Doing some research on excess deaths here and I don't see it. Ya ya the hand waving from covidiots claim we're seeing excess deaths but the data isn't showing it. Or, I'm not seeing it.
Ontario is saying excess deaths have increased 13%. https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/study-finds-nearly-13-per-cent-increase-in-excess-deaths-in-ontario-during-covid-19-pandemic-1.5434985

>Excess Mortality During the COVID-19 Pandemic Period is Evident in Ontario Cremation Records Ontario cremation records demonstrate that there was an increase in mortality in 2020, with an overall 12.8% increase in the number of cremations per week compared to baseline data (the average annual cremations seen in 2017, 2018, 2019 cremation data). https://covid19-sciencetable.ca/sciencebrief/excess-mortality-in-ontario-during-the-covid-19-pandemic/
However, when I try to find the data, I'm not seeing it. Take a look at this odd graph; it excludes 2020 and predicts up to 2024. https://www.statista.com/statistics/916310/cremation-rate-in-canada/ The last year on there is 2019 (year analysis surveyed) but look at the percentage 72.1%. So, let's take a look at some historical data...
>Canada’s rate of cremation – 68.8 percent in 2015 and 2014 – continues to be much higher than in the United States, reflecting a trend that has been true since the early 1960s. In 2015, every Canadian province bordering the United States recorded a cremation percentage rate of more than 61 percent, except for tiny Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick, on Canada’s East Coast. CANA projects that Canada’s cremation rate will be 74.2 percent in 2020. https://www.cremationassociation.org/news/news.asp?id=302852&hhSearchTerms="cremation+and+rise"
Looks like we're right on course and no pandemic. But there's more. The years 2014-2016 had a large increase in mortality but here's a break down: 2014 - 2015 = 5.18% 2016 - 2017 = 4.63% 2017 -2018 = 3.47% 2018 - 2019 = 1.3% 2019 - 2020 = 4.47% https://www.statista.com/statistics/443061/number-of-deaths-in-canada/
Did we have a pandemic in 2014? But here's the question I can't find an answer to. How many cremations occurred in Ontario in that time period? Akin to climate pseudoscience, they like to cherry pick data and ignore historical trends. If Canada had a larger death rate in 2014, then it would be safe to say cremation/burial was also higher than today.
Can anyone dig and find the actual numbers for Ontario? It's crucial to nail that down and show there is no change in Canada's death rate other than the expected linear trends with a growing and aging population.
