Subject: [CivicAccess-discuss] Globe and Mail: Canada Year Book is over
The Canada Year Book was one of the best statistical resources to help
provide a snapshot of a national picture of the country. Earlier versions (
19th century to 19-70s) included complete chapters on progress with
communications, transportation, agriculture and so on. Later versions were
less interesting. It was a 145 year tradition which provided a report on the
state of the nation. The year book was an excellent reference resource.
We are now being left without a compiled picture, we no longer produce
atlases, year books, and we barely collect census data and we do not report
on national issues in a cohesive way. We are moving into an era of open
access to numbers but no comprehensive story telling. Even the access to
numbers is discombobulated at best and the stories being told about them
lack grounded knowledge and integration.
