Skin color is the principle trait used, although hair, shape of head, eye fold, body build, etc are also used. When we are dealing with the concept of race we may use it biologically to refer to a breeding population or sociologically to refer to a social group. A. Conventional - 3 categories NO OBJECTIVELY CORRECT NUMBER OF RACES CAN BE GIVEN! B. Race as a social fact - a race exists when people say it exists. People act toward each other on the basis of conceptions and ideas about race, not on the basis of the biological entity. C. Ethnic group - Any kind of human group, racial or otherwise, which is socially differentiated to an important degree and has developed its own subculture. These are culturally distinct groups.

    Extractions: Attachment to Canada One of the most comprehensive surveys on attitudes towards multiculturalism in Canada was conducted by the Angus Reid Group in 1991 (1). About 3,325 Canadians were interviewed and asked a wide range of questions about their ethnic identity and pride in being Canadian. "The statement: 'you can be proud of being Canadian and proud of your ancestry at the same time' received a virtually unanimous believability rating" (1:5). Approximately 95% of Canadians agreed with this statement. Regardless of their ethnic backgrounds, the vast majority (78%) believed that Canadians share many values in common and 91% felt that these values are important in binding people together as a nation. Also, almost three-quarters of Canadians (73%) believed that the multiculturalism policy ensured that people from different backgrounds had a sense of belonging to Canada. It should also be noted that 89% of those interviewed identified themselves as Canadians and only 6% used any other form of identification. Two economic studies of the effects of Canada's multiculturalism policy were carried out by the Economic Council of Canada in the early 1990s (2). These studies concluded that integration (as a central goal of the multiculturalism policy) leads to greater participation of immigrants in the host society while maintaining their cultural identity. Assimilation, on the other hand, puts pressure on them to give up their cultural identity as the price for acceptance by the host society. The reports also suggest that Canada's multiculturalism policy

    Extractions: Thursday, April 18, 2002 WASHINGTON In a friendly fire incident, the United States dropped at least one 500-pound, laser-guided bomb on Canadian troops near Kandahar, Afghanistan, killing at least four soldiers, U.S. officials said late Wednesday. Approximately eight other Canadian soldiers were wounded. It is possible that a U.S. Air National Guard F-16 fighter jet dropped not just one, but two, bombs on the Canadian troops at around 1:55 a.m. Thursday, Afghanistan time, according to a statement by U.S. Central Command. A Central Command spokesman, Maj. Bryan Hilferty, said the incident is under investigation, and he expressed condolences to the Canadians' families. In other developments, Afghanistan returns to two traditional symbols of power this week the king and the loya jirga.

    Extractions: Pier 21 Article Two by Naomi Klein Last week, Neil Bissoondath wrote that we in Canada have made such a fetish of other cultures and traditions that for many of us, "Canadianness is only skin deep." Our "real" selves are rooted in idealized versions of elsewhere, anywhere but here. The description struck a chord with me. As the child of two Jewish Americans of Eastern European descent, I have often looked elsewhere (to the U.S., Israel, Europe) and felt the strange arbitrariness of nationality, felt it to be very unreal indeed. Mr. Bissoondath suggests that the unreality of our Canadianness flows from ignorance: we lack identity as a nation because we have no connection to our past. But what if, in trying to forge a deeper connection with this place, our past is not our friend, but our enemy? What if to know Canada's history - not the feel-good, heroic version, but the messy, often wrenching truth - is to know that one's inclusion in this country has only ever been skin deep? For many Canadians, particularly those not of British or French descent, that is exactly what they would find if they looked at the nation's past, and even much of its present. Canada has forged an identity grounded in a lie. The lie holds that we possess an essential national character beyond our common history of stolen land and immigration; that we are not, in fact, a nation of proud mutts, outcasts and adventurers.

70. Anastasia's Dissertation
    The remigration of second generation Greek canadians challenges the efforts ofthe canadian government to preserve the cultural heritage of ethnic groups.  
    http://www.uweb.ucsb.edu/~panagako/dissert.html
    
    Extractions: This project investigates remigration among second generation Greek Canadians and how the influences of family, community and society shape the decision to remain in Canada or migrate to Greece. Using methods such as interviews and participant-observation, I explore such factors as age, gender, class, education, travel to Greece, and involvement in the Greek community and larger Canadian society. The objective is to understand remigration as a result of ethnic identity formation in Canada and its consequences on the individual and the community. Born and raised in a privileged society with access to higher education, advanced medical care, and economic advantages unparalleled in much of the world, what motivates these individuals to abandon their place in Canadian society for an uncertain future in Greece, a country with fewer economic opportunities and a history of political instability? In this project I explore the possible influences of ethnic identity in contributing to this emerging form of migration. Ethnic identity is shaped by immigrant parents, Canadian institutions such as public schools, the Greek Canadian community, and interactions with Greece through satellite television and the Internet (Scourby 1982, Kourvetaris 1997, Tastsoglou and Stubos 1992, Moskos 1989, Xenocostas 1991). This study will help to identify which of these factors lead some to migrate to Greece while others choose to remain in Canada.

