Aboriginal Peoples: Statistics Canada

Statistics Canada: On Wednesday, Statistics Canada will publish the first part of its controversial National Household Survey, detailing patterns of immigration, Aboriginal Peoples, race and religion, according to CTV. Nonetheless, it's expected to offer a sophisticated and up-to-date look at the cultural mosaic that has become synonymous with the Canadian identity and OTTAWA -- Canada is about to find out how colourful a country it is. Just how vibrant the colours will be, however -- well, that's another story. The first-of-its-kind voluntary survey, which compiles responses from more than three million people, replaces the cancelled long-form census. And even Statistics Canada itself has admitted it won't match the detailed, neighbourhood-level information of its mandatory predecessor. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
