Though there’s been an apparent drop in #OfficiallyReported #CovidDeaths in #Canada, there has evidently been a big uptick in #ExcessDeaths in 2022 (56,000 excess deaths in Canada to date; with many more anticipated, due to reporting lags).
The Covid19 Resources data is from a site founded by Guillaume Bourque and

This has not just happened in Canada.
