A significant increase in the cost of flights and a decrease in the number of flights leaving the airport has resulted in fewer people planning domestic as well as international trips.  "Before (COVID-19) there used to be a lot more flights but after (COVID-19) the flights have (been) cut down," said director of GlobalDuniya Anant Mishra. "There used to be 15 to 25 flights every day but now there might only be eight flights. Because there are less flights, everything is much more expensive." A decrease in flight rates was seen in the year 2019.  The average domestic fares for Canada have seen a quarterly increase in recent years. Toronto alone had the highest domestic fares in the first and second quarters of 2019, whereas Saskatoon had the lowest fares but still saw an 11 per cent increase between quarters.  There was an increase of 46,054 trips in the first quarter year of 2022 as compared to the third quarter of 2022, according to the data from Statistics Canada ...

  The number of sexual assaults on teenage women aged 12 to 17 years is comparatively more than sexual assaults on teenage men in 2020, according to Statistics Canada .  Sexual assault is a form of gender-based violence. It is a common crime against women globally. Women are victimized at a higher rate than men.

  Chart Unanswered Question A question that I cannot answer with my data is sexual violence against women in Canada in previous years. It would be great to compare the difference of at least the last five years. The data from Statistics Canada that I used for my visualization provides information for the years 2019 and 2020 but not for years before that. It would be interesting to compare the data for sexual assault on female over the years.  How would you get the data? I would reach out to Statistics Canada to find out if they have any data available for previous years. I will also request for a research data and questions, which they used before getting the final data. I will make sure to request a data that includes Canada and not B.C. as my data is about all over Canada and not one province. Even if I get a data that includes all genders, I could filter it and find the data for females. 

 1. Opening lead sentence  The number of assaults by a stranger on male and female victims aged 12-17 in 2020 is comparatively less than in 2019, according to Statistics Canada.  2.

  I chose the chart that focuses on the solo careers of artists from "boy bands" and "girl groups" since the 80s. It is easy to perceive and understand. This chart is based on the number of Spotify followers of solo artists compared to their bands. The full version of this chart can be found  here .  There are many reasons why band members leave their bands and pursue solo careers. Some are successful in their solo careers and some don't make it out of the band. The visualization did a good job of explaining the data clearly, as just by reading the title "solo artists with more and less Spotify followers compared to their band" and looking at the chart, I understood what it was about.  The data is based on the Spotify followers as of February 2021.  The chart is not only interesting to look at but has many other features to it. The title is straightforward. Just by reading the title, the readers get an idea about the chart. The format of the chart goes...

Photo by iPredator Social media is a platform that allows people to create or share content and to connect with people all over the world. In today's era, with an increase in population, there is also an increase in the use of social media. Social media platforms can have their benefits but there are many drawbacks as well. There is a connection between excessive use of social media and worsening mental health. Using social media frequently can make a person unhappy and isolated.  There is also a movie named " Airplane Mode " based on excessive phone addiction and how the female lead got rid of her social media addiction.  A study has found that Facebook makes people unhappy and depressed. Facebook also makes the user think that their friend's lives are more interesting than theirs's which is termed as "Facebook Envy". When we spend too much time on our phone, we tend to forget things in our day to day life and as we get involved in the ...
