4 PROVINCIAL DISTRIBUTION OF STOCKS AND NATIVITY GROUPS As in the case of the Germanic group, greater uniformity appears to obtain in the pro- portionate distribution of the Latins and Greeks in the more populous provinces of tha Dominion. The figures seem naturally to group themselves into three classes. British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Alberta show the highest proportion, and between them the differences are slight. The same uniform tendency obtains for Ontario, Manitoba and Quebec. Those provinces stand on a lower level. The Maritime Provinces show very much smaller percentages than either of the other two sections of the country. Another important fact in connection with the Latin and Greek immigrants ascon- trasted with the other linguistic groups, is that the proportion of the population of Canada born in those countries was higher in 1921 than in 1911, and that in every province where their numbers are significant, with the exception of British Columbia, the proportions in 1921 were either as great as or greater than in 1911. Little need be said of the Slavic group* except to present the figures: — Province Percentage born in Slavic countries pg EE Vo) UES ‘es SaskatCheWAN. oii cae a Coa ABDEIta. cit ee aera aes soos DNBATIO. osteo eee eee rears SE —— — SEER CIBIIIIER. cov cn ins wn wmwionn vussimnn go bassin swis gos go Sng 8 HRs — JUBDBG, co olipuin porns rrmsss TEs ss 6 SERS OF SEEEIYE FARA HE EPOESERRET EIN SESRRER SHEER T0vB Brot, u. urna connues sarees 5 EERE OF SHEE YES SEARS 63 CRERERY SRERES SRTIREY 3 VERERRS Now Brunawll, oo i voids ins 000s 45.00005 © 6ausa £0040 oh vonbibds SERS 13 S0ARS Gain tommd Prince Edward Island.......... . —— tor marmot masa 9.79 0.0] Fluctuations in the proportions of foreign born Slavs in the populations of the various provinces, are marked. The concentration in the Prairie Provinces is worthy of notice. While in the west the proportions in 1921 were smaller than those in 1911, two provinces in the Fast showed larger proportions of their population born in Slavic countries in 1921 than ten years previously. These provinces were Ontario and Nova Scotia. The rank of the provinces according to the proportions of United States born is interesting :— Province Percentage United States born LT OP - SAKALCREWAN Liev aaa wo BEIUEI CMINBIN..o. conan comin os cnmmngiimesmse sms © serge SSEggh Spesss EEE EY Manitoba..........

FE 17-7 dns Comparing all the provinces, it is seen that Alberta and Saskatchewan had by far the largest proportions of their populations born in the United States. The percentages gradu- ally declined elsewhere, yet unlike those for any of the groups of origins previously examined, they are by no means negligible for the Maritime Provinces. For some time there has been a considerable movement of both British and French Canadian stock from the Eastern States back to Canada, and it is believed that this migration largely accounts for the percentages of American born in the far East being larger than the percentages for other immigrants. The bulk of the American immigrants in the western provinces are of British. Scandinavian and Germanic stock. Another interesting fact is brought to light in comparing the figures for 1921 with those for 1911. In British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan the proportions United States born were lower in 1921 than in 1911, but in Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and the other eastern provinces the proportions were higher. * These immigrants born in Slavie countries include a very large number who are Hebrews by origin.
