Authenticity with a bang: Exploring suburban culture and migration through the new phenomenon of the Richmond Night Market
This paper considers the suburban night through the recent cultural phenomenon of the Summer Night Market in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada. Night markets have existed in China since the 8th century, and have followed Chinese migration, first to Southeast Asia, and more recently, to Canada. Richmond, because of significant Asian settlement in the 1990s, is known as the ‘new Chinatown’ ethnoburb of Metro Vancouver. Its night market is a weeken…
Urban markets and diversity: Towards a Research Agenda
In this paper we advocate the study of local street markets to explore fundamental issues about the relationship between economy and society. This relationship evolves over time and we believe that it has been recast in an age of increasing cultural diversity and neo-liberal state regulatory structures. In street markets we can see how diversity and the nature of economic transactions become mutually constitutive. We argue that cultural diversity…
S haky foundations: Refugees in Vancouver's housing market
Our purpose in this article is to examine refugees' access to housing in metropolitan Vancouver. How are refugees faring in Vancouver's housing market relative to non‐humanitarian immigrants? Is there evidence that their housing circumstances change over time? Following from this, can we detect systematic differences in housing experiences between refugees selected and supported by the Canadian government versus those who come to Canada seeking a…
W hy do we still need a census? Views from the age of “truthiness” and the “death of evidence”
This viewpoint reports on a multidisciplinary panel held at the 2012 CAG/Congress meeting that brought together a number of researchers with important expertise on census‐related issues. They were asked to tackle the question: “Why do we still need a census?” Their presentations generated dialogue based on both Canadian and international experiences with recent changes in census data collection approaches. The article presents some cautionary obs…
Globalizing Canadian Education from Below: A Case Study of Transnational Immigrant Entrepreneurship Between Seoul, Korea and Vancouver Canada
Newcomers in the Canadian housing market: A longitudinal study, 2001–2005
The Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants to Canada (LSIC) is used to investigate the participation of immigrants in Canada's housing market during the first four years of the settlement process, beginning in 2000–2001. The analysis focuses on the changing rate of homeownership, crowding and affordability. Special attention is given to differences between landing classes and population groups (especially visible minority groups). In general, the hous…
On the Outside Looking In: The Precarious Housing Situations of Successful Refugee Claimants in the GVRD
Access to affordable and adequate housing is a key step in the successful integration of newcomers. While some immigrants are able to transition into home ownership quite rapidly, other newcomers are finding it increasing difficult to access basic shelter. There is little systematic knowledge about the extent of homelessness among immigrants and refugees in Greater Vancouver. This paper details the findings of a 2005 study entitled The Profile of…
Introduction: The Political Economy of Immigration
Winning, Losing, and Still Playing the Game: The Political Economy of Immigration in Canada
In contrast to most other countries, public opinion in Canada is relatively positive towards immigration and immigrants. Yet the economic fortunes of immigrants, especially those who have arrived recently, have been falling over the past three decades. Four analytical perspectives on the relatively poor economic performance of immigrants in Canada are discussed, and are used to build a composite understanding of this economic outcome. I argue tha…
Similarities of SP-, NKA- and NKB-induced currents in rat dorsal root ganglion neurons
Tachykinin (TK; including substance P (SP), neurokinin A (NKA) and neurokinin B (NKB))-induced currents (I(TK)s) were studied in freshly isolated rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons using whole-cell patch clamp recording and repatch techniques. All the three I(TK)s manifested features of fast activating kinetics, such as short latency and fast tau(on) and tau(off), and very slow desensitization. The concentration-response relationships for TKs…
Assimilation, Cultural Pluralism, and Social Exclusion among Ethnocultural Groups in Vancouver
In this paper we use custom tabulations from the 1991 Census for Greater Vancouver to compare the settlement experience of "traditional" immigrants with ethnic origins in Europe vs. those from other parts of the world. In particular we analyze the extent to which assimilation or cultural pluralism best describe the experience of the two populations. Assimilation is measured according to the degree to which an ethnic group moves toward the charact…
The spatial limits to entrepreneurship: Immigrant entrepreneurs in Canada
Labour market participation and the income of immigrants in the Canadian economy, both as employees and entrepreneurs, is investigated. Special attention is devoted to the situation of those who entered Canada as business immigrants, who have been admitted into the country due to their past accomplishments in managing and establishing businesses in other parts of the world. This programme is based, essentially, on the logic of globalisation, that…
Immigration policy as population policy
Immigration and the changing Canadian city
The impact of immigration on Canadian cities since the Second World War has been profound, especially following the removal of barriers to non‐European immigrants in the 1960s and the significant increase in the number of immigrants admitted since the mid‐1980s. Over two million immigrants entered Canada in the 1990s and the vast majority have settled in just a few metropolitan areas. As a result, the social geography of large Canadian cities has…
Local Geographies of Labor Market Segmentation: Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver, 1991
In this paper I use census data to provide an overview of gender, ethnic, and immigrant occupational segmentation in Canada's three largest metropolitan areas. My findings corroborate the work of many other authors who have shown the pronounced split between female‐ and male‐dominated portions of the labor market. There is also evidence of considerable ethnic and immigrant segmentation, and members of visible minority groups, especially those who…

The social geography of Toronto in 1931: A study of residential differentiation and social structure
Immigration to Canada
This is a special section containing four articles on aspects of immigration in Canada. The first article, by Daniel Hiebert, examines current migration policy at both federal and regional levels and the impact of these policies on the distribution of immigrants and on regional inequalities. The second article, by Alan Nash, looks at the incompatibility between regulations pertaining to business and refugee migration. The final two papers look at…
Jewish Immigrants and the Garment Industry of Toronto, 1901–1931: A Study of Ethnic and Class Relations
Much research in North American urban historical geography focuses on the consequences of intensified European immigration during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The selective labor-market participation of Southern and Eastern European immigrants is well documented, as is the tendency for these groups to form ethnic residential concentrations. But connections between ethnic labor-market segmentation and residential segregation …

Discontinuity and the Emergence of Flexible Production: Garment Production in Toronto, 1901-1931
The economic and spatial evolution of Toronto's garment industry during the early 20th century is examined. Two stages of development are outlined. The 1901–1915 period was marked by the rapid growth of large, vertically integrated clothing factories. This trend was reversed after 1915, however, when small, vertically disintegrated clothing firms began to recapture the market for ready-made apparel. These economic changes were accompanied by equa…
