Original census geographies #191

Closed mountainMath closed 1 year ago

mountainMath commented 1 year ago

Implement functionality to query original census geographies. The geographies served by CensusMapper are processed, additional water layers like large rivers and lakes are clipped (based on zoom level) and geographies are simplified (based on zoom level and resolution in the get_census() call.

Easy access to the original StatCan geographies, both cartographic and digital, might be useful at times.

done for 2021. Would be good to add earlier census geographies, but this also opens up issues when StatCan changes the urls, which unfortunately does happen occasionally. Closing this for now.
