StatsCan: The Walking Dead

Wuhan Flu 95 Comments

Reader “Ward”, via email;

I’ve been visiting the statscan site looking to see when they would update additional weeks after week 38 on the total weekly deaths
 
https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/71-607-x/71-607-x2020017-eng.htm
 
So today it looks as if they have updated it and added additional weeks up to week 42.
 
But they have also gone back and changed all of the 2020 weekly data back from week 1 through 38 as well.
 
That seems odd to me that they would be revising data that far back – and that it is all increases. How do so many deaths apparently go unreported?
 
I would think that deaths are one thing that can be largely tracked in almost real time as death certificates have to be created, perhaps a small lag but it does not make sense that additional deaths would be found.
 
Cause of death might be revised, but death is death.
 
And its not just a few – its an additional 9,630 deaths that were not in the table back on Dec 7 when I initially took the data from the statscan site.
 
Strikes me as odd, but certainly beneficial in terms of validating the pandemic based on additional deaths.

These revisions may have a perfectly reasonable explanation. There may also be a perfectly unreasonable one.

    1. If you read the footnotes, which they don’t make easy to find, I had to do a site search for “3-10-0768-01” (the table) in order to find the footnotes, they state that for privacy concerns they increment the deaths to the nearest 5. As if a particular district that reports a low number would enable people to determine just who it was that died, like they don’t report that sort of thing in the newspaper.

      In addition, there are multiple footnotes cautioning that these are preliminary numbers subject to revision months or years later and certain deaths are excluded from the data. In other words, these authoritative numbers are not at all authoritative.

      1. It is either accurate or not, if they have better numbers, than this is the inaccurate version. Only additional deaths, no subtraction is odd and unlikely. Inevitably things get counted twice and then corrected.

  2. Yes, just as Stats Canada can erase 100 years of environmental data because it conflicts with their narrative based climate models upon which they base their CO2 tax, they can adjust COVID statistics upward to support the dictatorial lock down so that the sheep will comply. All governments lie – it is a feature, not a bug. Anything to protect the bureaucracy.

  4. These statistics were collected and correlated by a liberal compromised bureaucracy. Nuff said.

  6. 1850-1949 Mackenna”s crew lowered the high temperatures in the past so our recent temperatures looked like they were climbing!!!!! This fraudulent process was made to validate their global warming hypothesis .
    Check out Goldstein’s report!!
    More covid death’s Kate would validate more lock downs????? Possibly

    WHY???

    1. The Great Reset needs small business destroyed and people broke and desperate.
      The Cabal can control a 1000 multinational corps, but cannot control millions of small businesses.

      1. Bob Daye.

        Sir, can you know how absolutely right you are!?
        I owned a small business in the financial sector for nearly 40 years. At about the 1/2 way mark it became clear that, while I could withstand everything the markets threw at me, regulation would most likely kill me off. Thankfully, seeing the writing on the wall, so clearly, so far ahead, I made sure that I would achieve financial independence before the death knell rang, and could therefore voluntarily exit the business when the burden became unbearable.

        Once, I attended a talk by an internationally known expert on the subject. During a break I approached him and asked him if he felt that regulators would rather have as few as possible regulatees to supervise so they could maybe have a few lunches a year to cover the field. He was shocked by my intuition and unequivocally CONFIRMED it.

  7. We need people to have a healthy skepticism of the political process. What we have is too much trust in media, in public figures and government and a severe lack of critical thinking or the desire to learn.

    1. And that, Codex is stating it in the most mild TERMS possible,

      People in this country have been literally BRAINWashed since birth by Mother CBC, the originator of “Social Engineering”. All bowing down to mother MSM…with Karens and KEvins appearing on masse out of their Basement woodwork. KAPO’s the lot.

      This so called pandemic was PLANNED (Rothschilds – Rockefellers – Davos gang et all), and is still in its early execution stage. Anyone thinking otherwise needs to have their cranium scanned for grey matter. Everything points to it.

      A genetically altered bug, “stolen” via CHiCom Agents from our Level 4 Lab after being created in Ft Dietrich…..and on and on and on.
      A virus that is tested for by a process that has ZERO ability to detect infection or viral load. The trashing on purpose of any potential re-purposed drug so as to make their “miracle vaccine” the only way “out”.
      A vaccine cOnJUred up in a mere 9 months, using untested genetic manipulation tech and one that managed to get approval to forgo Animal testing…?? When has that EVER happened…..??
      A Vaccine praised via every available MSM, & Dr Fauci ..along with every compromised Politician / Govt Health official in the Western Hemisphere.

