  • 2019 Election: Seat Clusters June to September Survey Results
    2019 Election: Seat Clusters June to September Survey Results August 2019 2 Overview In Canada, we count seats, not vote. Just like in American Presidential elections, you can win the popular vote and lose the election. In fact, that happened to Justin Trudeau’s father in 1979. The general way analysts address that is to look at seats by region. However, seats in the same region can move differently. This release tries to get closer to reality in the seat-by-seat contest. Our analysis combines two projects: • An analysis of federal election districts (which we call “seats”) that groups them into 14 clusters based on which parties are most competitive in those seats. Given the shifting dynamics of Canada’s party system, we have relied on only the results of the past two elections. However, to assess where the parties stand in these 14 seat clusters, we need a lot of data. • A merge of the most recent three national surveys that include federal votes, creating a unweighted total of 7,555 respondents and a weighted total of 4,900. In each of our surveys, we collect postal codes. That allows us to create a riding variable for almost all our respondents and to group their responses by the riding they are in. The deck below shows the output from the analysis. The key finding is that, with the NDP in the doldrums, the Liberals are in a strong position coming into the race. Not only have they cemented their hold on last elections core seats, they may be able to gain seats to offsets the losses they will likely experience in the Toronto and Vancouver suburbs and Atlantic Canada.

  • Death & Disease
    ATLANTIC HEALTH DATABASE PART C DEATH & DISEASE ATLANTIC HEALTH DATABASE ii Part C ─ Death & Disease NOTE This volume is a companion to Appendix C, and contains brief text descriptions, definitions, data sources, and charts to accompany the Tables in the appendix. Of particular interest are gender differences in the results, so data in the various indicator sets are presented for both males and females. This volume highlights which Atlantic region health districts have higher or lower rates of particular illnesses or causes of death according to Statistics Canada’s raw statistics. However, in many cases, sample sizes at the health district level were small, and the text does not account for the high variability that may result from wide confidence intervals. Statements comparing death and disease rates at the health district level should therefore be interpreted with caution. For most mortality and morbidity indicators, confidence intervals are provided in the accompanying appendix.1 Please see Part A for descriptions of the 21 Atlantic region health districts, which, in the case of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, do not necessarily correspond with actual health region administrative boundaries. Please note that at the time this volume was compiled, the latest available Statistics Canada mortality and morbidity data at the health district level were for 1996. As this volume went to press, 1997 mortality and 1998 morbidity data became available. Subject to interest by users, GPI Atlantic intends to have this database updated on a regular basis. 1 For example, in Section 3.1.2.2 of this volume, on ischaemic heart disease death rates, the following paragraph appears: “As with all comparative data at the health district level, these results should be interpreted with caution due to small sample sizes and correspondingly wide confidence intervals.
