Canadians - What demographics sources do you use and which are useful?
I'm thinking of developing a cleaner way to access demographics data through interactive web maps. Before I go ahead, I'd love to hear from the Canadian commercial real estate pros here; 

* what resources do you currently use?
* Do you think having an interactive map with census data etc would be useful to you?
* Is there something similar that you wish you had in this space but is not available?

However, perhaps this could be improved with new commercial and residential projects also being overlaid along with specific pricing and absorption metrics.", "replies": [{"id": "g9ekdba", "text": "Thanks. I was thinking of setting up something similar to [https://www.city-data.com/](https://www.city-data.com/) with whatever data I could acquire (mostly census data). Would that be useful? Also do you know where I could get my hands on the data for new commercial/residential projects and pricing/absorption metrics?", "replies": [{"id": "g9grzju", "text": "We use Realnet and Altus InSite on for our data, expensive but relatively reliable and far better than the garbage CoStar puts out.