      But hey, no Nanites right..?? No microchips right..? No sterilization components.? How the FK would any of us actually KNOW. hmmmm.?

      WELL, if you fully believe the MSM/Govt Propaganda and that this is all to do about a supposed natural BAT virus that came out of live market…you DAMNED Well need your head examined.

      I see the Govt of Ab (their website), stated: Between Dec 21-26 some 8000 Cases. Which i am going to assume took likely some 16,000+ tests to achieve. Now I have SERIOUS Doubts that ANYONE was getting tested on Christmas Eve, Christmas or Boxing Day. Tests which have to be done VIA APPOINTMENT only…..

      16000 folks in 3 days eh..?
      uhuh….I don’t even think the NKVD would try this kind of utter BS.

      1. Actually it is about 80,000 tests to come up with 8,000 positives. You doubt 16,000? Try on 80,000. The government and their news media fluffers lie to us constantly. They steal also. And they wonder why there are so many skeptics.

  8. There is way too much government at every level in this country (Canada).

    There should be specific areas of responsibility, and these should be clearly delineated.

    No pet projects or social engineering.

  9. “ These revisions may have a perfectly reasonable explanation. There may also be a perfectly unreasonable one.”

    Gee, I wonder which one the SDA faithful will impulsively and unwaveringly glom on to?

    1. If there is a perfectly reasonable explanation, that would have been good to include in a footnote. Since they did change stats around the temperature, I would not be surprised if they are manipulating things here as well. There was that John Hopkins study which discovered no overall increase in deaths in the US. They may wish to avoid a similar embarrassment. Something fishy for sure.

      1. “If there is a perfectly reasonable explanation, that would have been good to include in a footnote.”

        They did. Just click on the Data tab at the top of the interactive tool, and follow the link to the StatCan data table from which the tool’s numbers are drawn. The footnotes are right there — the most relevant being #3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 13, and 14.

        Updating previous months’ and years’ death counts as vital stats records are received from the provinces and territories (P/T) is standard practice for all StatCan administrative datasets that rely on P/T data collection and reporting. Anyone who actually works with these data on even a casual basis would be aware of this. “Ward”, on the other hand, seems to have started with a ideologically motivated conclusion in mind, which coloured his interpretation at each point of his own spreadsheet analysis. It’s no surprise that the SDA faithful — Ward, Kate, you, etc. — would rather believe the “perfectly unreasonable” explanation for most things (this StatCan thing, COVID-19 in general, the results of the US presidential election, etc.), but that’s mostly because you’re always allowing your anti-government prejudices to outweigh your rational faculties. Case in point…

        “There was that John Hopkins study which discovered no overall increase in deaths in the US.”

        That “John Hopkins study” wasn’t actually a rigorous piece of scientific research, it was a crude and methodologically limited analysis for a webinar that was more broadly publicized—and ultimately retracted—by a John Hopkins student-run newspaper:

        – http://www.jhunewsletter.com/article/2020/11/a-closer-look-at-u-s-deaths-due-to-covid-19
        – http://www.jhunewsletter.com/article/2020/12/public-health-experts-and-biostatisticians-weigh-in-on-covid-19-deaths-a-look-at-u-s-data-webinar

        Intellectual honesty would tell you to engage with these counter-arguments and rigorously re-assess Dr. Briand’s analysis at a technical level in light of these challenges. Or, you can go around mindlessly repeating/insisting that a John Hopkins “study” did in fact discover no overall increase in deaths in the US, whils pretending not to know what you now know.

        Your call, LindaL.

        1. Ward: Speaking of intellectual honesty, what is you opinion of the methodology that Stats Can has used to estimate the number of deaths caused by people contracting the China virus? This is mine:

          Statistics Canada’s methodology is fundamentally flawed; it has, by design, an upward bias in the China virus death estimates.

