Ask HN: Canadian demographics data

Hi,

I am currently trying to build a customer analytics product and am looking for Canadian demographics data. Unfortunately, it costs $4,500 and I am wondering if there are other alternative sources out there? I have taken a look at Statistics Canada but even there, I'll be required to fork out $900 to make the data useful.

If anyone has ideas, please share. Thanks!

Could you please define "useful data" ?

Sure. For example, Census data is currently not linked to postal codes. You'll need to purchase a database that links the 2 together.
