Document Summary
Chapter 9 other cleavages - urban/rural location, religion, and age. The federal political system faces demands from urban and rural communities that are often different and sometimes conflicting. Definitions of urban, rural, and suburban are not entirely satisfactory, with rural being defined as living in communities under 1000 people. Figure 9. 1 shows how the proportion of canadians living in rural areas has declined over time to about. There is a certain irony in that both urban and rural communities feel that the federal government does not pay them enough attention. Besides the core-periphery analysis of canada as a whole, with the core consisting of the toronto-montreal-ottawa triangle and the rest of the country constituting the periphery, we can observe a similar core-periphery settlement pattern in each province and territory. The core of each is usually the capital city, and the rest of the province or territory often feels alienated.