          Stats Can assumes that all of the additional deaths this year compared to last are because of the China virus. In other words, Stats Can assumes everything this year compared to last year is the same, except for the China virus. But that is not true. Starting in March this year, in anticipation for a huge wave of China virus patients requiring hospitalization (which never happened), the health care system essentially stopped treating most other health problems. For example, heart surgeries and cancer treatments were cancelled. Canadians died because of this and those deaths are included in Stats Can’s estimate of China virus deaths

          1. My apologies to Ward. I meant to address Lance, not Ward, with my question on the methodology used by Stats Can in its study.

          2. Odd, on that “cancellation” of cancer treatments. Mine re-commenced 3rd week of February, 2020 after an extended break. The treatment centre was operating all along, when I showed up. Plenty of familiar faces receiving treatment. Not even a hiccup since. I even had surgery too, as well as one other individual I know, while COVID “outbreaks” were ongoing upstairs, later on.
            Don’t believe everything you read or see from the MSM.

          3. To PO’ed In Alberta: you are fortunate not to be in Ontario. There have been a fair number of reports in the Ontario media about surgeries and cancer treatments being cancelled, starting in mid-March when the Ontario government instructed hospitals to shut down regular operations and prepare for a surge of China virus patients (which never happened). This is one of the earliest reports, from April: 35 deaths from cancelled heart surgeries:

            https://globalnews.ca/news/6879082/coronavirus-delayed-surgeries-ontario-deaths/

            As to trusting the MSM, I don’t. But in this case, in order to support the pandemic hysteria, the MSM are actually under-reporting the havoc caused in the health care system because of the unwarranted focus on the China virus.

        2. &”John Hopkins study” wasn’t actually a rigorous piece of scientific research.”
          Correct. It was not formally a piece of scientific research — but it was a statistical observation, and while the newsletter has withdrawn this (likely under pressure), the author stands by her analysis. Some of the comments under the first article are also pretty revealing.
          I am inclined to be suspicious about the pandemic, in part, because of the lies and distortions regarding global warming– where I have spent considerable time examining the issue, and the global warming claims do not add up, so you know there is an agenda behind the narrative. Fool me once, etc.
          A person does have to ask what kind of a pandemic we have when so many people question its existence. Did people question the reality of the Black Plague or the Spanish flu? Then, there is the issue of bizarre government policies — neither lockdown nor masks have been scientifically proven, and the economic destruction caused by lockdowns is obvious. So why is the government proceeding with such a destructive course when the effectiveness is highly questionable? People already suspicious about government agendas simply view these things as major red flags.
          And if you are dismissing the claim that Biden won because of a massive cheat, I don’t think you have taken a serious look at the evidence.

          1. “Did people question the reality of the Black Plague or the Spanish flu?”

            Sigh. Yes, actually, quite a few. History repeats itself, the only question is which side your grandchildren will some day find you on.

          2. “Sigh. Yes, actually, quite a few.”~lance

            You say ‘quite a few’. An extravagant claim. Proof, or it didn’t happen.

          3. Lance “Sigh. Yes, actually, quite a few.”

            I’ve read an unhealthily large amount of history in the WWI era and recall not one skeptic. I have read a lot of rural Alberta local history and every little community had at least one or more likely several dead. That brought it home. The Troopship Huntsend carrying about 600 soldiers to England chucked 30 over the side before they reached port and many died in English hospitals after landing. My guess is not one of these had a pre-existing condition or co-morbidity of any sort. The Spanish flu was in your face and affected everyone. The Woohoofloo only affects those in the checkout line. What they call a pandemic is normal flu season. Every winter tens of thousands of old people die of respiratory ailments. Nothing changed in 2020.

          5. ““Did people question the reality of the Black Plague or the Spanish flu?”lance~Sigh. Yes, actually, quite a few.”

            -Saying that masks don’t work in 1918 is NOT questioning the reality of the Spanish Flu.
            It is questioning the efficacy of mask wearing. They were right then, and they are right now. Masks don’t work.

            -Your second link is all about either the ChiComs denying that they are spreading yet another plague or FICTION novels with fictitious characters denying plagues which are NOT the Black Death or Spanish Flu.

            -Your third link is NBC News. NBC is FAKE NEWS and has been for decades. DECADES.
            https://townhall.com/columnists/johnhawkins/2016/12/10/the-7-worst-examples-of-fake-news-from-the-mainstream-media-n2257896

            I am still waiting, lance, for examples of REAL Historians documenting people living during the Black Death and Spanish Flu questioning the REALITY of the Existence of the Black Death and Spanish Flu when there were literally Bodies lying in the streets during both events.(by the way, the Black Death lasted for 300years)

            Social distancing of 6 feet, developed during the Black Death, is based on zero medical science.

