This is so disturbing. Alberta's population at the end of 2015 was 4,144,491. By the end of 2023 it has grown to 4,695,290. That's a 13.2% growth. In the same time period deaths have gone from 450/week to 625/week.... A whopping 38.8% increase in weekly deaths. What did the government do in the last 3 years that's killing so many Albertans? www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/71-607-…
This is the data or Albertans 65-84 years old. The weekly deaths in this group increased from 180 to 270...a 50% increase. 50% increase. Say it again. 50% increase. It's not suicides or an opioid epidemic that's killing more Albertans.
@Martyupnorth_2 What is the change in the size of the 65+ cohort since 2015? Not a negligible factor in an aging society
@Martyupnorth_2 Insane. I'll bet they're doing calculations on how many OAS and CCP payments they didn't need to fork out.
@Martyupnorth_2 It's the baby boomer population bubble dying
@Martyupnorth_2 Every pleb knows the vax is a de pop psy-op and needs more sunshine
The stark increase in mortality rates among Albertans, particularly those aged 65-84, starkly highlights systemic failures rather than isolated incidents. This 50% surge in deaths within this demographic can be directly attributed to a combination of deteriorating healthcare services, the escalating cost of living, and the residual effects of the pandemic—all exacerbated by policy decisions. The COVID-19 pandemic brutally exposed the vulnerabilities within our healthcare system, particularly for senior citizens. Despite this, there appears to be a continuous lack of substantial investment from the federal government in the necessary areas. Seniors, already hard-hit by the health crisis, continue to suffer due to insufficient support and resources. Moreover, the burden has been compounded by the federal carbon tax, increasing annually every April. This policy affects everyone, with seniors on fixed incomes particularly unable to manage these rising costs. The annual increases in the carbon tax intensify the financial challenges many seniors face, forcing them to choose between essential medication and other basic needs—a choice that can have fatal consequences. Alberta’s population growth of 13.2% since 2015 has naturally led to an increase in the overall number of deaths. Still, the disproportionate rise in mortality among older adults is a clear indicator of a system failing to support this vulnerable group effectively. Cuts in healthcare funding and resources in recent years have further strained the capacity of medical services to provide timely and effective care, turning manageable conditions into life-threatening emergencies for many seniors. These factors demonstrate that the increased mortality rate is not an anomaly but a direct result of systemic inadequacies that demand urgent attention. The government must urgently address these critical issues by reinvesting in healthcare infrastructure and crafting economic policies that genuinely prioritize the welfare of all citizens, especially the aging population, to prevent further avoidable losses. We can persist in spreading the zombie lie that Canada boasts top-tier healthcare, or we can confront the truth and commit to genuine improvements—it's time to choose reality over comfortable fiction.
@Martyupnorth_2 @tjkennedyphoto Why pay for the lower gdp productive slaves to live longer when you can import breeding stock who don’t have the expectation of democratic process?
@Martyupnorth_2 It's so weird that people over the age 65 are dying. I have no explanation
@Martyupnorth_2 Ya our healthcare system is tanking and old people can’t take living under the UCP regime. The still birth certificate 25% discount just isn’t cutting it.
