30 PROVINCIAL DISTRIBUTION OF STOCKS AND NATIVITY GROUPS a THE BIRTHPLACES OF THE POPULATION BY PROVINCES ) Table 43 (p. 96) shows the distribution of the population by birthplace for Canada and she provinces, in 1911 and 1921. Tables 44 and 45 arrange the data for the European born by geographical and linguistic groups and Table 46 presents a summary for Canada and the Provinces. The information in these rather formidable tables may best be presented by the use of charts. The nine provinces, arranged in order of the percentage of their population Canadian born in 1921, are as follows (See chart 27) :— Province Percentage Canadian born Prince Edward Island............. 7.22 New Brunswick............... ........ 2-47 Quebec..........,.....

British Columbia..................................... erste sw ws Ge wes ox wan oa 0 JIE The first point to note is the wide range of fluctuations in the proportions. The per- centage of Canadian born is almost twice as high in Prince Edward Island as in British Columbia. Indeed from Quebec east the proportion of native Canadians is on an entirely different level from west of Ontario. Changes in population structure in the Eastern Prov- inces are thus going on very slowly, but as we move westward from Ontario the population appears to be in an increasing state of flux. The percentage of Canadian born fluctuates 50 violently that the traveller finds on reaching the Pacific coast that he has passed from the far East where less than 3 p.c. of the population was born outside of Canada to the axtreme West, where nearly half consists of immigrants. A comparison of the proportions Canadian born in 1911 and 1921 by provinces (Table 16) shows that the provinces stand in the same rank at the last two Census dates, though she proportions of Canadian born are slightly less in 1911 than in 1921 in the East and con- siderably less in the provinces from Ontario west. Chart 27 also shows the proportions of the population born in the British Isles at the date of the 1921 census. The provinces arraneed in order are as follows: —— Percentage British born British Columbia..... + 4 sees 29-31 Manitoba..................... _ SERA ERE £3 rlnon wun vnie: ABDE RIDIN orc wiiricion ain 962535500 27% SURES Hr SORES 08 BA rth nomeeincs son srssrns 1 vinewe we meni wor sevian sw NOUS III, ovine wt ps 4% SERIES EET ve erresns wo soon vor erence we mrcmrmtOns SE —— "35 Saskatchewan. ...............ooooeii i —— ‘ Ep QUEBEC... iii A — "9 NOVA SCO overeat ianainaannnnns 4% 8 16 New Brunswick. ............................. FE 2-46 Prince Edward Island...............oooiviiiiiiii ie 0-94 Attention again is directed to the wide range of the percentages. In contrast with the pre- vious table, the proportion of the population born in the British Isles is very much heavier from Ontario west, as compared with Quebec and the Maritimes. The proportion of British immigrants in the population of the five western provinces is four to eight times as great as in Quebec, which shows the highest percentage of any of the four eastern provinces. Thus the effect of British immigration in the past generation on the composition of the population in the various provinces has been to give & more than proportionate number of settlers to she provinces from Ontario west. In 1921 British Columbia showed the largest percentage of her population born in the British Isles. While Ontario, as will be shown later, has received a much greater total number of British immigrants than any other province, her population is several times as large as that of any western province, so that British immi- grants, though great in numbers, constitute only a moderate percentage of her total popu- lation. In comparison with the other western provinces, it seems that Saskatchewan has, not been receiving a proportionate share of British immigration. Table 46 shows that in 1911 Saskatchewan had a somewhat larger percentage of British immigrants than Ontario, but the situation was reversed by 1921. In all provinces except Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia, there was a lower proportion of the population born in the British Isles in 1921 than in 1911 Province