            There were medical scientific tests on surgical masks before they politicized COVID19. The results of these tests used to be published on the internet, but were SCRUBBED by the Masters of the Universe because Masks do not work and those tests proved that.

        3. The Hopkins study was not retracted to my knowledge, just taken down from the web site which is not a retraction, it didn’t follow the narrative.
          There maybe reasonable explanations for things but the track record is not good.

          The demonetization of HCQ is the big one. The Lancet, the supposed “God” of all scientific journals had to retract their study claiming HCQ caused heart problems. Not because of poor methodology, no, it was just a bald faced lie and they got caught. Why would they do that?

          Any Doctor putting their hand up and saying this is an over reaction were cancelled, why? There have never been explanations. Two ER doctors did a fantastic video on YouTube describing front line exposure and they said this is a bad flu, video lasted a couple of days, disappeared. Why?

          Chief & deputy medical officers in Ontario: ” I don’t know why I bring all these papers, I just say what they tell me to say”. Who is telling them, my guess WHO directed from China. Why have they not resigned?

          Federal incompetence from TAM, masks don’t work, masks work, wear a mask during sex. Idiotic responses on virtually everything COVID. Trudeau hiding in his cottage while he’s screwing the country at the request of foreign interests, not Canadian interests or the health of Canadians.

          I quoted to local media about Swiss Policy Research and their take that the China flu was a bad flu, not ebola. and right away they claim that group is debunked, by who they would not say. I was criticizing them on their fear mongering coverage. No context.

          A new study, albeit out of China, claims they cannot find one case of COVID transmission among 10,000,000 asymptomatic people. We have had lock downs imposed, masks shoved in our face, ageing people dying by themselves without family and small business going broke all to stop asymptomatic transmission. Epic fail. Class action lawsuits written all over that.

          And you wonder why people here are thinking what they are thinking?
          These are not coincidences especially when sock puppet get’s caught saying this is a great opportunity to steal everybody’s possessions. i.e. The “Great Reset”
          Not a coincidence in my book.

        4. “intellectual honesty”
          LOL what a load of BS.
          “Our articles and content are not endorsed by the University or the School of Medicine, and our decision to retract this article was made independently”
          Maybe you should try some of that “intellectual honesty” sometime.
          Here’s a little piece of advice that has served me well all my years. Always follow the money.
          Also science doesn’t alter data to fit the hypothesis. To do so negates the science and the scientific method. People say follow the science, but what if the scientists are following the money? Pro tip. They do.
          Only a complete idiot or a toady would believe anything these people say. Which one are you?

          1. what if the scientists are following the money? Pro tip. They do.

            Yup. Most academics I’ve known while I was a grad student were professional grifters and layabouts. They would investigate anything, regardless of how ridiculous it was, if someone else paid for it. This allowed them to keep their phony-baloney jobs.

        5. Actually Lance I didn’t start with an ideologically motivated conclusion.

          The way this came about was that a poster on a thread at beginning of December had made a comment on weekly deaths, so I went to look for the data, and stats can had it all in a nice chart comparing back to 2014.

          So to be able to look at it more easily I stuck it in an excel spread sheet. What became apparent was that while we did have a spike due to covid March through June, afterward we were short on deaths – to the point it seemed like there were not any excess deaths that we have been hearing about.

          So I made up the comparative table that showed that there was no statistically significant increase in deaths.

          But the data only went to week 38, and I wanted to see if the shortfall continued, and as such visited the site regularly to see when they would have new data.

          That occurred Monday – but of course they changed data for the whole year – which as Kate noted, might have a perfectly reasonable explanation.

          But given that death counts are the fuel that Covid policies run on, and that we get daily updates on deaths, it strikes me as odd that the entire data set would need to be updated one way, or that that many deaths could possibly be missed.

          I could see adjustments for causes of death, but deaths from all causes should be easy and accurate, and quick.

          What would Trudeau et al say if by the time we got data to year end there had been no statistically significant increase in total deaths? Pretty tough to keep destroying the Canadian economy.

