Federally funded pro-euthenasia podcast barely receives attention after four years
A federally funded euthenasia advocacy podcast has low viewers and subscribers four years after receiving nearly $300,000 from the feds.
The federal government pumped nearly $300,000 into a social worker-led podcast to open dialogue around euthanasia. Despite having the grant for over four years, the podcast has only garnered about 50 to 300 views per episode and has just over 70 subscribers.
The federally funded Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council awarded $289,226 to a Lakehead University research project titled Disrupting Death; An examination of Canadian Experiences with Medical Assistance in Dying, according to the podcast’s website.
Canadian armed forces combat veteran and anti-euthanasia advocate Kelsi Sheren highlighted the podcast in a recent post on X, claiming the grant was designed to “combat” her own show, which exposes and argues against Canada’s assisted death industry.
