Re-introduce scrapers for multiple jurisdictions #95

Open jpmckinney opened 8 years ago

jpmckinney commented 8 years ago

Some provinces and territories aggregate data (see the disabled *_municipalities scrapers in scrapers-ca). Depends on https://github.com/opencivicdata/pupa/issues/70

[ ] NL
[ ] PE
[ ] NS
[x] NB
[ ] QC scrape website (open data has no email)
ON has no aggregate data
[ ] MB
[ ] AB use CEO/Council Excel (one email per jurisdiction)
[ ] SK
[x] BC via spreadsheet
[ ] YT
[ ] NT

By population, priority would be QC, AB, MB, SK, NS, NB, NL, PE, NT, YT.

Actually, this may not depend of that Pupa issue. We just need scraper_ca_app to publish data for the Pupa jurisdiction that is similar to what the CSV proxy publishes for multi-jurisdiction spreadsheets.

Solution may be to mainly edit views.py (see where it expects boundary_url), and have a dummy jurisdiction per province/territory.

It's working for New Brunswick. Can be done for others now.