          Do you think the government – particularly the Trudeau Liberal government – is above manipulating data for ideological purposes? Have they ever lied about anything before.

          If there is an enterprising journalist out there – maybe they could get the data from statscan over the last 7 years and see if there were similar upward revisions of approximately the same size – total deaths is a large sample, so anomalies should be smoothed out.

          Thanks Kate for putting it out there for discussion.

          1. “But given that death counts are the fuel that Covid policies run on, and that we get daily updates on deaths, it strikes me as odd that the entire data set would need to be updated one way, or that that many deaths could possibly be missed. I could see adjustments for causes of death, but deaths from all causes should be easy and accurate, and quick.”

            One might think, but that misunderstands the nature of StatCan’s Vital Statistics – Death Database, the data source behind the interactive tool from which you’re drawing your numbers. StatCan doesn’t collect national death statistics independently, but rather is beholden to each province and territory feeding it data from their respective Vital Statistics registries. Some P/Ts do this regularly and quickly, inside 30 days from when their own registries record a vital statistics event (birth, death, etc). Other P/Ts might take up to 60 days, others yet even longer. Sometimes they send incomplete datasets, and sometimes they send updates months, even years, after the fact. This federal reliance on the goodwill and pace of the P/Ts is standard intergovernmental practice, the consequence of Canada’s federated nature.

            StatCan’s practice of routinely updating its death and other vital stats databases is widely known and widely accepted among regular data users. It’s for this reason that everyone (including StatCan) treats the most recent years’ data as provisional — and the closer in time to the present, the more provisional it is. This is even openly acknowledged in StatCan’s own notes for table 13-10-0768-01 — see #3-4, 6-9, 11, and 14.

            This “you collect, we compile” arrangement makes some sense — civil registries are under P/T rather than federal jurisdiction, so it’s left to the feds to stitch together a national picture from disparate jurisdictional sources. But it does mean that StatCan can do little to compel stragglers to provide their data more quickly. And it also means that, no, the federal government can’t just change this particular set of numbers for ideological purposes (which isn’t to say that politicians are always above manipulating data for ideological reasons, because of course they aren’t, on both sides of the aisle) — each P/T can still see the numbers they submitted for their jurisdiction, which means the only way fraud could work here is if the P/Ts were not just also in on it, but actively leading the way by manipulating the (publicly available) raw numbers on their ends.

            Oh, and the reason why the dataset only gets updated one way — additional deaths, not fewer — is simple: the updates are based mostly on the receipt of additional registry records from P/Ts, rather than on verifying already received registry records.

    2. Not initially trusting something or someone not quite right is a survival trait. Friendly raccoon, smiling politician, the RCMP.

      1. “Not initially trusting something or someone not quite right is a survival trait.”

        So is trying to understand what you’re talking about before opening your mouth in public about it.

        1. Am I supposed to disagree with that?
          But certainly as The Supreme Expert Of All you might take your own advice once a year.

        2. lance you need more information to expand your intellect. You seem to think that others are like you.

  10. Revising history, very Orwellian. Has anyone heard from the climatologists recently? Maybe they have found other employment for their skills.

    1. They are gleefully anticipating lock downs over the climate “crisis” to bring down the earth’s temperature.
      Yes they are insane.

  11. I just did a very quick analysis of the data and it looks like a quick and dirty cheat. The “correction” factor is an exponential. It does not show any sign of to the first , or second wave. The exponent was used to spread the correction evenly and avoid too “obvious” steps. It was probably made to avoid an embarrassing DECREASE of total number of deaths in 2020 as compared with the previous years.

    1. Quite possibly someone at Stats Can found a theoretically adjustment to be made, for some reason; just like “global” temperatures.

  12. One thing strikes me, whether the numbers true or not, theyr don’t show a meaninful increas in deaths this year. It looks like the “covid” deatahs are lost in the noise literally as well as figuratively.

    1. Robert the number of deaths is the same this year world wide as last year, with a very small adjustment for population increase. The flu is not decimating the planet, government actions are. 56 million last year, 56 million early this am . At an average of about 153,400 a day nothing has changed. In fact deaths may be down a bit.

  14. Statistics Canada’s methodology is fundamentally flawed; it has, by design, an upward bias in the China virus death estimates.

