM population for us.
This goes with the math that shows that, if unborn Americans count as Americans, abortion is by far the leading cause of death in the USA. If you let people kill each other for convenience, it turns out that people find it very convenient.
From various things I've read it appears to me the main party finding it convenient to kill people in Canada is the Canadian "healthcare" system, aka the Canadian government.
Once the taxpayer becomes a tax burden, the government has little incentive to encourage continued burdening. "Rare and only for those in serious pain and terminal," quickly becomes, "for the indigent or costly."
It's a cultural shift as we become less Godly. When my father had his stroke that eventually led to his decline, the hospital had a nurse who was the specialist to talk to you about palliative care. We were still thinking about recovery at that point. She was quite attractive, but really creeped me out with how hard she pushed for death preparations- I started referring to her as "the angel of death". The medical industry is full of these people now.
In 2023, the USA had 19,428 gun homicides. Canada has 16,000 medically assisted suicides, again at 1/9th our population. Their killed-by-their-own-government problem is bigger than the gun homicide problem that they like to chide America about.
