 Major Religions Ranked by Size
The list was created by the same people who collected and organized this database, in consultation with university professors of comparative religions and scholars from different religions.
A listing of doctrinally and organizationally meaningful divisions or denominational "branches" (such as Catholic, Eastern/Orthodox Christian, Sunni Islam, Shiite Islam, Evangelical Christian, Mahayana Buddhism, Theravada Buddhism, etc.) would clearly be useful, but that is the subject of a different list: Major Branches of Major World Religions.
This list is based primarily on the degree of doctrinal/theological similarity among all the various sub-groups which belong to these classifications, and to a lesser extent based on diversity in practice, ritual and organization.

 Housing New Canadians: Research Projects: Housing Experiences of New Canadians: Focus Groups and Findings
Jamaican participants in the focus groups were especially critical of the way in which they believe the public housing authority in Toronto allocates Jamaican (and other 'visible minority' people of West Indies and African dissent, whether Canadian born or immigrant) to particular housing developments.
Jamaicans, for example, miss a sense of 'community' in Toronto and often live close to people of their own cultural background for that reason.
For Jamaicans, as an English speaking group, with a large system of community agencies and associations to serve them in Toronto, and coming from a country with some British-origin institutions similar to those in Canada, knowledge of the housing system and knowledge of Canadian institutions and culture are less a barrier.

The Jamaican radio stations could not meet the demand for pop music in Jamaica, so entrepreneurs called "sound system men" put huge speakers and stereo systems in the back of flat bed trucks and paraded around the towns (21).
Since the Jamaicans could not replicate New Orleans music, they tried at the only other type of music they knew, which was a jazz style "mento." (Ward 22) Sound system men were forced to make their own records to meet the unimaginable demand for popular music.
Eddie “Nuf Roots” Jackson of Holy Smoke announces that Jamaican music is popular because “… it has a spiritual vibe to it and it is easy to dance to.” Reggae has a very upbeat tempo and it is very energetic, which is appealing to most people.

Half of the 16 Jamaicans who died during the storm were from Portland Cottage, a poor village of 10,000 people that some environmentalists say should never have been developed because it is in a flood plain.
Many Jamaicans who lived along riverbanks or in flooded valleys had no insurance to cover their losses and are struggling to get back on their feet.
