Just under 335,000 people died in Canada in 2022, a 7.1% spike from the previous year in a trend that touched nearly every region of the country, according to the country’s statistics agency. 

The Statistics Canada data, released in a report Monday, extends a drop in life expectancy for a third straight year. It dipped from 81.6 years in 2021 to 81.3 years in 2022, with the decline more prominent among females than males.
