White majority Alberta is thankfully diminishing slowly but surely
Auld Bob
and analysis on the latest portrait of Canada’s ethnocultural mosaic,
as well as on Canadians’ commuting patterns and places of work.
Ethnic Origin: Census data show that British Isles and European
origins dominate in Alberta, but Aboriginal origins were also among
the top ten most frequently reported. In 2006, 45.7% of the population
of the province reported some British Isles origins, either as their
only ethnic ancestry or in combination with others. 48.8% reported
other European origins, while 7.5% reported at least some Aboriginal
ancestry.
The most frequently reported ancestries in Alberta in 2006, as either
single or multiple responses, and the percentage of the total
population they represented in 2006, were: English (27.2%), German
(20.9%), Canadian (20.5%), Scottish (20.3%), Irish (16.6%), French
(11.9%), Ukrainian (10.2%), Dutch {Netherlands} (5.3%), Polish (5.2%)
and North American Indian (5.2%). The 2006 Census enumerated 255,885
individuals with at least some Aboriginal ancestry in Alberta (169,355
North American Indian, 83,235 Métis, and 3,295 Inuit).
Visible Minorities: Alberta was home to 454,200 people belonging to a
visible minority group in 2006, up from 329,925 in 2001. These
individuals represented 13.9% of the province’s total population in
2006, the third highest proportion of visible minorities in the Canada
after British Columbia (24.8%) and Ontario (22.8%), In 2001, visible
minorities accounted for 11.2% of the population of Alberta.
Between 2001 and 2006, Alberta’s visible minority population increased
by 37.7%, more than three times faster than the 10.7% growth rate of
the province during this period.
Chinese was the largest visible minority group in Alberta, accounting
for about one in four visible minorities living in the province in
2006. 3.7% of Alberta’s total population were members of the Chinese
visible minority group in 2006, the third highest proportion in the
country after British Columbia (10.0%) and Ontario (4.8%). Alberta’s
South Asian visible minority group represented 3.2% of the province’s
total population, also the third highest proportion in Canada after
Ontario (6.6%) and British Columbia (6.4%).
In 2006, 26.5% of Alberta’s total visible minority population were
members of the Chinese visible minority group (120,270), 22.9% South
Asian (103,885), 11.2% Filipino (51,090), 10.4% Black (47,075), 6.3%
Southeast Asian (28,610), and 6.0% Latin American (27,265).
The vast majority (91%) of Alberta’s visible minority population lived
in one of the province’s two census metropolitan areas (CMAs), Calgary
and Edmonton.
The 2006 Census counted 237,890 individuals who belonged to a visible
minority group in the CMA of Calgary, an increase of 44.3% over 2001.
At 22.2%, Calgary had the fourth highest proportion of visible
minorities among Canada’s 33 census metropolitan areas in 2006.
Chinese was the largest visible minority group in the CMA of Calgary
(66,400), accounting for 6.2% of the total population, and 27.9% of
the visible minority population of the CMA. In 2006, the proportion of
Chinese in Calgary was the third highest in Canada, behind Vancouver
and Toronto. Calgary’s Chinese population increased 28.0% since 2001.
South Asian was the second largest visible minority group in Calgary
in 2006 (57,700), accounting for 5.4% of Calgary’s total population,
and 24.3% of its visible minority population. Calgary’s South Asian
population increased by 56.5% between 2001 and 2006.
Visible minorities accounted for 17.1% of Edmonton’s total population
in 2006, up from 14.6% in 2001. This was the fifth highest proportion
among Canada’s census metropolitan areas. Reaching 175,295 in 2006,
Edmonton’s visible minority population grew by 29.1% between 2001 and
2006, almost three times faster than the 10.6% growth rate for the
overall population of Edmonton.
Chinese comprised the largest visible minority group in Edmonton,
representing 4.6% of Edmonton’s total population, and 26.9% of the
CMA’s visible minority population. South Asian was the second largest
visible minority group in Edmonton, representing 3.9% of Edmonton’s
total population, and 22.9% of its visible minority population.
Commuting Patterns: Census data shows that the median distance
travelled by Alberta workers to get to work increased by 0.7
kilometres over the previous 10 years, rising from 6.9 kilometres in
1996 to 7.1 kilometres in 2001 and to 7.6% kilometres in 2006, the
same as the median commuting distance at the national level. Albertans
have the fourth longest commute in Canada, after workers in Ontario
(8.7 km), Nova Scotia (8.4 km) and Quebec (7.8 km).
About 157,500 more workers were driving to work in Alberta in 2006,
but the overall proportion of workers driving to work decreased in the
past five years, from 76.2% in 2001 to 74.3% in 2006.
The proportion of commuters using public transit to get to work in
Alberta continues to increase - from 7.7% in 1996, to 7.9% in 2001,
and 9.2% in 2006. At the same time, with a rate of 5.9%, Alberta had
the second lowest proportion of workers who walked to work in Canada,
after Ontario (5.6%). 1.1% of Albertans bicycled to work in 2006, down
from 1.2% in 2001.
The median commuting distance for workers who live in Calgary was 8.2
kilometres in 2006, up from 7.7 km in 2001. This ranks Calgary fifth
out of Canada’s 33 census metropolitan areas for commuting distance.
The percentage of workers using public transit in Calgary increased
from 12.6% in 1996 to 13.2% in 2001, and increased to 15.6% in 2006.
Calgary ranks fifth out of Canada’s census metropolitan areas for
public transit use.
The median commuting distance for workers who live in Edmonton was 7.8
kilometres in 2006, up slightly from 7.6 km in 2001. The share of
public transit use in Edmonton increased from 9.0% in 1996 to 8.7% in
2001 and 9.7% in 2006. Edmonton ranks tenth out of Canada’s census
metropolitan areas for public transit use.
Places of Work: The proportion of workers in Alberta whose usual place
of work was their home has fallen over the past five years, from 10.3%
in 2001 to 8.9%. Between 2001 and 2006, Alberta experienced a 33.8%
increase in the number of workers with no fixed workplace address, the
largest percentage change in Canada after Newfoundland and Labrador,
at 41.3%. In 2001, 11.8% of Alberta workers had no fixed workplace
address; this increased to 13.7% in 2006, the highest rate in Canada.
As a consequence of Alberta's booming economy, more people worked in
this province while having their usual place of residence in another.
In 2006, 1.1% of workers whose usual place of residence was in
Newfoundland and Labrador actually worked in Alberta. This was
considerably higher than the proportion of 0.3% in 2001. About 1.7% of
workers whose usual place of residence was in Saskatchewan worked in
Alberta in 2006, up from 1.2% five years earlier.
Comprehensive data as well as two analytical articles titled “Canada’s
Ethnocultural Mosaic, 2006 Census” and “Community Patterns and Places
of Work of Canadians, 2006 Census” respectively are now available at
Statistics Canada’s website (www.statcan.ca). A variety of thematic
maps on place of work and mode of transportation are also available.

