[While my introductory text is in English only, completely bilingual
StatsCan data follows.]


On weekend back in late November I found myself in Toronto, so I spent
a few hours (I hadn't intended it to take that long, believe me) in
the UofT main library looking for Interprovincial trade statistics.

I finally found (part of) the information I was looking for in a
Statistics Canada volume entitled "Destination of shipments of
manufacturers (Cat # 31-530)".  Issued in April 1988 using the 1984
data, this book of figures quantifies the movement of manufactured
goods by good and by province.

This particular Volume seems to come out every 5 years, so one is due
in the spring.

Also, this data only tracks manufactured goods.  As we all know that a
significant portion of the Canadian economy is made up of services,
the following data is incomplete.  (Perhaps the next Volume will
include services data as well.)

Anyway, the data, presented in various ways (including "en francais"),
follows.  I hope you enjoy it.  Thanks to Pierre Rouleau for helping
me with some French-language terms that I forgot to copy out of the
book at the time.
