[RNFdev] Next Step.

[Dan Putler]

Sounds like you've taken a mixed approach. Major cities, but Ottawa/ 
Ontario centric, which makes sense given your location.

In terms of the StatsCan data, my plan was to dig into this on  
Monday. I've got email contacts in the geography division, and will  
send them email, spending some time on google before doing so.