You have every right to express your opinions on all public forums and in
the language of your choice.
Your posting, however, indicates a level of ignorance that is abysmal.
soc.culture.quebec is a french speaking group. Of course you can post in
English or Chinese or classical greek to your heart's content, but the
impact of your intervention will be ignored or perceived as irrelevant. You
decision to post to this group indicates a problem with your left or right
frontal cortex or watchyouwant to call it thingy under your oily hair and
stuff.
I was not surprised that you could spell dimwits. On the other hand, you
should learn how to spell "socialist'' and ''believe'' (i before e, except
after c....duh) before posting to a french group and disgracing the language
of Shakespeare, Milton, Coleridge and William Blake etc...pleaseeeeeee. (
and Yes, I am a french canadian qu�becois:))
Also, if you will allow me, I suggest that you expand your horizons in terms
of factual information. The Economists, a british monthly magazine, which
is recognized across the world, as the most prestigious and respected
publication in the area of economic reporting and analysis has identified
for five years in a row, Statistics Canada as the best and the most reliable
statistical agency in the world. It is a recognized jewel that belong to
every canadian. It is not a rag. Simply put, you do not know what you are
talking about, making my intervention a complete waste of time. But that's
OK. Like we all do, I often talk to myself.
Please do not answer back! You are already just a brief spark that ignited
briefly two of my average human being's neurons and I am sure that I will
forget about you as I press the send button. I hope that in the future, you
will limit yourself to english speaking groups since as a cultural group,
from the Magna Carta onwards (Bless their hearts),they have demonstrated an
exemplary tolerance to free speech (Hyde Park).
God Bless You!

