I'm not disagreeing, but it would be more meaningful to use percentage of population.
9,000 / 37,000,000 (Canadian population rounded down) = .00024 (.024%)
185,000 / 330,000,000 (same for US) = 0.00056 (.056%)
So, the US has over twice as many deaths per capita.

It would have been nice if we didn't have politicians and the media encouraging large gatherings of people during a pandemic, but here we are.

That 37% should have a state of their own
