This has majority support in Canada, so it's not going to be controversial.

As this forum's resident pollster, I can confirm this. It's not just a majority, but an overwhelming (surprising, even) majority. This is fairly uncontroversial. The only people who are opposing it are pro-life nutjobs* (and I'm not talking about anti-abortion people here) and people who don't think the bill goes far enough (and are opposing it out of spite).

* From anecdotal evidence, these people come from across the spectrum, kind of like the anti-vaxxer crowd.

How is it a nutjob position to have reservations about allowing government to dictate under what circumstances ending your life is okay or not?


It's not.
