CANSIM has 60k+ tables. StatCan covers a handful at a time in The Daily. What if the cost of coverage was (nearly) zero?

The D-AI-LY (dshkol.com/thedaily/) checks for recently updated and neglected series and writes up releases for them with viz, links to source material, and reproducible code.

the cancensus R package has had 81k dls since 2018. It's the best way to interact with StatsCan data for R users.

pycancensus is a full python port, with equivalent data access and manipulation grammar, output, and geospatial retrieval.
