+In the previous graphs, each observation represented a single census subdivision - this counted small towns of 500 people equally with cities like Montreal and Toronto. We can weight the data by the "total" column (i.e. total population) to make this a graph of population.

+We can modify the graph's appearance - for example, if the grey background makes it difficult to make out the paler shades of blue, we can change the theme to one with a white background. Included also is a way to change the font. You can find a list [here](http://ggplot2.tidyverse.org/reference/theme.html) of all the theme elements that you can modify.
