Global Population Distribution Database - Methodology
A gridded canadian population dataset for 1991 with a 1/6 latitude and 1/4 longitudegrid resolution was obtained from the Canadian National Pollutant Release
http://grid2.cr.usgs.gov/globalpop/1-degree/method.html

Extractions: In order to allocate the urban population of each country, we used Rand McNally World Atlas (Ref. 2) population of around 6,000 cities worldwide with population greater than 50,000 inhabitants. The population figures were taken either from censuses or official estimates, other than for a few cities for which only unofficial estimates were available. Population figures were given for different years, ranging from 1967 to 1990, and sometimes varies even for cities in the same country. Unfortunately, average annual urban growth rates are available only from 1985 (ref. 4). So, in order to obtain 1990 population estimates, for cities with data from earlier than 1985, first we applied a growth rate of 0.63 for those in developed countries, and 2.13 for those in less developed countries (ref. 3) in order to obtain 1985 populations for each city. Then the average annual urban growth rates (1985-1990) (ref. 4) were used to obtain 1990 estimates from city populations for the years 1985-1989.

http://www.agr.gc.ca/misb/fb/food/consumer/mrkreports/consumers/consumers_e.html

Extractions: In 2000, Canadian consumers spent slightly more than $105 billion on food and beverages (including alcohol) in retail stores and foodservice operations. This spending represents the value-added of the food and beverage processing, food distribution and foodservice sectors and the cost of purchased raw agricultural products. Much of the increase can be attributed to population growth, greater service costs and food price inflation. Canadians spent $55.8 billion in grocery stores, $29.9 billion in various foodservice outlets (mainly restaurants, institutions and hotels), and $19.5 billion for alcoholic beverages in 2000. Canadians have historically enjoyed an enviable position globally in terms of the share of PDI spent annually on food and non-alcoholic beverages bought in stores. In 1997 (latest published data for international comparisons), Canadian consumers spent almost 10% of their PDI on food and non-alcoholic beverages. Only the US, and more recently the Netherlands, have recorded lower shares at about 8.1% and 9.7%, respectively. The share of PDI spent on food has been falling for many years in Canada. For example, in 1974 the share was 13.6% and in 1983 it was 10.9%. Share of Personal Disposable Income Spent

The Challenge of Ecology Where Human Ethics Clash with Ecology Changing our Ethics ... les Showing Water Availability Throughout the World Problem, What Problem? The Challenge of Ecology The major challenge for all humanity in the twenty-first century is to learn to live within the web of life on Earth without destroying it. This will be a difficult undertaking for a species with a misplaced sense of its own importance. It is only in the past few hundred years that humans have come to accept that the Earth (and by inference humanity) is not the centre of the Universe. Now, scientific knowledge about ecology makes it clear that human beings are not of central importance to the continuation of the process of life on Earth except in the negative sense that they have the capacity to destroy it. Human beings seem to have an instinctive drive to expand their numbers. Furthermore, in many cultures, including the globally predominant consumer culture, there is a bias that recognizes ethics only in terms of human relationships but not in terms of the human impact on other forms of life, regardless of the fact that they make human life possible. Consequently, human numbers and demands continue to grow and fuel the deterioration of the web of life on Earth. We must develop a new sense of ethics that involves confronting our instinctive expansionist drives and our disregard for non-human forms of life.

Extractions: A little more than 200 years ago, Corsica gave France Napoleon. For the last 20 years, however, it has mainly given her headaches. In the past decade alone, there have been 247 violent deaths on an island with a population of 200,000. These have often been political assassinations, and occasionally a settling of Mafia scores. And sometimes, on an island where corruption, violence and politics are intertwined, it is a bit of both. French Premier Lionel Jospin - wishing to break the vicious circle of relations with Corsica based mainly on criminal investigations, and intent on revitalizing its economy - laboured through the summer to reach a negotiated settlement to the conflict. As Justice Minister Elisabeth Guigou remarked: “It would have been impossible to find a solution to the Corsican issue by being inactive."

Extractions: NEWLY RELEASED POPULATION FIGURES SHOW STRONG GROWTH IN THE VIETNAMESE POPULATION OF ONTARIO, BRITISH COLUMBIA, AND THE NATION AS A WHOLE By Mark Pfeifer Mark Pfeifer is a Ph.D. Student in Geography at the University of Toronto. He is studying the Vietnamese communities in Toronto and Southern Ontario as part of his Doctoral thesis. Recently released data from the 1996 census of the Canadian population clearly show a significant increase in the Vietnamese ethnic origin population within several cities and across the entire nation. The figures were collected by Statistics Canada and include those individuals who claimed a Vietnamese ethnicity either as their sole reply or as part of a multiple response to the ethnic origin question on the census survey form. The census numbers are estimates based upon a questionnaire given to 20% of the entire Canadian population. It seems plausible to suggest that the strong growth in persons of Vietnamese ethnic origin apparent in the 1996 census figures is the consequence of several factors. These include the impressive number of family sponsorships, secondary migration to certain urban centres, and the significant rate of natural increase (births far exceeding deaths) among the overall Vietnamese population. However, the rather remarkable population expansion indicated in the data could very well be related to the probability that government census officials missed far fewer Vietnamese in 1996 compared to 1991. As the population becomes more established in Canada, Vietnamese individuals are more likely to be aware of the census and capable of understanding and filling out the census survey due to an improved knowledge of English.

