Globe and Mail column urges Catholic hospitals to offer euthanasia or exit

LifeSite·7 October 2026

A Globe and Mail opinion column by Andre Picard on 6 October argues that Canada's 129 Catholic hospitals should provide medical assistance in dying and other contested procedures or leave healthcare. The piece, reported by a pro-life commentator, shows pressure growing to remove conscience protections from faith-based institutions. If adopted as policy, it would push institutions that hold to the sanctity of life to choose between their convictions and their place in public medicine.
