Fig 5 shows deaths by age. Unless everyone who died that is over 60 lives in a long term care home (not the case) and half of the 50 year olds as well, the OP information isn't correct.
Page 7 breaks down the numbers as of July 7 2020. Even then, LTC deaths were 6784 of the 8552 recorded deaths. So 1768 (about 20%) were outside LTC homes, not 166 (less than 2%).
Age stratification of deaths is wild and I do think we've lost the plot up here, but it would be better not to use false info to make the point.
So we have links for proof? I'm a Canada pede but the smooth brains will wanna see "evidence"
Anyone with any sense wants to see evidence. Otherwise what else are you going on? Gut feel?
Anyway here's all I could find:
