It's amazing how people who want to minimize COVID deaths then use the most obscenely liberal definition of flu deaths derived from computer models to make their point.
The most comparable flu season to COVID in terms of surveillance was the 2009 flu season with H1N1. We had fairly widespread testing (particularly of people in hospital) and a national reporting system. And that year there were 428 flu deaths in Canada.
