A Great Gift From Statistics Canada

This notice at Statistics Canada went up recently:
Notice: Self-serve standard products available on the Statistics Canada website ― including CANSIM and census data products ― are now free of charge.


It is very exciting to have such a data warehouse available.
Unfortunately, it still requires knowledge to understand the data.

For instance how is one to interpret the Unemployment Rate data since Ontario's Premier McGuinty was first elected?
