Description
ABSTRACT/RESUME Few groups in Canada are enumerated on the census as both a religious denomination and an ethnic-origin category, but Jews are. Given the widespread consensus on the unreliability of ethnic-origin census data, demographers studying the Jewish community in Canada rely mainly on the Judaic or religion counts. However, the ethnic data from Canada's 200l Census, released earlier, permit some comparison with previous censi and may suggest trends that can only be confirmed as valid when other data become available. The 2001 Jewish ethnic-origin counts and the religious-denomination trends for Canada's largest cities are presented and discussed in relation to 1991 census data. The rise in multiple-response (vs. Jewish only) totals is considered, and some explanations are suggested.