Not at all, you see governments inflate Statistics for more taxes, just as
feminist do, to get more government funding, you know Magical Shimmer Pixie

Well if you got yourself out from under that rock garden gnome as all your
doing is spreading smiles every minute with FlowGo's cute cartoons and funny
videos. Now most if not all information coming out of quebec is all based on
some kind of magical pixie dust and is used to hood wink the rest of canada
into beleiving in a inflated balloon floating gracefully above a magical
garden, while shimmering with fairy light that most dimwits in quebec seem
to rely on. In other words while tucking your eldest into bed You say the
following words: "I am sprinkling you with magical pixie dust, so that you
have beautiful dreams and and can beleif in magical government propaganda.

Well that say it all about you......Look how bad you want Global governance,
but it's not what you think it is.
Your far-reaching argument based on nonsense that you hold, not only asks
people to completely rethink how everyone view the political world, as in
your fanasty world where you think qu�becois is going somewhere, but I hate
to break it too you honey, but that little greedy money grabbing province
will lose it identy soon enough with the NWO. It's a collection of nation
states that communicate through puppet presidents, Puppet prime ministers,
foreign ministers bowing down to it's grand masters, and the United Nations
that does nothing but whine. It's a clique of NGOs. It is governance through
a complex global web of "government network terrorist."
And you pretend this authoritative description todate of a world in which
government officials, police investigators, financial regulators, even
judges and legislators, exchange information and coordinate activity across
national borders to tackle crime, terrorism, and the routine daily grind of
international interactions to control the people. National and international
judges and regulators can also work closely together to enforce
international agreements more effectively than ever before. These networks,
which can range from a group of constitutional judges exchanging opinions
across borders to more established organisations such as the G8 or the
International Association of Insurance Supervisors, make things happen, and
they frequently make bad things happen. But they are worse, unable to
address the challenges facing the world today.

Really!
Auld Bob's the antithesis of Crap Detector. One is so far left that it's
just brutally insane to accept his values, standards and dreams; the 'crap" is
so far right that he is the mirror image from the other side.
A couple of crazy old men, two sides of the same coin. And I apologize to
anyone who is male and that old who dosen't think like they do!
Judge Judy
The statistics do not reflect the demographics of voters in Alberta.
The majority of Albertans fit in two categories, Gypsies and Rednecks.
The gypsies don't go out to vote, while the rednecks do.
The majority of voters in Alberta are elderly, white, redneck bigots
of English decent. These bigots identify with the conservatives and,
hell or high water will always vote conservative. The conservatives
are always guaranteed 40% of the popular vote. The Alberta
conservatives could introduce a sales tax, get rid of medicate, cut
the money to municipalities, create all sorts of self serving
boondoggle, get caught doing illegal activities and still would get
a majority in Alberta.
In recent elections, college and university students have shown the
worst turnout at the polls. They no longer seem to get upset when
their tuition fees go up. Either the tuition hikes have been going on
too long, (since Lougheed was Premier) or as long as Daddy's money is
being spent for their tuition, they do not feel any connection with
yearly the tuition fee hikes or care about politics.
