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):

‘We're coping with it day to day': Regina actor and model dies unexpectedly at age 43
April 10, 2024
A Regina man who died unexpectedly is being remembered for his talents and as a family man. Justin Toto, 43, died of natural causes on March 29, and was laid to rest on Piapot First Nation. Toto gained fame in the 2000’s through the APTN show, Moccasin Flats, a program depicting unban living for Indigenous peoples. He also made appearances in commercials and other spots. His family says he had a well lived life, but it was cut short with things not yet done. “It’s an unexpected, tragic loss to our family,” said Mark Fox, Toto’s uncle. “We never knew Justin would be gone already. It’s a shocker to us, so we’re coping with it day by day.”

Punk drummer Jon Card (Personality Crisis, SNFU, D.O.A.) dead at 63

Jon Card, a Canadian drummer who had stints in many of his country’s best punk bands, has died. Yesterday, one of those bands, Vancouver Legends D.O.A., broke the news of his passing on Instagram. No cause of death has been reported. Card was 63. He was born in Zweibrücken, Germany, where his father was stationed in the Royal Canadian Air Force, and he grew up in Calgary. After playing in punk and metal bands in his teenage years, Card joined the cult-favorite Winnipeg punk band Personality Crisis and played on their 1983 LP, Creatures. After that band broke up, Card joined Edmonton’s SNFU in time to play on their 1986 classic If You Swear, You’ll Catch No Fish. He left that band shortly after finishing the record, but he returned to its lineup several times over the years.

I used to go through these posts often in the beginning, I haven’t in over a year and the ages are striking. More and more younger people...I always this would happen but it doesn’t lessen the shock of actually seeing it.
The research is also daunting and heartbreaking. Some days I'm so emotionally drained doing it. But it must be done, I tell myself because I want justice and I want people to wake up, and praying for an antidote.
