What we do not hold here

Population, housing, crime, income and other census-style figures: we hold none for Canada here, so nothing above is a rate per person.
Charities are placed at the centre of their postal-code prefix (first three characters), a few kilometres wide in cities and far larger in rural areas.
No open postal-code-to-riding file is held, so federal and provincial representatives are not matched to a postal code; municipal councils are matched by city name for the 100 or so that publish.
Charity income is not held for Canada here, so charities are ranked by board size.
About a fifth of schools have no coordinates in the provincial lists.