    Stats Can assumes that all of the additional deaths this year compared to last are because of the China virus. In other words, Stats Can assumes everything this year compared to last year is the same, except for the China virus. But that is not true. Starting in March this year, in anticipation for a huge wave of China virus patients requiring hospitalization (which never happened), the health care system essentially stopped treating most other health problems. For example, heart surgeries and cancer treatments were cancelled. Canadians died because of this and those deaths are included in Stats Can’s estimate of China virus deaths

  15. StatsCan is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Liberal Party; they revise, eliminate, or ignore data according to Party policy.

    The consumer price index, inflation, climate, immigration, unemployment, etc. have all been bent to favour Liberal Party policy in the past, why wouldn’t they revise death itself?

  16. Just another plank in the strategy.

    Stack the courts, the government, the school boards, the media, local government.

    All partisan Lieberal$.

  18. I for one welcome our fat administrative State hagfish, …I mean overlords, and their “glitches” and furthermore accept all their wise excuses as to why they are forced to lie to us and do not wish them slow ass cancer death with ants.

  19. They probably just found some suitcases of deaths under the table after most of the monitoring staff was told to go home.

  20. You will also want to remember that there are more people in Canada now than there were in previous years – and therefore more people die in later years than in earlier ones. There is a reason most statistical analysis uses the deaths per 100,000 metric. It is a relatively simple matter to convert these numbers to that metric.

    The most common misuse of statistics and visual representations is to wrap an emotional package around a logical number. For an interesting read I recommend this book: “https://www.amazon.ca/Visual-Display-Quantitative-Information/dp/1930824130” The numbers are almost always correct as it is difficult to mess around with the number itself, and it is subject to subsequent correction if found wrong. The emotional and visual misrepresentation is easy to do and there is no need to correct it later if found wrong.

    I would be inclined to believe the numbers. Even with the revisions upward it still does not justify what the fascist thugs that are pretending to be our masters are doing.

    1. “I would be inclined to believe the numbers.”

      I wouldn’t.
      They have no problem lying about the temperature or whether or not SNC Lavalin paid bribes or whether Justin Trudeau criminally interfered with a police investigation.
      Why should they have integrity about anything else or anything at all? Who holds them accountable for the truth?

        1. It certainly isn’t the people who voted Trudeau into office again or the RCMP who should have arrested Trudeau after publicly confessing that he interfered with a criminal investigation. Lying and corruption doesn’t bother them at all.
          Tell me this, PO’ed in AB, how can the opposition hold them accountable, since by definition, they are the opposition and not the government? The opposition has fewer seats, which is why they aren’t the government.

  22. This is absolutely beyond hilarious and is also the reason people don’t understand Covid19 deaths or all deaths down south. They’re provisional deaths. Meaning, the numbers are when the death actually happened, not when it’s reported. Therefore any time there’s an update, each week going back months will increase. The further in the past the week is, the less it will increase.

    Yes it really does take that much time to issue and process death certificates. Accuracy is what’s important here, not speed.

    This is a big factor in all those bullshit “The CDC quietly updates….” narratives back in the spring. People simply didn’t understand the difference in provisional deaths, and as reported deaths.

    This is also why you don’t report on how many people died in 2020 on Jan 1 2021. It will take at least until March maybe even April to have an idea what the true number is. This applies to Canada and the USA.

  23. “This is absolutely beyond hilarious”

    What is beyond hilarious? Pissing your pants, murderous rage, pandemonius confusion?
    What is beyond hilarious and how absolute is it exactly?

    1. Beyond hilarious how dumb people can be.

      This and why flu cases are way down are IQ tests. Unfortunately most here fail.

      1. Allens
        “Flu Cases are way down…”

        Bullshit.
        The 2019/2020 seasonal flu sonny boy, happens to be this particular corona Variant.

        Not get your weekly CCP memo..??

