Canadian Cities Demo App

A simple Express web application listing the 2016 populations of some Candian cities by province. Note that the data it draws on is incomplete and for some provinces there are no cities listed at all.

For population counts from previous years (2011, 2006, 2001, 1996) as well as other facts about the cities accounted for, access the raw data as JSON via the api /api/cities. You can also filter the JSON data to province/territory by using the route /api/cities/:province where :province is a variable. Some facts about the provinces/territories can be found at /api/provinces.
