A note from our lead Canada researcher:
As high as it is—higher even than the toll in Italy, although Canada has a much smaller population—the weekly toll that we have been recording in these compilations is much lower than it ought to be, due to the terseness of obituaries from some of Canada’s highly multicultural populations. The death notices from those communities are less detailed than those from the general population.
There is a similar void of information in our northern regions. It is extremely difficult to find death notices of any kind for those communities, whose rate of “sudden deaths” may well be hidden. What all this means, in short, is that the true rate of “sudden deaths” in Canada is probably much higher–perhaps five times higher–than the quite high rate that we’ve recorded here.
A note on suicides:
Suicides by young people are up 22% during the pandemic in Canada and 17 other countries (and it’s why we’re including suicides in our compilations):

After that he took his new lease on life and lived what his family fondly remembers as “the best five years of his life.” In September 2022, a routine checkup revealed that the treatment Ron received during his first battle had resulted in a new form of cancer that would eventually be diagnosed as MDS. This one would require a stem cell donor, and while the donor bank found someone with a 100% match and the graft took, complications led to a 78-day stay in the hospital before Ron and the family decided together that it was time to let Ron’s body rest and for him to join his mother and brother in heaven. Ron was also passionate about building safe and secure shelters for those living on the margins in El Salvador.

Thomas John Beckley, 72
August 29, 2023
Waterloo - One of the few advantages of dying from cancer is that you get the time to write your own obituary. (The other advantages are no longer bothering with sunscreen and no longer worrying about your cholesterol). At the age of 55, we purchased our business, Scott’s Industrial & Farm Supplies Inc., and moved full-time to our summer home in Southampton. Working alongside my wife and our beloved employees has been a pinnacle experience. I was given the gift of life and now I have to give it back. This is hard. But I was a lucky, lucky man, who led a great existence, and for this I am most grateful. When I got sick in July 2021, and the cancer was terminal, I decided to be joyful about having had a full life, rather than sad about having to die. Amazingly, this outlook worked for me. (Well, you know, most of the time). The wisdom of seventy-plus years helped me accept what I could not change. At any rate, I am at peace. And on that upbeat note, I take my mortal leave of this rollicking, revolving world – this sun, that moon, that walk along the shore, that trail in the woods, the memory of a child’s hand in mine.

Brendan was welcomed into this world on December 26, 1984, and his beautiful soul left us too soon on September 13, 2023, at the age of 38.

With the clarity of Brendan’s renowned child psychologist, Brendan was initially diagnosed with autism and then more specifically Asperger’s Syndrome. Medical science trailed Brendan’s development, however, over time, societal inclusiveness advanced to embrace individuals like Brendan and we learned to accept his differences and challenges and embrace him as neuro-atypical with special cognitive gifts.
