You can't exactly trust the National Post, even though it's one of Canada's largest newspapers - it's owned by the Postmedia Network, itself majority owned by New Jersey-based Chatham Asset Management. I'd like to point out a couple of falsehoods in the article, right off the bat: - Italy having lowest excess deaths -- popularized myth, but patently false. Compare here with some G7 and other Nordic countries [1] - "as the pandemic dissipated in 2022 and 2023" -- the baseline Covid hospitalization rate across Canadian provinces is steadily climbing, already higher than peaks of some of the "waves" in 2021 and 2022. While coverage of the pandemic might have dissipated, the health emergency itself has become endemic [2] It's interesting to see the Post take a WFH-friendly tone, up until recently they've been pro RTO. Wonder if C.A.M. has shuffled their holdings around, or perhaps insurance companies are starting to feel the weight of LTD payouts? 1: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/excess-deaths-cumulative-per-100k-economist?tab=chart&country=USA~CAN~GBR~DEU~SWE~NOR https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/excess-deaths-cumulative-... 2: https://ici.radio-canada.ca/info/2022/coronavirus-covid-19-pandemie-cas-deces-hospitalisations/ https://ici.radio-canada.ca/info/2022/coronavirus-covid-19-p...
