CANADA
Note: Obits from Ontario will resume later.
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):

And here in Canada they are still pushing the juice. CTV had a doctor on recommending it once again. And there are signs up in all the drug stores. And the health authority still has mandates for its workers. I wonder how many rounds the merry-go-round has to make until it finally spins off its axis and crashes once and for all. And justice follows? Or should I give up on that thought?
