Description	The study was conducted by Donald Edward Blake, from the Department of Political Science at the University of British Columbia. 1968-1974 This dataset contains a variety of political and socioeconomic information for ridings created by the 1966 redistribution act, excluding those in the Yukon and Northwest Territories. Riding boundaries correspond to those used in the federal elections of 1968, 1972, and 1974. Total n=262. Election data for 1968 and 1972 are based on data from relevant reports of the chief electoral officer, those for the 1974 election are from the table appended to the electoral map produced by the department of mines, energy and resources following that election. All constituency-level census data (records 5 to 8) were produced by the principal investigator by aggregating enumeration area data provided by Statistics Canada for the 1971 census. In addition to census and election data the dataset contains figures on constituency-level allocations under the local initiatives program for selected years. Summary of dataset contents: Record 1: 1968 federal election results, valid votes total Record 2: 1972 federal election results, valid votes total, constituency population (1971), total number in electorate Record 3: 1974 federal election results, valid votes total, total number in electorate Record 4: lip details for 1972-73 program, allocations under 1974-75 program, estimated unemployment rate, estimated size of labour force, Lovink's index of safety (a measure of party competition), identification of parties winning and coming in second in each of the three elections. Record 5: population characteristics: birthplace, immigrants by period of immigration, country of citizenship, ethnic origin, Record 6: population characteristics: religion, language spoken at home, official language Record 7: population characteristics: persons aged 5+ by migration status, income data for census families and census economic families. Record 8: population and labour force characteristics: population aged 15+ by level of schooling and by labour activity, experienced labour force by occupation, experienced labour force by industry division. 1979-1984 This dataset has been prepared using official sources. Results for the 1979, 1980 and 1984 federal elections were obtained from the Report of the Chief Electoral Officer. The percentages appearing in this dataset were calculated by the principal investigator from raw figures. Census data were obtained from 1981 Canadian Census summary tapes supplied by the UBC Data Library. Percentages were calculated by the principal investigator from raw figures. For further information about these data and for official definitions of terms used please consult official publications. The data have been subjected to a variety of tests.