  24. This may be unrelated but I noticed around the same Dec 7th date that the new cases data for Sweden in the “World-o-meter” changed.
    https://www.google.com/search?sxsrf=ALeKk02XYC6E1MFN6KDWFMZGIQYedjoATw%3A1609344498240&source=hp&ei=8qXsX-ebDKS_0PEPyremiAI&q=sweden%27s+new+covid+cases&oq=sweden%27s+new+covid+cases&gs_lcp=CgZwc3ktYWIQAzIJCAAQyQMQFhAeMgYIABAWEB4yBggAEBYQHjIGCAAQFhAeMgYIABAWEB46BAgjECc6CAgAEMkDEJECOgUIABCRAjoICAAQsQMQgwE6CwguELEDEMcBEKMCOgUIABCxAzoICAAQsQMQyQM6CAguELEDEIMBOgIIADoFCC4QsQM6CwguELEDEIMBEMkDOggILhDHARCjAjoCCC46BwgjEMkDECc6BQgAEMkDUKIDWPM-YKtGaABwAHgAgAHXAYgBlhOSAQYxNy42LjGYAQCgAQGqAQdnd3Mtd2l6&sclient=psy-ab&ved=0ahUKEwjn3Iu5i_btAhWkHzQIHcqbCSEQ4dUDCAk&uact=5
    The changes revised (as much as I could tell) all the data for daily new cases going back months with 3 days each week now with zero cases where the previous data showed some cases distributed to those days. It looks like the weekly cases between the old and new don’t equate either. Out of curiosity I was tracking the latest new cases spike in Sweden which up until the data change was looking like things were levelling out. The new data replaced the somewhat flat old trend with an increasing new one. The latest week in Sweden’s new cases data has five consecutive days of zero’s with the next day (which is currently the last day of data) showing the highest new cases spike ever (go figure). Time will tell but given the sudden overwrite of new cases data earlier this month it looks to me like Sweden’s new cases graph on the World-o-meter site is intentionally being made to make things look worse in the one place in the Western World where herd immunity should be happening. Just in time for the Holidays.

    1. What they’re not telling you is about half of Sweden’s cases are from the “immigrant” communities.

  25. I had not checked the Swiss Policy Research web site for a while. Just did. It is still fair and balanced in its claims, and is consistent with evidence I have seen elsewhere.
    Look at this one: “Media: The reporting of many media has been unprofessional, has maximized fear and panic in the population and has led to a massive overestimation of the lethality and mortality of covid. Some media even used manipulative pictures and videos to dramatize the situation.”
    Anyone want to argue with that? The Ottawa Citizen is now featuring personal stories of people who died from Covid. I consider this to be absolutely ghoulish. I am wondering if they will have a future series on cancer deaths, or heart disease. Media coverage is all about promoting fear.
    Here is the Swiss Policy site: https://swprs.org/facts-about-covid-19/

    1. “The Ottawa Citizen is now featuring personal stories of people who died from Covid. I consider this to be absolutely ghoulish.”

      Yes. They are fearmongering the entire issue to serve a political purpose. Personal stories could be entirely fiction. They lie.
      This sort of fearmongering is exactly what they have been doing with CAGW for over a quarter of a century. It is all political.

      1. YES, Oz, it is all political.
        The old wisdom of not discussing politics or religion with valued family members and friends is now MOOT. Non-operative.
        All is politics now.
        I warned a recently formed re-friended liberal friend that the shelf life of a liberal and conservative friendship will be short
        -lived unless the conservative keeps his mouth shut about nearly everyhing of consequence. This conservative held out for a quite a while but eventually broke and timidly expressed a dissenting view. Kaput.

    2. Linda, swprs.org has been a go to site for me since I found it early spring.
      The gall of a local radio station to say this site was debunked. Of course it was a Global station, I gave them crap about their fear mongering and no context to their reports. I was essentially told I was full of it. Their report on the media response is accurate for sure. Most in media have their head up their arse as they drink each others bath water and/or they are flat outlying to the public.

  26. We know what the present is,the future is clear..The Past,constantly changing,unknowable.
    Does no one remember the “Flu Death Statistics”.?
    Early in this Plandemic,clever people noticed that the Wuhan Flu had killed fewer people than a normal (average) flu season.
    The official response was tragic,for their credibility that is.

    “You can’t use those numbers,we just make that statistic up!”

    Without large and constant lies the Kleptocracy will wither and die.
    Should the host,those dumb taxpayers, see the steal and identify those coordinating it,hell will come to parasite central.
    Now this is the same Stats Canada that is snuffling through your bank accounts,an intrusive organization that has no value to the citizen..
    Think about it.
    A bureau dedicated to reducing society to a set of numbers,to better allow our governance.
    Mandated to provide accurate information to government.

