Saskatchewan files injunction against Trudeau gov’t over carbon tax dispute
From LifeSiteNews
Saskatchewan’s Justice Minister Bronwyn Eyre confirmed Thursday that the province has filed a court injunction to try and stop Canada’s tax agency from seizing its bank account because it has refused to collect an ever-increasing carbon tax instituted by the Liberal government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
In a video update on Thursday posted to X, Eyre, who services as both justice minister and attorney general for Saskatchewan, confirmed that the Trudeau government is “sending the Canada Revenue Agency after the Province’s bank account” over Premier Scott Moe’s refusal to collect the carbon tax on home heating.
Eyre noted that because the “Saskatchewan government was providing the same carbon tax relief here that the federal government was giving to other Canadians,” the Trudeau government is “threatening us again with their favorite move when someone disagrees with them.”
“They’re sending the Canada Revenue Agency after the Province’s bank account. That’s what they’re doing,” she said. “And the reason they’re doing this is because we are providing Saskatchewan residents with the exact same carbon tax exemption as Trudeau is giving other Canadians.”
As reported before by LifeSiteNews, in October of last year, amid dismal polling numbers that showed his government would be defeated in a landslide by the Conservative Party come the next election, Trudeau announced he was pausing the collection of the carbon tax on home heating oil for three years.
While it was a welcomed move by many, home heating oil is almost exclusively used in Atlantic Canada, meaning the tax break really only applied to certain citizens, namely the 24 seats in Atlantic Canada currently held by the Liberals.
Going a step further, Trudeau refused to offer a similar carbon tax relief to those who heat their homes with natural gas, the main product used in provinces such as Alberta and Saskatchewan. This led to Moe announcing his government would take matters into its own hands by pausing the collection of the federal carbon tax on natural gas for home heating, a policy which took effect on January 1, 2024.
Moe has continued to state that his policy is one of fairness, arguing that now citizens of Saskatchewan, like in Atlantic Canada, do not have to pay carbon tax on home heating bills.
In the Thursday video, Eyre said that it is “unconstitutional” to go after a province’s bank account as “section 126 of Canada’s constitution does not allow the federal government to grab money from a province’s bank account.”
“So today, the province of Saskatchewan has filed an injunction to try to stop this unfair and unconstitutional cash grab by the Trudeau government,” she noted.
Eyre added that when it comes to the issue of not collecting the carbon tax, it’s “about fairness and the fair application of the law.”
“The Trudeau-NDP carbon tax should be taken off everything for everyone,” she said. “But until that happens, your Saskatchewan government will protect our province and ensure tax fairness for Saskatchewan families.”
The Trudeau government has not only denied tax exemptions, it has remained adamant that it will continue increasing the carbon tax rate.
On April 1, the Trudeau government increased the carbon tax from $65 to $85 per tonne despite seven of 10 provincial premiers objecting to the increase, and 70 percent of Canadians saying they are against it.
To reach Trudeau’s goal of net zero by 2050, the carbon tax would have to balloon to $350 per tonne.
It’s More Horrifying Than Anyone Will Admit
There is no dignity in a society that sees the suffering and chooses to eliminate the sufferer instead of the suffering.
Canada finally released its 2024 MAiD (state sanctioned murder) report, shockingly quiet so people wouldn’t see it. Right after the budget, and right before Christmas. A late-November drop, as if 16,499 state-sanctioned murders were an administrative side note instead of a national alarm bell, one that should be absolutely terrifying Canadians. That number is a almost a 7% increase!!! from the year prior. Euthanasia now accounts for 5.1% of all deaths in the country. Let that sit for a minute. More than one out of every twenty deaths in Canada is no longer natural, accidental, or medical it’s chosen, coerced, approved, and facilitated by the state.
Now the most disturbing trend isn’t the overall rise. It’s the massive increase in Track 2 deaths, these are people who were NOT AT ALL terminally ill. Those deaths rose by 17%.

Track 2 is MAiD’s (state sanctioned murder) quiet backdoor, one that almost anyone can access. People who aren’t dying, but are suffering, disabled, lonely, financially struggling, or simply worn down by a system that failed to care for them. The government likes to use sterile language “grievous and irremediable condition” but it refuses to define it. That ambiguity isn’t an accident. It’s policy. It’s how they kill people without justification.
The numbers don’t lie, even when the government tries to hide them. Since legalization, Canada has recorded 76,475 deaths by MAiD up to the end of 2024. Realistically, by today we’re closing in on 92,000.
That’s the population of a mid-sized city. Gone.
92,000 human beings. Gone, before their time all because CAMAP (Canadian Association of MAiD Assessors and Providers) convinced people who were suffering they were too damn weak to try.
Quebec leads the country with 5,998 deaths in 2024. Ontario follows with 4,944, then British Columbia at 2,997. Even these numbers don’t match what provincial reports say. Quebec claims 6,058. BC says 3,000. Why the discrepancy? No one seems eager to answer.
When the data moves faster than the government’s honesty, you know something’s off and something been off for a minute now.
Track 2 deaths have always been the canary in the coal mine, yet no ones seems to care unless it’s one of their family members. Those not tied to terminal illness hit 732 cases in 2024. In 2021 there were 224. The curve isn’t just rising; it’s accelerating at a pace that will destroy a country.
And who are these people?
They’re younger. They’re more often women. They’re overwhelmingly people living with disabilities. They are Canadians who needed support and instead got a syringe. More than 61% of Track 2 deaths were people living with disabilities. Yet many disabled Canadians don’t even identify as disabled on paper. So the real number? Higher. Much higher.