Extractions: CSUN Conference Paper presented by Jutta Treviranus (March 2001) Collection of Examples of User Interface Models for Captioning "For people without disabilities, technology makes things convenient, for people with disabilities, it makes things possible." The transition to broadband networks represents a risk and an opportunity for people with disabilities. On the one hand, broadband networks provide a flexible vehicle whereby innovative display and control alternatives can be offered that afford access to users with a range of skills and needs. The interactive mechanisms that will be available over broadband networks will allow learners to customize the presentation of the learning materials (the pacing, the order, the modality, etc) while retaining a rich, engaging learning experience. Broadband will also allow the transmission of multiple modalities synchronously (video, audio, haptics, text, graphics), thereby accommodating learners who need alternative display modalities or several display modalities at one time. The risk presented by the move from restricted bandwidth networks to broadband networks is that content developers lose an important motivation to include equivalent alternatives to multimedia content. To date, steps taken by content providers to accommodate users with bandwidth restrictions, legacy browsers or mobile client software (eg, text alternatives, no-frame options, structural markup, etc.) have also made the content accessible to people with disabilities. To ensure that the move to broadband networks does not exclude a large portion of Canadian learners, inclusive tools and mechanisms need to be developed at the outset.

The ghettoization of Quebec: Interprovincial migration and its demographic effects (p. 1-21) Drawing upon the 1991 Statistics Canada Public Use Micro File (PUMF), this paper describes the nature of the interprovincial migration flows originating within Quebec and arriving in Quebec between 1986 and 1991. Both the overall population and specific personal attributes such as level of education, mother tongue and age are considered in order to determine the demographic impacts of migration on the province of Quebec. Results suggest that migration flows into and out-of the province continue a trend observed between 1976-81 and 1981-86, with an overall loss of population through migration. English speaking migrants represented a large proportion of the outmigrants and a small proportion of the inmigrants to Quebec. Quebec must rely upon return migrants as a source of population growth.

Discrete-time hazard models that account for unobserved heterogeneity are estimated using the demographic histories of the 1975/76 Jamaican Fertility Survey. The analysis indicates that marital status is an important factor in explaining differences in infant mortality. More specifically (and contrary to what is found unconditionally), infant mortality is higher in common-law (and visiting) unions compared to marriage, after other factors thought to affect infant mortality are held constant.

Extractions: CANADA PEOPLE In Canada today the Indian, Inuit, and metis (mixed Indian and French ancestry) peoples are referred to as native peoples. When the first Europeans reached North America, there probably were not more than 200,000 Indians and Inuit in what is now Canada. The population of native peoples in the mid-1990s was more than double that number. The Indian peoples are organized into tribal bands, each governed by a band council. Most bands control a tract of land called a reserve that was defined by treaties made in the past with Great Britain. In the 1960s, '70s, '80s, and '90s, some bands extended their landholdings or were paid for lands by taking the government of Canada to court. The Vikings from Northern Europe arrived on the continent in about AD 1000, but they made no long-lasting settlement ( see Vikings). It was not until the beginning of the 17th century that the French established permanent settlements in what are now the Maritime Provinces and Quebec. The British, who had established themselves in their New England colonies, moved into the interior of the continent through Hudson Bay. The fortunes of war brought almost the whole of the continent under the control of Great Britain in 1763. The American Revolution separated it again and brought about the first of many migrations of people to the nation that was to become Canada. Most of these people were of British origin.

Extractions: POPULATION BY PROVINCE/ TERRITORY March, 2002: Canada has experienced one of the smallest census-to-census growth rates in its population. From 1996 to 2001, the nation's population increased only 4.0%. The Census counted 30,007,094 people on May 15, 2001, compared with 28,846,761 on May 14, 1996. Only three provinces and one territory had growth rates above the national average. Alberta's population soared 10.3%, Ontario gained 6.1% and British Columbia, 4.9%. Nunavut's population rose 8.1%. The population of Newfoundland and Labrador declined for the second consecutive census period. Urbanization continued. In 2001, 79.4% of Canadians lived in an urban centre of 10,000 people or more, compared with 78.5% in 1996. Outside the urban centres, the population of rural and small-town areas declined 0.4%. In 2001, just over 64% of the nation's population, or about 19,297,000 people, lived in the 27 census metropolitan areas (CMAs), up slightly from 63% in 1996. Seven of these 27 CMAs saw their populations grow at a rate of at least double the national average. The strongest rise, by far, occurred in Calgary. From 1996 to 2001, the nation's population concentrated further in four broad urban regions: the extended Golden Horseshoe in southern Ontario; Montréal and environs; British Columbia's Lower Mainland and southern Vancouver Island; and the Calgary-Edmonton corridor. In 2001, 51% of Canada's population lived in these regions, compared with 49% in 1996.
