Synopsis

First published in 1984, The Industrial Geography of Canada provides a comprehensive overview of the Canadian industry. It introduces Canada's physical and human resources, describes the settlement pattern and charts the development of industry from 1945.

The main characteristics of each province's industry are outlined in detail: the poor remote Atlantic provinces, where attracting industry is a major problem; Quebec, where the distinct French-Canadian culture poses problems; the American domination of Ontario; the resource boom of Alberta; and the developing resource-based industries of British Columbia and the North. The book concludes with an examination of the prospects for successful national development goals in a country where regionalism is so strong.

The Industrial Geography of Canada is a valuable text for all geographers with a particular interest in Canada.
