bad angle shot here:

>Assisted dying now accounts for one in 20 Canada deaths

>While the number of assisted deaths in Canada is growing, the country still falls behind the Netherlands, where euthanasia accounted for around 5% of total deaths last year.

1/20 != 5% ???



Perhaps it's something like 4.8% in Canada and something like 5.1% in the Netherlands? But yeah, that sentence doesn't make much sense.


I'm sure this is exactly the case. Assuming it is, then it's either so close it's not worth reporting on or so close it's worth reporting on accurately


The first sentence of the article gives the Canadian percentage as 4.7%.
