list_cansim_tables

This method is deprecated, please use `list_cansim_cubes` instead.
Generates an overview table containing metadata of available Statistics Canada data tables. A new and updated table will be generated if this table does not already exist in cached form or if the force refresh option is selected (set to <code>FALSE</code> by default). This can take some time as this process involves scraping through hundreds of Statistics Canada web pages to gather the required metadata. If option <code>cansim.cache_path</code> is set it will look for and store the overview table in that directory.

internal

Searches for, accesses, and retrieves Statistics Canada data
tables, as well as individual vectors, as tidy data frames.
This package enriches the tables with metadata, deals
with encoding issues, allows for bilingual English or French language data retrieval, and bundles
convenience functions to make it easier to work with retrieved table data. For more efficient data
access the package allows for caching data in a local database and database level filtering, data
manipulation and summarizing.
