Statistics Canada to make all online data free, Carl Meyer, Embassy (Dec 2)
I can scarcely believe this - "All of Statistics Canada’s standard online products, including the census, socioeconomic and geographic data, will be offered to the public for free starting February 2012, Embassy has learned."
"“As of February 1, 2012, Statistics Canada will begin to implement a new dissemination model. Standard products readily available on its website—including CANSIM data, census data and geography products—will be offered free of charge,” reads one letter sent to a distributor dated Aug. 23, and obtained by Embassy."
Read on. To what do we owe this generosity from our government?
