Canada’s COVID mandates linked to rise in ‘unexplained deaths’: new report
From LifeSiteNews
The report drew on data from Statistics Canada and essentially concluded that thousands died not from the COVID-19 virus but because of public health rules.
A new report released by one of Canada’s leading constitutional freedom groups has raised alarm bells over the “harms caused” by COVID-19 lockdowns and injections imposed by various levels of government as well as a rise in unexplained deaths and bloated COVID-19 death statistics.
The report, titled “Post-COVID Canada: The rise in unexpected deaths,” was released September 3 by the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF). It found three key findings that arose from various Canadian governments’ handling of COVID.
“The report raises urgent concerns about the accuracy of Covid death reports, the harmful impacts of lockdowns and vaccine mandates, and the ongoing trend of unexplained deaths in Canada,” the JCCF noted.
The report drew on data from Statistics Canada and essentially concluded that thousands of Canadians died not from the COVID-19 virus itself but rather because of public health rules and vaccine mandates put in place.
The first main finding is that so called “unexpected” or “excess” deaths were significantly higher in 2022 after most lockdowns were in place but also at a time when most had had at least one injection of the mRNA COVID jabs.
The report found that there were “14,950 unexpected deaths in 2020, 13,510 unexpected deaths in 2021, and 31,370 unexpected deaths in 2022.”
“Canadians died at an alarming rate between 2020 and 2024. While public health officials and politicians claim that COVID was the cause, the data show that Covid death statistics were inflated and that thousands of Canadians died due to lockdowns, vaccine mandates, and their downstream effects,” the JCCF noted.
The report also found that deaths rose after the rollout of the COVID injections, noting that by the end of 2021, over 80 percent of Canadians were “fully vaccinated for Covid.”
“In 2022, however, Covid deaths increased to an all-time high of 19,906 – a 22 percent increase over 2020 Covid deaths,” the JCCF mentioned.
The report also concluded that 10,000 deaths among seniors in 2020 and 2021 were “misclassified as Covid deaths.”
However, the JCCF observed that when looking at the statistics, in 2020 and 2021, Statistics Canada reported “690 fewer deaths from respiratory and pulmonary disease; 3,270 fewer deaths from respiratory infections and lung disease; 6,100 fewer deaths from vascular and other dementia diseases; and 1,000 fewer deaths from Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and other degenerative diseases of the nervous system.”
“The data is clear: deaths that would otherwise have been attributed to these illnesses were attributed to Covid,” the JCCF stated.
LifeSiteNews has published an extensive amount of research on the dangers of the experimental COVID mRNA jabs that include heart damage and blood clots.
The mRNA shots have also been linked to a multitude of negative and often severe side effects in children, and all have connections to cell lines derived from aborted babies.
Deaths linked to COVID lockdowns and ‘unknown’ causes spiked in 2022
In the report, the JCCF observed that when it comes to deaths “linked” to COVID lockdowns, drug overdose, delayed medical procedures, and alcohol-related deaths “increased significantly during lockdowns.”
The data, which Statistics Canada attributed to deaths from “unknown causes” for “Canadians under 45, who passed away in 2022, over 15 percent of these did not have a cause of death.”
JCCF research and education coordinator Benjamin Klassen, who is also the lead author of the report, said, “This report shows that Canadians were seriously misled about Covid and about the safety and effectiveness of government lockdowns and vaccine mandates.”
“Governments not only failed to protect lives but also contributed to thousands of preventable deaths with their freedom-violating policies,” he observed.
Klassen noted that despite government “assurances” that its policies would “save lives,” the reality is that the “data reveals the opposite.”
“Lockdowns, delayed healthcare, and rushed vaccine mandates all appear to have significantly contributed to high numbers of additional and unexpected deaths from causes other than Covid,” he observed.
“Higher death rates in Canada have continued to rise – especially evident among young Canadians.”
Report recommends investigation into COVID jabs and lockdowns
The JCCF report recommends that three steps be urgently taken at once to ensure that transparency and accountability to the public happens.
