Today 11 March is the National Day of Mourning for all the Canadian victims of the Pandemic, some 22,000 Canadians died from Covid 19 in one year. Half of those victims lived in the province of Quebec, something I still do not understand.
All flags were at half-mast and Radio-Canada had a lovely music program this evening in memory of our dead. We remain very fortunate in PEI with no hospitalizations and no deaths.

My first thought was surprise ‘only 22,000’?

Well given that we are 38 million Canadians, it is a small number BUT 50% of those are in Quebec alone, that is shocking and difficult to explain or understand.

I am curious to know. Did thems in Q refuse recommendations like the republicans do here? Is Q like Texas? Or maybe it has something to do with discrimination viz information etc didn’t go to Q? Maybe just bad luck? What are the thoughts.

In Quebec like in Ontario (the 2 most populous provinces) deaths occurred in Long Term Care Homes at epidemic levels, most are private entities, but there was a great deal of basic health violations. The second reason is the amount of people in Quebec who buy into the conspiracy Qanon nonsense, its scary. Politicians also do not help, to often pushing the button of we are different and to things are way, leading to confusion and distrust. On the other hand in Ontario with Conservative premier Doug Ford, its gross incompetence, business es first before people’s health. Quebec also has a conservative gov.
