Abstract

"Northern Ontario in historical statistics, 1871–2021" by David Leadbeater explores the demographic and socio-economic changes in Northern Ontario since the late 19th century. The region's economy has historically relied on resource extraction, leading to a decline in population and employment. Leadbeater highlights the colonial and racial biases affecting the accuracy of statistics in Northern Ontario, shedding light on the challenges faced by the population. The book, primarily based on census data, is a valuable resource for researchers and scholars interested in understanding the unique context of Northern Ontario's development and disparities.
