Question
A researcher here would like to get Canadian mining foreign direct investment into Latin American countries. The following CANSIM table comes closest:
Table 376-0053
International investment position, Canadian direct investment abroad and foreign direct investment in Canada, by industry and country, annual (dollars)
The closest industry is "energy and metallic minerals", but the real problem is the level of geographic detail; the only categories are US, UK, other EU countries, Japan, OECD, Japan and OECD countries, and the wonderfully evocative "all other foreign countries". Is it possible to get more detail from Statistics Canada? Alternatively, can anyone suggest a source that might provide a little more detail, especially for South America?
Answer
One could try the NRCan? (http://www.nrcan.gc.ca/mms/hm_e.htm).
They have statistics, a form to request information, and a link to industry associations (http://www.nrcan.gc.ca/mms/lien/mac_e.htm).
The Mining Association of Canada puts out Facts and Figures
(http://www.mining.ca/www/media_lib/MAC_Documents/Publications/
English/2006_FF_Eng.pdf)
which does mention investments in general - they may have more detailed information if you contact them directly.

ReplyDeleteI actually do have 2 questions for you if it's allright.
Could it be only me or does it seem like a few of these responses appear like
they are left by brain dead people? :-P And, if you are writing at additional online social sites, I'd like
to keep up with you. Could you make a list
of the complete urls of all your social sites like your Facebook page,
twitter feed, or linkedin profile?

I was curious if you ever thought of changing the layout oof your blog?
ReplyDeleteIts very well written; I love what youve got to say. But
maybe you could a little more in the way of content so
people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text
for only having one or two images. Maybe you could space it ouut
better?

Have you ever considered about adding a little

But just imagine if you added some great images or video clips to
give your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but
with images and videos, this blog could certainly be one of the very best in its field.
