Life expectancy falls
Life expectancy in New Brunswick drops by 1.14 years
(likely paywalled but probably reported elsewhere)
My 85 year old MIL is still going strong...but she's from Quebec.

Life expectancy in New Brunswick dropped by a dramatic 1.14 years in 2022 as COVID-19 deaths were the highest on record since the beginning of the pandemic, pulling down the average age New Brunswickers are expected to live to, according to newly released Statistics Canada data.
It’s the largest single drop recorded across the country.
The average New Brunswicker is now expected to live to 79.76 years old.
It’s 77.77 years for New Brunswick men and 81.80 for women, with the life expectancy of both sexes dropping by more than an entire year over a 12-month span.

Re: Life expectancy falls
The Health organisations are still reporting cases in hospital/ICU and deaths and their numbers have been consistent throughout.
But the government are now not even counting Covid deaths unless they happen in hospital and it's very hard to even get test kits. The Chief Medical Officer has been silenced and is on her way out.
The government has also withdrawn charges against the anti-vaxxer, anti measures people too, presumably because it would keep covid in the news.

In this province they are doing everything they can to say it's done. Or at least the government is.

Re: Life expectancy falls
It's very noticeable now that people cough and splutter all the time in a way that would have been socially unacceptable before covid. It's usual for people to be visibly ill now.
