Your numbers aren’t rates per population. Hence there may be some credibility.
The issue is that MAID has only recently become available. You should expect there to be a number of sufferors who would have used it sooner had it been available i.e. it isn’t a steady state and shouldn’t be compared to one.
That makes an interesting point. As I recall Canada as a whole had roughly the population of California about 40-50M? The USA has somewhere upwards of 300M total, so to be comparable Canada would have to be multiplied several times over.
Still, the fact that it’s pre-planned with proper checks and approvals puts it in a whole separate class from murder and crisis desicion suicide in the USA where comparison is pretty pointless anyhow.
