cansim: Accessing Statistics Canada Data Table and Vectors

Searches for, accesses, and retrieves new-format and old-format Statistics Canada data tables, as well as individual vectors, as tidy data frames. This package deals with encoding issues, allows for bilingual English or French language data retrieval, and bundles convenience functions to make it easier to work with retrieved table data. Optional caching features are provided.