    So useless and worthless make work for minions.
    Because our leaders,both elected and selected, are morons.
    Even if provided with the best most honestly accurate information in the universe,they will still impose their ideology,rather than deal with the reality of a bankrupt and breaking apart country.

    So regardless of Stats Canada’s rational for changing the past records,we are no better or worse off for it as they could not be trusted in the past and cannot be trusted in the present.

  27. Here is the proper excuse..Snark.
    One of the symptoms of Covid is enhanced stupidity,thus going back through our records,all deaths by stupidity,are obviously due to Covid-19.
    And we have an awful lot of stupid.

    1. +++John. I was talking to friend my age the other day and I asked him how he was fairing with cov2 crap, he said things were good and bad. The good was that much like me he does not have much longer on the planet, the bad was it is still too long.

  28. Lance – I replied to you upthread

    Thanks Kate for putting the post up.

    Hope there is an enterprising journalist out there who will dig in to see if this type and size of data change is status quo and why.

  29. Poor Ward. Till now he probably believed inflation had averaged two percent for the last 20 years, and not closer to ten percent as the price of gold indicated (to say nothing of the price of houses).

    1. Santa, I seriosuly doubt Ward believes that.

      Nor, I’m sure, does he believe that central banks should create money out of thin air and institute inflation targets. The allegedly benign 2% means a halving of dollar purchasing power every 36 years.

      1. Bullsype. I use my house insurance premiums as an “inflation indicator”, never been less than 6% annually. Commonly more. I invest accordingly. You double your money every 12 years at 6%. Rule of 72. Dividend paying stocks only.

  30. Well, it’s only 9,630. Who were they, where did they come from, how did they die, why was their death information processed so slowly? In fact, it looks like an audit is necessary covering every detail of every dearh in 2020. I’m sure no one would object to a thorough audit.

  31. So the Statscan data appears flaky does it?
    I’ll throw in this caveat.
    The government works on the message and gave up informing some time ago.
    So the data was never intended as information but as another tool to influence behaviour. That being said, that if accuracy was second to impact, the folks compiling the so called data would not be interested in accurate numbers if it didn’t supply the message the boss asked for.
    Now I won’t add what message was or is wanted, but I will add that bureaucrats by nature want to see growth in their department and budget. You can sell that desire to those cutting the cheque by giving them what they want.
    Remember it’s Statistics Canada not Fact Finder Canada.

    1. Bureaucrats make the statement. They then tell their scientists and mathematicians “to make it so.”

  32. Call your local mortuary and ask them how many bodies they processed since march 1st.

      1. Then they should be rolling in the dough, what with people dying left and right and the bodies piling up.

        1. Yes they are, but always were anyhow. It’s a ‘sure thing’ business(death and taxes). Recession proof too.
          My Grandfather was a plasterer(before drywall) until the Great Depression hit. Then he had to find new work.
          Turning the house into a funeral home was the answer. Back in the day you had to have 2 jet black horses and the hearse carriage was costly too. But as I said death and taxes are sure things and he became rich quickly.

          That said, NO there is not a noticeable increase in deaths where the rubber hits the road, the funeral business.

  33. A 27 year-old woman in Lethbridge, AB died of COVID. What they left out was: she had severe cerebral palsy. She had a stroke at the age of five rendering her a vegetable. Her organs were failing.
    A 41 year-old Louisiana congressman died of COVID. After the fear-mongers were done, the NY Post reported that he had a heart attack.
    https://nypost.com/2020/12/30/congressman-elect-luke-letlow-suffered-a-heart-attack-during-operation/?utm_campaign=iphone_nyp&utm_source=pasteboard_app

    The COVID death statistics are overblown and are total BS.

  35. Total yearly US deaths as of Dec. 30

    2016 : 2,744,248
    2017 : 2,813,503 increase of 69,255
    2018 : 2,839,205 increase of 25,702
    2019 : 2,855,000 increase of 15,795
    2020 : 2,902,664 increase of 47,664

    Considering murder is up, looks like a normal year.

  36. SO JUICY!!!!
    Keep it coming folks.

    I happen to know a retired BC administrator who was threatened to come out of retirement or kiss your pension bye bye. And……..go.

    Half trolling, I admit. A true story…a purposeful troll nonetheless….Tossed into play from under the bridge. Anybody else aware of similar instances?
