What is the leading cause of death in Canada? The answer might surprise you. The biggest threat to life in Canada is responsible for 30% percent of deaths in the nation. The leading cause of death in Canada is preventable and yet so pervasive.
10 out of 10 people die. Death is inevitable. 270, 000 Canadians die every year. Every day, over 700 Canadians die. Every day, thousands of people dial 911. Every day, paramedics rush to save lives. Every day, doctors and nurses receive thousands of new patients. Every day, family and friends gather to mourn loved ones.
According to Statistics Canada, the fifth leading cause of death in Canada is lung disease. Asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia and other types of lung disease kill 12, 000 Canadians a year.
The fourth leading cause of death in Canada is accidental deaths. Car accidents, drowning, falls and other accidents kill 13, 000 Canadians a year.
The third leading cause of death in Canada is stroke. Blood clots and hemorrhages produce 14, 000 deadly strokes a year in Canada.
The second leading cause of death in Canada is heart disease. Diabetes, high blood pressure, heart attacks cause heart diseases that kill 50, 000 Canadians a year.
According to Statistics Canada, the leading cause of deaths in Canada is cancer. Breast cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer, and other types of cancer kill 80, 000 Canadians a year.
But that is a lie. The math is wrong. Statistics Canada is overlooking some of the data. Lung disease isn’t the fifth leading cause of death in Canada, it’s the sixth. Cancer isn’t the leading cause of death in the nation, it’s the second. The leading cause of death in Canada kills 300 people a day. It kills a 100, 000 people a year. The leading cause of death in Canada is abortion.
370, 000 Canadians die a year—100,000 of them die from abortion. 30% of deaths in Canada are caused by abortions. Canadians are more likely to die from abortion than car accidents and cancer. 1 in 4 women in Canada will have an abortion. 4 million women in Canada will have an abortion in their lifetime.
Every year, 100,000 babies in Canada are ripped apart, limb-by-limb, from their mother’s womb. Abortion is the most grotesque and widespread human rights violation of our time. Its the leading cause of death in Canada and America. And that won’t change unless Christians like you and me become the leading cause for it’s abolition.
