Notice ...

  • During the 1910s Canada made the transition from being a predominantly rural country to being predominantly urban.

Consider!

  • Through two-thirds of the 20th century the rural population actually increased, even as its proportion decreased.
  • The trend shown here may not have persisted in the half century since 1961.
