Description: Integrated, convenient, and uniform access to Canadian
        Census data and geography retrieved using the 'CensusMapper'
        API. This package produces analysis-ready tidy data frames and
        spatial data in multiple formats, as well as convenience
        functions for working with Census variables, variable
        hierarchies, and region selection. API keys are freely
        available with free registration at
        <https://censusmapper.ca/api>. Census data and boundary
        geometries are reproduced and distributed on an "as is" basis
        with the permission of Statistics Canada (Statistics Canada
        1996; 2001; 2006; 2011; 2016; 2021).
