Canada's official numbers, in charts that update themselves.

Canada by the Numbers explains Canada's big issues through official statistics, in charts. It is an independent project, not a Government of Canada website.

Every number is read by code straight from the body that publishes it, such as Statistics Canada or the Bank of Canada, and checked each time before a chart uses it. Nobody types a number in by hand, and the charts give no opinions. Numbers are shown as published, and any figure we count or work out ourselves is labelled as ours.

Each chart is re-read as often as its publisher updates the numbers, and shows the date of its last read beside its source. The full methods are on the About page.