Every major reason listed for choosing MAiD (state sanctioned murder) loss of independence, loss of mobility, inability to participate in meaningful activities is directly tied to disability or chronic health issues. When your supports are stripped, “choice” becomes a fiction.
The “other” category, is where any sort of accountability goes to die in this country along with our souls. The most suspicious data point continues to grow unnoticed. The “other” category is over 46% of disabled Track 1 deaths and 56% of disabled Track 2 deaths are filed under “other.”
What’s in “other”?
Organ failure. Autoimmune disease. Frailty. Chronic pain. Diabetes. Mental disorders.
In any honest system, these would not be “miscellaneous.” In Canada’s system, they are conveniently undefined so nothing can be challenged.
People choosing Track 2 death are more likely to be poor, living in struggling neighbourhoods, in institutions and on disability. This isn’t compassion. It’s triage disguised as mercy. When life becomes unaffordable, MAiD (state sanctioned murder) becomes the “cheap solution.”
One of the leading causes of this choice to die is loneliness….this part should haunt every Canadian with a conscience. The report tries to downplay loneliness as a factor, but the numbers betray reality:
21.9% of Track 1 deaths
44.7% of Track 2 deaths
…were tied single handedly to loneliness and isolation.
That’s at least 3,800 people in 2024 who died because they were alone.
But anyone who’s worked with veterans, trauma survivors, or the disabled knows the truth loneliness is wildly underreported. People list their medical condition to qualify. But loneliness and despair? That’s the gasoline soaking everything underneath.
Track 2 recipients were three times more likely to be receiving mental health or social service support compared to Track 1. The mental illness “safeguards”? They’re paper-thin.
The government wants us to believe MAiD (state sanctioned murder) is about dignity. But dignity is a human experience, not a checkbox. Dignity requires connection, support, purpose, safety. None of those can be injected into a vein.
MAiD (state sanctioned murder) was sold as a last resort for the dying. It is now an early exit for the neglected. There is no integrity in a system where people choose death because life became bureaucratically inconvenient. There is no compassion in telling a disabled person the waitlist for care is years but death is available next Tuesday. There is no dignity in a society that sees the suffering and chooses to eliminate the sufferer instead of the suffering.
Parliament is currently debating Bill C-218, which would stop the expansion of MAiD for mental illness. Given what the data shows, mental illness is already driving many Track 2 deaths, even though it isn’t technically allowed on its own.
Canada is no longer drifting, its fully submerged in the dark and this is something that can’t be undone once normalized. MAiD (state sanctioned murder) is no longer a rare compassionate exception. It is becoming a cultural default for people society doesn’t know how to support.
If we don’t reverse this slide now, we’ll look back and wonder how we ever confused convenience with compassion. This system isn’t mercy. It’s abandonment dressed up as policy.
The conversation needs to get louder, not gentler and I plan to make it so loud the pro death cult’s ears bleed.

Internal documents from Ontario doctors in 2024 that revealed Canadians are choosing euthanasia because of poverty and loneliness, not as a result of an alleged terminal illness.
Death by doctor-assisted lethal injection, under the title Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), now accounts for over 5 percent of all deaths in Canada.
In November, Health Canada published the Sixth Annual Report on Medical Assistance in Dying, which tracked the expansion of euthanasia in 2024, with 16,499 Canadians receiving MAiD, amounting to 5.1 percent of the total deaths in Canada.
“The Government of Canada will continue its work to help ensure that the legislation on MAiD reflects the needs of people in Canada, protects those who may be vulnerable, and supports autonomy and freedom of choice,” the report asserts.
Health Canada noted that MAiD is not considered a cause of death by the World Health Organization and, therefore, “the number of MAiD provisions should not be compared to cause of death statistics in Canada in order to determine the prevalence (the proportion of all decedents) nor to rank MAiD as a cause of death.”
However, the government agency did admit that 16,499 people received MAiD in 2024, which amounted to 5.1 percent of “people in Canada who died.”
The report noted that that was “a small (0.4%) increase from 2023,” adding that “this percentage may change with final counts of deaths in Canada from Statistics Canada.”
Notably, the year-over-year increase was 6.9 percent, a significant slowdown from prior years, such as the 36.8 percent increase from 2019–2020. Health Canada suggested that MAiD provisions are beginning to “stabilize,” though long-term trends require more years of data.
According to the data, 95.6 percent of the deaths were Track 1, meaning those whose death was foreseeable, compared to only 4.4 percent being Track 2 requests, which end the lives of those who are not terminally ill but have lost the will to live due to their having chronic health problems.
“Although Track 2 provisions represented 4.4% of MAiD cases in 2024, they represented close to a quarter (24.2%) of all MAiD requests that were assessed as ineligible,” the report stated.
At the same time, internal documents from Ontario doctors in 2024 that revealed Canadians are choosing euthanasia because of poverty and loneliness, not as a result of an alleged terminal illness.
The report further revealed that 63.6 percent of the Canadians who were euthanized reported cancer as their underlying medical condition.
Currently, wait times to receive genuine health care in Canada have increased to an average of 27.7 weeks, leading some Canadians to despair and opt for assisted suicide instead of waiting for medical aid. At the same time, sick and elderly Canadians who have refused to end their lives have reported being called “selfish” by their providers.
Meanwhile, the Liberal government has worked to expand euthanasia 13-fold since it was legalized, making it the fastest growing euthanasia program in the world.
The most recent reports show that euthanasia is the sixth highest cause of death in Canada; however, it was not listed as such in Statistics Canada’s top 10 leading causes of death from 2019 to 2022.
Asked why it was left off the list, the agency said that it records the illnesses that led Canadians to choose to end their lives via euthanasia, not the actual cause of death, as the primary cause of death.
