Three New Statistical Reports from Statistics Canada: Film Production; Vehicles; and International Travel

+ Film, Video and Audio-visual Production: Data Tables

The financial picture for the nation's 688 film, video and audio-visual producers improved in 2004 despite a substantial decline in production revenues. Total revenues for the industry amounted to $2.9 billion, a 10.9% increase from 2001. The gain was largely due to growth in non-production activities such as broadcasting and film distribution. Expenses did not rise as quickly as revenues due to falling interest charges, and stable levels of depreciation and other expenses. As a result, the profit margin for the industry was 4.6% in 2004, well above the margin of 1.2% three years earlier.

++ Canadian Vehicle Survey, 2005

Light vehicles, which weigh less than 4.5 tonnes and include all cars, sport-utility vehicles, mini-vans and pick-up trucks, were driven an average of 16,000 kilometres, or 44 kilometres per day, during 2005. Drivers of light vehicles averaged 46 kilometres per day on weekdays compared to 39 kilometres on weekends and holidays. They averaged 34 kilometres between 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., 9 kilometres from 6:00 p.m. until midnight and only 1 kilometre from midnight to 6:00 a.m.

Thursday, 24th May 2012

Recently I have found myself cooing over visualisation maps (and heat maps) of health and well being resources. The content rich data is overlayed with mapping technologies, and some interesting themes and patterns are emerging.


Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012
