GREAT site update BTW, Miguel....


Thanks! I'd been meaning to do it forever; the old one was starting to bore
even me. Hopefully I'll get around to keeping it more up to date now...

Yes, it *is* great. I am very much interested in photography. Just a
hobby, nothing professional. I have been meaning to put up a site to
show my pics. Your site is giving me encouragement -- though I wish you
had mentioned which photo was taken with which camera. Nowadays I am
experimenting with Epic Stylus about which I have heard a lot but
haven't seen many example photos online. I intend to put my photos
online just to show what the tiny camera can do ... ah, I digress.
Coming back to the point, you have a nice site up there, good work.

numbers in city and general population!


Since Toronto is Canada's largest city, it has the largest Asian population,
if you include outlying areas like Markham and Scarborough.

In terms of just numbers? or a percent of population?

The city itself? Or the greater area including surrounding cities?

Toronto

According to stats Canada, in the 2001 census
Toronto had a population of 4,647,955 and a Chinese mother tongue
population of 348,010

Vancouver in the same year had a population of 1,967,475 with a mother
tongue Chinese population of 293,065

If you include south Asian then the numbers are even higher

If you work out the percentages you will as a percentage of population
( I assume that is what you mean by concentration ) then Vancouver has
a much higher number.

Calgary , had a pop of 943,310 with 41,575 Chinese
If you include south Asian then the numbers are even higher

I am sure it is Vancouver. The Chinese immigration when Hong Kong was
returned to China was enormous. Vancouver had the second largest Chnatown
outside of China even before the influx. SF is first. Now when you look
thru the Phone Book it is amazing the number of Chinese entries. They are
great folks and citizens who have changed Vancouver for the better for over
a hundred years..

Largest concentration of Asian what? Restaurants? Money? Art? Tourists?

I thought the "Chinatown" in Calgary was really small and sterile. Nothing
like what you see in Vancouver or San Francisco.

The traditional Chinatown in Vancouver is rather small and is shrinking
and rather grubby. Chinese restaurants and shops have sprung up all
over the city and other municipalities.

I guess since Canada doesn't ask for ethnic origin like the U.S. Census
Bureau does....

Asian people (Chinese, Japanese, Loatian etc)

In Britain "Asian" means people from the Indian sub-continent.

No, they've been asking about ethnic origin for a very long time.

They still do. Ethnic origin is on the long form, which is
distributed to 1 household in 5. Mother tongue is on both the
long and the short (which goes to the other 4 out of 5 homes)
forms.

My GF has been answering "english" since she moved out though her
parents and all her forebears are german speaking,

The Statistics Canada definition of mother tongue is "first language
spoken and still understood". So if your girlfriend's first words
were "Entschulding Sie, bitte" and she still understands this, she
shoud be answering German, even if English is now the only language
she uses regularly. There are other language-related questions on
the long form only, about the language most often spoken at home,
and knowledge of official and other languages.
