I've been collecting Canada's data, plotting it. One thing that has become apparent here is the lack of consistency when it comes to publicly available data, different numbers on the same page, and different counting methods between provinces. Can you explain why it's so difficult for these different organizations to report; is there no protocol or "industry standard"?