The first recommendation calls for both Statistics Canada and all levels of government to “provide timely and accurate death data.”
The second recommendation is a call for an investigation into the “harms caused by Covid lockdowns and vaccines.”
“Canadians deserve an independent and transparent inquiry into the short-term and long-term harms caused by government responses to Covid,” the report states.
The third recommendation calls for the protection of “freedom of expression for professionals.”
“Canadian professionals need legislation that prohibits colleges of physicians and surgeons and other professional regulatory bodies from censoring and punishing professionals who express dissenting views on public health issues,” the report says.
It should be noted that, after Premier Danielle Smith took over, the provincial government of Alberta commissioned Dr. Gary Davidson to investigate the previous administration’s handling of COVID-19.
Davidson’s report, which was made public earlier this year, recommended an immediate halt to the experimental jabs for healthy children and teenagers, citing the risks the shots pose.
From about March 2020 to mid-2022, most of Canada was under various COVID-19 mandates and lockdowns, including mask mandates, at the local, provincial, and federal levels.
In October 2021, then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced unprecedented COVID-19 jab mandates for all federal workers and those in the transportation sector, saying the unjabbed would no longer be able to travel by air, boat, or train, both domestically and internationally.
This policy resulted in thousands losing their jobs or being placed on leave for non-compliance.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. challenged the record of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on the COVID-19 pandemic and the precipitous rise in chronic disease in the U.S. as he defended his shakeup of the health agency at a Senate hearing Thursday.
“These changes were absolutely necessary to restore the CDC’s role as the world’s gold standard public health with a central mission of protecting Americans from infectious disease,” Kennedy said. “CDC failed that responsibility miserably during COVID when its disastrous and nonsensical policies destroyed small businesses, violated civil liberties, closed our schools and caused generational damage in doing so, masked infants with no science and heightened economic inequality.”
The combative hearing follows Kennedy’s high-profile showdown with former CDC Director Susan Monarez last week. Kennedy ousted Monarez from the post on Aug. 25, less than a month into her tenure, over a dispute about his overhaul of the committee that advises the CDC on vaccine schedules.

In a Senate Finance Committee hearing, Democrats and Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana criticized Kennedy for his actions to remake the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), as well as changes by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to COVID-19 vaccine approvals. They lambasted Kennedy as undermining confidence in vaccines and in established science.
“I’m approaching this as a doctor, not as a senator. I am concerned about children’s health, seniors’ health, all of our health. And I applaud you for joining the president in a call for radical transparency,” said Cassidy, referring to President Donald Trump’s call on Truth Social for COVID vaccine manufacturers to make data more readily available.
Cassidy last week appeared to side with Monarez in her dustup with Kennedy, urging physicians to ignore the ACIP’s recommendations.
Monarez alleged in a Wall Street Journal op-ed published hours before the hearing that Kennedy had pressured her to preapprove the outcome of an ACIP meeting scheduled for Sept. 18-19. Kennedy said that the op-ed amounted to a lie. He denied having a private meeting with her in which he asked her to leave.
Kennedy dismissed criticism of the changes to the ACIP from the American Academy of Pediatrics, pointing to the association’s pharmaceutical ties. Kennedy also cited a 2000 congressional investigation into physicians and scientists serving on the committee with financial stakes in the drugmakers they oversaw.
“I didn’t politicize ACIP, I depoliticized it,” Kennedy said.
Kennedy answered the broader criticism with a scathing referendum of the CDC’s actions during the COVID pandemic and insisted the agency should focus on its original mission of protecting Americans from infectious diseases. Kennedy added the agency requires “new blood” in light of the CDC’s “catastrophically bad judgement” during the pandemic.
“The U.S. is home to 4.2% of the world’s population yet we had nearly 20% of the COVID deaths,” Kennedy said. “The people at CDC who oversaw that process, who put masks on our children, who closed our schools, are the people who will be leaving.”
