Side by side

Canada and India compared

The figures, side by side

Each figure is the same observation, with the same source, as on the two dossiers. Every value shows the year it was observed — vintages differ by indicator and nation. A “—” is an absence in the source data, never a zero. Metric names link to the world ranking; values open the figure on its own dossier.

Entangled histories

One event in which either nation’s sourced chronicle names the other — including under earlier names of the same state. Each is the same record, with the same sources, as on its own chronicle; nothing here was written for this page.

    The Indian Act

    The Indian Act consolidated federal control over the lives, lands, and governance of First Nations peoples, becoming a central instrument of assimilation and dispossession that remains in force in amended form.
