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):

Thunder-Bay - It is with the saddest of hearts that we share the passing of our loving husband and father, Peter Michael Grant on April 4th, 2023. Peter left this world surrounded by the love of his family after a year-long battle with cancer. The only thing that beat fishing and hunting was his family. He relished his role as a dad and every moment spent with his children on the phone or in person made him happy and he was so proud of all they had achieved. Being their dad was the best thing in his life and nothing filled him with more pride. He loved all his kids; the two he was given and the two his children gifted him with. Donations in Peter’s memory can be made to the Northern Cancer Fund.

Having had a great many hurdles in life including a motorcycle accident that would leave both her and Randy with injuries that would cause both great physical pain thereafter, she would face this new and final one with the same strength, courage and hope that she always did. From the moment of her diagnosis, husband, Randy would be her primary caregiver in everyway possible.

My son’s barely 60 year old teacher died suddenly over the weekend here in BC. She was having a minor nasal surgery and apparently developed an infection. It is a total shock and so suspicious. She was an avid skier and cyclist and a beautiful human being. Her nearly 100 year old father died recently in her home and she is survived by her mother (nearly 100 as well and she also cared for her in her home) and 4 children. She should’ve lived to nearly 100 as well.
This school has lost two teachers since the vax roll out. The other was 40 and died home alone from a migraine brain blood clot--never showed up for work!!!