Kennedy also questioned whether the CDC was complacent amid a precipitous rise in rates of obesity, heart disease and diabetes.
“CDC’s job was to make sure this didn’t happen,” he said.
Sometimes Kennedy also directly challenged the records of individual senators on the panel, including Sens. Michael Bennet of Colorado, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Ron Wyden of Oregon.
Kennedy accused Wyden of overseeing a rise in childhood chronic disease from a position of influence over American health care.
“Senator you’ve sat in that chair for how long? Twenty, twenty-five years? While the chronic diseases in our children went up to 76%. And you said nothing,” Kennedy said.
Wyden has served on the Finance Committee, which shares jurisdiction over health policy issues, since 1996.
Kennedy also named a litany of HHS priorities addressed since his February confirmation, asserting that his brief tenure has been among the most productive in history on issues ranging from food dyes, baby formula, fluoride in tap water, 7-OH or “gas station heroin,” drug prices, the “GRAS” loophole, reducing animal testing, ending gain-of-function research, FDA drug approvals and ending diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies.
Kennedy also opened his testimony by expressing sympathy for the family of Dekalb County police officer David Rose who died by gunshot in an attack on CDC headquarters.
Pullback Of COVID Vaccines In Perpetuity
Several senators criticized a new FDA framework to require new clinical trial data for annual COVID-19 booster shots for healthy adults and children. Democrats portrayed the move as a betrayal of Kennedy’s promise at confirmation hearings earlier this year to not restrict access to vaccines. People can continue to seek the vaccine off-label, but the HHS actions limit insurance coverage.
Kennedy reminded the panel that two top vaccine regulators at the FDA during the Biden administration, Marion Gruber and Phil Krause, departed the agency in response to pressure to approve a boosters-for-all strategy without this clinical evidence in 2021.
The hearing also occasionally delved into other more contentious topics where Kennedy diverges from many Republicans on Capitol Hill.
Sen. Chuck Grassley sought reassurance from Kennedy, a frequent critic of genetically modified crops, synthetic pesticides and their manufacturers, that he would let the U.S. Department of Agriculture lead regulation of agriculture. Kennedy agreed and added that he was working with USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins on certain priorities.
Kennedy also alleged the CDC buried evidence of an association between the Mumps, Measles and Rubella (MMR) vaccine and autism in children, which could land him in hot water with a broader coalition of lawmakers.

New Brunswick Horizon Health Network requires masks in emergency rooms and patient areas despite data showing just 26 COVID cases reported in a month and no hospitalizations.
Some hospitals in eastern Canada resumed mandatory masking mandates, citing the COVID-19 virus as a reason.
In a recent statement, New Brunswick Horizon Health Network said the “continuous use of medical-grade face masks” will now be mandatory for all staff and visitors in emergency rooms and in patient areas.
According to Horizon Health Network spokesperson Merita MacMillan, as per media reports, the return of the mandatory mask mandate was due to COVID.
“We can confirm that there are COVID-19 outbreak units in chronic care at Horizon’s The Moncton Hospital (TMH), transitional care at Saint John Regional Hospital (SJRH), and a surgical unit at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital (DECRH) (Fredericton),” MacMillan said.
The data from the New Brunswick government shows that there were only 26 cases of COVID reported from June 29 to July 26, but no hospitalizations or deaths.
The mandatory face mask policy states that masks must be worn at all times; however, masks are not required for cafeterias, lobbies, or hallways.
Horizon Health Network runs about 12 hospitals and over 100 medical facilities throughout New Brunswick.
Mandatory face mask polices were common in Canada, and all over the world, for years during the COVID crisis, despite over 170 studies showing they were not effective in stopping the spread of COVID and were in fact harmful, especially to children.
Indeed, a recent study showed that COVID masking policies left children less able to differentiate people’s emotions behind facial expressions.
Many Canadian doctors who spoke out against COVID mask mandates, lockdowns, and the experimental mRNA injections were censured by their medical boards.