Visible minorities : The 2001 Census provides information on the characteristics of people in Canada who are members of a visible minority, as defined by the Employment Equity Act. The Act defines visible minorities as "persons, other than Aboriginal peoples, who are non-Caucasian in race or non-white in colour". Under this definition, regulations specify the following groups as visible minorities: Chinese, South Asians, Blacks, Arabs, West Asians, Filipinos, Southeast Asians, Latin Americans, Japanese, Koreans and other visible minority groups, such as Pacific Islanders. Ethnic origin , as defined in the Census, refers to the ethnic or cultural group(s) to which the respondent's ancestors belong. An ancestor is someone from whom a person is descended, and is usually more distant than a grandparent. Ethnic origin pertains to the ancestral "roots" or background of the population, and should not be confused with citizenship or nationality. A single ethnic response occurs when a respondent provides one ethnic origin only. For example, in 2001, 726,300 people stated that their only ethnic origin was Italian. Since 1981, when respondents were first permitted to report more than one ethnic origin in the census, a distinction has been made between single and multiple responses.

    Extractions: INTRODUCTION The ARL Annual Salary Survey 1995-96 reports salary data for all professional staff working in ARL libraries. It is the most comprehensive and thorough guide to current salaries in large U.S. and Canadian academic and research libraries, and a valuable management and research tool that describes salaries for librarians. This year's publication follows the general format of previous years with the following changes. Three questions from Part I of the survey instrument were withdrawn this year. These questions asked libraries to report revised beginning, average, and median salaries for the previous year, and the revised figures were what had been reported in Tables 5, 7 and 9. The ARL Statistics and Measurement Committee, with feedback from the Salary Survey Coordinators in ARL institutions, agreed that these data were no longer useful. The title of this year's publication also reflects this change, in that the year is "1995-96" instead of "1995" to reflect that the data are being reported only for fiscal year 1995-96. Tables 5, 7, and 9 are simply reprints rather than revisions. Another minor change was implemented in Table The first group of libraries includes those institutions that report over 120 staff positions instead of over 124. Readers who compared their institutions against the first and second groups should note this change, which was made because the number of cases otherwise is disproportionately small in the first column.

    There were no suicides among Native canadian females, while there were 11 suicidesamong all other ethnic groups (ageadjusted rate of 2.6 per 100,000).  
    http://www.gnb.ca/0208/suicide97-e.asp
    
    Extractions: Home Services Department Introduction Suicide was the first cause of death among New Brunswickers aged 25 to 29 years in 1996. It accounted for 27% of all deaths in this age group (1). Previous analysis showed an increasing trend in the adjusted overall suicide rates from a low of 9.5 per 100,000 population in 1987 to a high of 16.2 per 100,000 population in 1995 (2). In 1996, a reduction in the unadjusted overall and male suicide rates was reported (3). The overall suicide rate in New Brunswick (12.3 per 100,000 population) for that year was lower than the national average (13.1 per 100,000 population) for the same period (2). In 1996 the overall suicide rate for New Brunswick ranked fourth after the Northwest Territories, Yukon Territory, and Quebec (4). The Provincial Epidemiology Service (PES) of New Brunswick produces reports on suicide periodically. The aim of PES activities in the field of suicide is to monitor suicide, and to identify population groups at high risk of suicide in the province. At the same time, PES is committed to assist health professionals in developing suicide prevention strategies and interventions.

    Extractions: Editor's Column Volume 17, Number 3, 1992 Back to the Table of Contents The Canadian Communication Association's tenth conference in Charlottetown was a great success even though participation was not as strong as it is during those years when the Learneds meet in the centre of the country. However, it is exactly these east- and west-coast venues which draw our attention to geography as an important factor in the theorizing about and the practice of Canadian communication studies. The meeting was poignant as well because it focused on the issue of ``Nation and Community,'' a debate which has not only preoccupied all of us throughout the past year, but which has yielded a number of interesting papers which we look forward to publishing in future issues. Journal for the coming year. Finally, on a sadder note, I regret to inform our readers of the death of the Journal's founder and first editor, Earle J. Beattie. After a successful career as a journalist in Canada and abroad, Professor Beattie taught at Ryerson Polytechnical Institute, the University of Western Ontario, and York University. He retired from York University in 1982. It was Earle Beattie's vision and enthusiasm for the field of communication studies that got this Journal started in the mid-1970s and kept it going in the difficult early years. The best tribute I believe we can pay to Earle is to keep the

The departmental category of courses recognizes the fact that the disciplines of sociology and sociocultural anthropology have developed in tandem and it is possible to identify large areas of overlap and convergence in the work of practitioners both historically and in the present. Departmental courses include most of the core theory and methods courses as well as many elective courses.
