The Canadian contribution and data set prepared as part of the Global Media and Internet Concentration (GMIC) project offers an independent academic, empirical and data-driven analysis of a deceptively simple yet profoundly important question: have telecom, media and internet markets become more concentrated over time, or less? Media Ownership and Concentration is presented from more than a dozen sectors of the telecom-media-internet industries, including film, music and book industries. Note (22/01/2024): Small editorial changes were made throughout the report to clean up and improve the text. Small revisions to the estimates of the internet advertising revenue for some Canadian firms were also made to reflect newly available data. Those revisions were small and have no consequences for the analysis. Figures 1, 23, 25, 37, 40 and 41 were revised to reflect these changes.

This presentation provides an update on the status of research data preservation initiatives in Canada.

This repository contains predictive maps of mud content, carbon content, dry bulk density and organic carbon density in surficial seabed sediments of the Canadian continental margin. These each include the mean predictions as well as the lower and upper uncertainty bounds. Additionally, data are presented from a systematic data review of organic carbon content in seabed sediments across Canada, and from two regional case studies on the influence of the predicted distribution of rock habitats. All the associated code used for data manipulations, model building and predictive mapping are also published herein. Data are organised across five folders. Please see the individual readme files within each folder and the associated published paper for further information.

This is a listing of Indigenous periodicals (newspapers, newsletters, magazines, and journals), arranged by title. It primarily includes material published in Canada, but also encompasses some titles from American states bordering Canada. The scope aims to include publications by Indigenous communities and organizations, and to exclude known material produced by governments and non-Indigenous organizations. The inventory represents known publications across Canada based on sources from OCLC, and known listings of these publications within the community. All items in the list are held in Canadian libraries, archives, and museums. The accuracy of these lists is unknown and not validated by Indigenous communities to our knowledge. The source data lists reflect the work of academic institutions describing the materials in their holdings. Indigenous communities may be listed as the primary creator, but this can only be validated upon investigation with the source materials and with Indigenous communities. The intent is threefold: to promote a list of Indigenous publications, and where they can be consulted or searched; to track digitization work by Canadian institutions and groups and facilitate digitization efforts in collaboration with relevant Indigenous communities; and to enable easy additions to, and corrections of, the list. It is important to note that this is not a search tool for the contents of the publications, but merely an inventory of titles, along with locations of the print and digital holdings. Data headings are Title, Title Family, In Scope, Status, Source of Information, Publisher/Issuing Org., Place of Publication, Province/State, Country, Print Run/Holdings, Notes, ISSN, OCLC Identifiers, Online, Format, Digitization Status, Canadian Repository Holdings, Language. For definitions of the headings, see The Dataset Document Workbook. This list stems from efforts by the Indigenous Historical Publications Working Group, working on behalf of the Council of Prairie and Pacific University Libraries (COPPUL). Input by Indigenous individuals, communities, organizations and publishers, as well as all researchers, libraries, archives, and museums is eagerly sought and welcomed. Please contact us for more information, comments, or to provide updates.

Abstract: Efforts are underway in Canada to set aside terrestrial lands for conservation, thereby protecting them from anthropogenic pressures. Here we produce the first Canadian human footprint map by combining twelve different anthropogenic pressures and identify intact and modified lands and ecosystems across the country. Our results showed strong spatial variation in pressures across the country, with just 18% of Canada experiencing measurable human pressure. However, some ecosystems are experiencing very high pressure, such as the Great Lakes Plains and Prairies national ecological areas which have over 75% and 56% of their areas, respectively, with a high human footprint. In contrast, the Arctic and Northern Mountains have less than 0.02% and 0.2% of their extent under high human footprint. A validation of the final map, using random statistical sampling, resulted in a Cohen Kappa statistic of 0.91, signifying an ‘almost perfect’ agreement between the human footprint and the validation data set. By increasing the number and accuracy of mapped pressures, our map demonstrates much more widespread pressures in Canada than were indicated by previous global mapping efforts, demonstrating the value in specific national data applications. Ecological areas with immense anthropogenic pressure, highlight challenges that may arise when planning for ecologically representative protected areas.

The Canadian Digital Health Survey is a series of surveys conducted annually commissioned by Canada Health Infoway (Infoway) through a third-party vendor. Overall, the main objective of these surveys is to investigate interest and use of digital health technologies nationwide.

An aggregated dataset of methane emission measurements from Canadian oil and gas sites. Measurements were collected between 2007 and 2020, using a variety of techniques and sensors. The dataset consists of both published and unpublished measurements, and includes details such as site and/or component type(s), site location (approximate), measurement date, measurement technique, and quantified rate.

In a research note published in CJPS, we propose a new typology of geographic places for use in advancing Canadian politics research on the political effects of place. We use hierarchical cluster analysis to inductively derive place types from Aggregate Dissemination Areas (ADAs), a fine-grained unit of geography covering all of Canada, newly available from Statistics Canada. Using this approach, we uncover seven distinct place types, adding nuance to earlier more aggregated approaches focused on urban-rural (or urban-suburban-rural) distinctions. Here, we make these data available for other researchers

This dataset contains a comprehensive and comparable database of Canadian emissions reduction policies across federal, provincial and territorial orders of government. The dataset comprises two database files (both .csv and .xlsx formats) in English and French. Source data is primarily in text format and from a variety of government and non-government sources. These sources include federal biennial reports to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC); provincial, territorial, and federal climate plans; and past work by Navius Research Inc. and the Canadian Climate Institute to build a Canadian climate policy tracker. Policy information is converted into textual categories in the database according to the codebook developed by the research team and attached to this dataset. Relevant policies are those targeting climate change mitigation (e.g., emissions reductions such as emissions pricing or the Clean Fuel Regulations), and policies to change energy use and sources (e.g., subsidizing renewable energy sources). This database is a project of the Canadian Climate Policy Partnership (C2P2). The goal of C2P2 is to inform smart, coherent and new policy options to meet Canada’s net zero transition by engaging in data-driven research on and analysis of climate policies in Canada, and supporting such activities in a broader network of researchers. For more information on C2P2, please visit the project webpage: https://spp.ucalgary.ca/school-public-policy/research/energy-and-environmental-policy/canadian-climate-policy-partnership-c2p2. The project README file contains further information on data format and versioning practices. Further details about C2P2 and the database can be found in a methodology paper, available in English only, on the Social Science Research Network (SSRN). An abridged methodology document, available in both English and French, is available on PRISM, the institutional repository of the University of Calgary. Both are linked in the Related Publications section of the database metadata.
