Please explain why Canada has such a horrendous death rate compared to the US and the World?

The rates were quite the opposite in the beginning but started switching places in April-May when the New York outbreak was dying down because of the lockdowns, while we started having outbreaks in nursing/senior homes. At the same time, the USA improved their testing numbers and are now ahead of us. Not that difficult to explain, unless I am missing something.
Those numbers are not that relevant due to numerous factors, including number of test per capita, asymptomatic carriers, etc. The mortality rates are probably near equal in both countries. I don’t see those numbers as a good comparison criteria.
