  • THE ECONOMY of CANADA in the NINETEENTH CENTURY Marvin Mcinnis
    2 THE ECONOMY OF CANADA IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY marvin mcinnis FOUNDATIONS OF THE NINETEENTH- CENTURY CANADIAN ECONOMY For the economy of Canada it can be said that the nineteenth century came to an end in the mid-1890s. There is wide agreement among observers that a fundamental break occurred at about that time and that in the years thereafter Canadian economic development, industrialization, population growth, and territorial expansion quickened markedly. This has led economic historians to put a special emphasis on the particularly rapid economic expansion that occurred in the years after about 1896. That emphasis has been deceptive and has generated a perception that little of consequence was happening before 1896. W. W. Rostow was only reflecting a reasonable reading of what had been written about Canadian economic history when he declared the “take-off” in Canada to have occurred in the years between 1896 and 1913. That was undoubtedly a period of rapid growth and great transformation in the Canadian economy and is best considered as part of the twentieth-century experience. The break is usually thought to have occurred in the mid-1890s, but the most indicative data concerning the end of this period are drawn from the 1891 decennial census. By the time of the next census in 1901, major changes had begun to occur. It fits the available evidence best, then, to think of an early 1890s end to the nineteenth century. Some guidance to our reconsideration of Canadian economic devel- opment prior to the big discontinuity of the 1890s may be given by a brief review of what had been accomplished by the early years of that decade.

I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives.

Department of Political Science The University of British Columbia 20 75 Wesbrook Place Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 Date May 10. 3 976 ii ABSTRACT This thesis examines the forces behind British Columbia's entry into the Canadian Federation in 1871 by examining the historical and structural circumstances surrounding the relative stages of economic development in the Colony and the British metropolis. The thesis argues that British Columbia's entry into Confederation occured within the total framework of capitalist expansion in the nineteenth century. It occured within the context of Bri• tish imperialism. The instruments of British imperialism and the character of economic development in the hinterland region of the Pacific Northwest, however, changed as the economic structure of England changed.

  • Niagara Agricultural Profile
    NIAGARA AGRICULTURE PROFILE INTRODUCTION Agriculture is a very important sector in Niagara both culturally and economically. Niagara has long been known as an agricultural powerhouse in Ontario, specifically for tender fruit and floriculture production. In recent years, the region continues to diversify and produce higher value agricultural outputs. As of 2016, Niagara was home to 1,827 farms covering 218,251 acres of farmland. Although from 2011 to 2016 the number of farms and farmland area decreased, average farms in Niagara increased in size to produce higher value farm products while continuing to diversify and access new market opportunities. During this same time period, the average farm size in Niagara increased by 7.2% from 111 acres to 119 acres, while gross farm receipt value per acre increased by 17.9% from $3,256 to $3,850. Niagara’s agricultural sector also represents a major portion of the value of gross farm receipts in the Golden Horseshoe region of southern Ontario and is becoming increasingly more significant. In 2016, gross farm receipts in Niagara totaled $838.1 million, which was a 15.5% increase over 2011. This represents 42.8% of the gross farm receipts in the Golden Horseshoe region. Niagara farms area also investing more in farm capital, which includes land, buildings, animals, equipment, machinery and technology. In 2016, average farm capital was $2,133,650, which was a 48.9% increase, or $700,863 more than 2011. Although the agricultural sector in Niagara is showing significant economic gains, there are some major challenges on the horizon. As of 2016, the average age of a farm operator in Niagara was 56 years and has been increasing consistently.
