Average life expectancy in Canada: 82.
Average covid death age in Canada: 84.
That should give people some perspective. Virtually all of the "covid deaths" were people who died of old age within two weeks of testing positive for covid.
You know ham i did the math on the period and it appears about 10000 extra deaths occurred in LTC in 2020 due to çovid and dementia. How many were neglected?
Summary
In 2020, an estimated 16,333 excess deaths occurred (observed deaths: 309,912; expected deaths: 293,579) among Canadians.Footnote2 Of the deaths among Canadians aged 65 years and older occurring during this period, 14,140 were coded to COVID-19, representing 87% of all excess deaths.Footnote6 In addition, approximately 90% of COVID-19 related deaths among seniors 65 years and older occurred among individuals with pre-existing chronic conditions, with dementia as the most prevalent comorbidity.Footnote10
Older age and presence of chronic diseases have contributed to excess mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic. The number of COVID-19 attributed deaths do not account for all excess mortality during this period; therefore, other factors such as delays in seeking and accessing treatment and worsening of the overdose crisis have also likely contributed to the excess mortality.Footnote1Footnote11Footnote12

83% of all çovid deaths to Aug 2021 occured in long term care.
It was a genocide of seniors through neglect and bad policy.

Keep in mind, about 15,000 people die in long term care annually under normal circumstances.

Meanwhile 14,000 long term care residents and staff are said to have died of/with covid between March 2020 and August 2021.

Very interesting how close those two numbers are together.
