Hi everyone,
Benoit has a hard time getting in touch with http://www.historicplaces.ca , they don't seem to be very response so we need to get their attention. Please use Twitter (https://twitter.com/#!/HistoricPlaces or retweet https://twitter.com/mdammers/status/215176292658720769) or leave a friendly message at https://www.facebook.com/CanadasRegister . Let's see if this plan B works.
Plan C is to scrape their site. Take for example http://www.historicplaces.ca/en/rep-reg/place-lieu.aspx?id=16402 . It's is straightforward to get the: * PlaceId (number in the url) * Location (street, city, Canada) * Latitude * Longitude * Name * Construction date This appears appears to be factual information, so probably not copyrightable. I don't dare touch the description. Would this be covered by other laws preventing us from using this? Database laws maybe?
