DISTRIBUTION OF IMMIGRANT STOCKS BY PROVINCES 21 mately 50 p.c. in the far West. In the eastern provinces and British Columbia the propor- tion of the population of British birth (outside Canada) is much greater than the propor- tion of foreign birth; in Manitoba, the numbers are almost equal; in Saskatchewan there are twice as many foreign born immigrants as immigrants from the British Isles; and in Alberta the preponderance of the foreign born is also marked. though not to quite the same extent. (See Chart 6.) By way of illustration, a few additional facts are presented. The province of Ontario showed in actual numbers as many British born immigrants as the entire West, while the four western provinces, with a combined population smaller than Ontario, had three times as many foreign born residents. In Ontario three-quarters of the immigrants were of British birth and one-quarter foreign. In Alberta and Saskatchewan, two-thirds of the immigrants were born in foreign countries and only one-third were of British birth. In Manitoba half of the immigrants born were from foreign European countries and three- quarters of these were from South, East and Central Europe, nine-tenths of whom were irom Slavic countries. In each of the three Prairie Provinces, the South, East and Central Europeans outnumbered those from Germanic and Scandinavian countries combined by from two to three times. Not only has the composition of the population of Canada radically changed since 1901, but what is of equal importance from the standpoint of Canadian unity, a progressive dif- ferentiation between East and West has taken place in population structure. That differ ence will not only be permanent, but must increase, if immigration and natural increase (or either) continue on the existing scale.
