Its worldwide too, not just a random alberta only or canada only or one country not recording data.
In the U.S. alone, nearly 20% of the population is affected. On average, 25 to 50 million documented influenza cases, 225,000 hospitalizations, and ultimately more than 20,000 deaths occur every year.
CDC is refusing to post the weekly data for the flu in America this year, but you can find data for set periods on various news sites, usually as a curiousity and with a large dose of propaganda about hand washing, face masks, lockdowns, etc working on that respiratory virus but not working on covid in any way in a helping of doublethink for the masses. CDC for last year said "38 million illnesses, 18 million medical visits, 405,000 hospitalizations, and 22,000 deaths" related to influenza A and B. Vox had one such article like this and showed a graph with data from CDC for up to January showing virtually no cases when there should be 100,000 or more by that point.
What is also left out is that they havent stopped testing either - they are testing 3x more than usual in most countries and still coming up short. I dont know the exact testing procedure or if they changed the standards or not. I just know they are testing more in Canada and still coming up with none. Is it just counting the PCR test as negative for influenza a and b or are they doing the full bloodwork? This is all related to lab confirmed influenza, too. These numbers arent someone sick at home with "the flu" like when you were a child.

Canada used to report on the numbers, but people were noticing things, so they changed the data to say lower than avg numbers. Not just CDC hiding the data.
