This QGIS tutorial covers joining datasets by attributes, using common entries to join fields between two or more layers. These procedures can be applied to link attribute information in two vector layers, or – as shown in the tutorial – to link table datasets to a vector layer.

Description:

Following up from the previous tutorial on one-to-one joins by attributes, today we’ll discuss the second type – the one-to-many join, where there are many rows or features for one corresponding feature geometry. We’ll demonstrate these procedures using the Farm Classified by Total Farm Capital table, which includes the number of farms reporting in six separate capital categories for each corresponding boundary. The table also requires some formatting in an external editor, including extracting the join information which is not unusual for performing joins or integrating Statistics Canada tables with vector data presently.

In this follow-up QGIS tutorial on visualizing vector data, we’ll cover rule-based symbologies and labelling schemes, available symbology file formats and creating advanced labels with expression syntax. Follow along as we develop rule-based styles and symbology files with the CPRoads layer – creating a dynamic visualization of different road classes that changes with the scale of the map canvas. Rule-based symbologies and labels are incredibly powerful in creating advanced visualizations – enabling the specific parameters (e.g. fields, symbols, sizes, colours, outlines, and rendering scales) to be targeted for different features. A complementary skill is exporting these styles with available symbology files – which can be independent (.qlm) or directly tied to a source layer (.qlr). These pre-defined visualization files enable layers to be rapidly visualized when opening a new project. They can also be applied to other layers with common visualization parameters (i.e. fields and attributes), such as those from a different collection period or location, and facilitate sharing visualization styles with others. Finally, we’ll discuss the available label parameters (e.g. placement, scale, buffer, formatting) and discuss creating advanced labelling schemes – specifically showing the procedures for creating multi-field labels with the Field Calculator and conditional labels using expressions.

The study used data from the Uniform Crime Reporting Survey to identify those offences which account for differences between rates of crime reported by police serving majority Indigenous populations when compared with police serving predominantly non-Indigenous populations. In addition, the article examines the characteristics of criminal incidents in these communities and presents information on the socioeconomic conditions of the populations served by these police services.

Income data for Canadian tax filers shed light on the distribution of income in 2018. This infographic illuminates selected characteristics of the top 1% of tax filers in Canada that year, including information on age, gender, and geographic location. The top 1% of tax filers is defined as the 1% of tax filers with the highest total incomes when ranked nationally. These estimates are for a pre-pandemic period and do not reflect any impacts of COVID-19. However, they do provide a baseline for analysing changes to the top of the income distribution during the pandemic period, once those data become available.

This article presents an analysis of the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the Canadian beef supply chain, from Ranch to Slaughter House, from Wholesale to Retail and from domestic market to Imports/Exports. The study uses various data sources from Statistics Canada and Agriculture and Agri-food Canada (AAFC) with main focus on wholesale services prices. This publication also uses data from the product-based development project for the Wholesale Services Price Index (WSPI) using the North American Product Classification System (NAPCS). This project is part of Statistics Canada's user-centric modernization initiative. The product-based WSPI data are not yet released to the public.

Note: The WSPI represents the change in the price of wholesale services, which is defined as the margin price (or margin). The margin is the difference between the average purchase price and the average selling price of a given product. It is not a wholesale selling price.

As a result of the widespread measures taken to contain the spread of COVID-19, the Canadian economy contracted. By the end of May, the Canadian economy had been transformed by COVID-19 and many businesses had begun to adapt to the new reality by shifting to teleworking, reducing hours, laying off staff, applying for government funding or seeking rent relief. As parts of Canada were exposed to a second wave of COVID-19 and other parts were in recovery, Statistics Canada ran the Canadian Survey on Business Conditions to better understand the ongoing impacts on businesses. Based on the results of the survey, while the majority of businesses in Canada were impacted, smaller businesses with 1 to 99 employees were slightly more affected.
