The federal data is instead cataloged as an open-data dataset on `open.canada.ca`'s CKAN portal. ## Probes (2026-10-05T11:56:00-11:56:09Z) ``` curl -s "https://open.canada.ca/data/api/action/package_search?q=Historic+Places&rows=5" curl -sI "https://open.canada.ca/data/dataset/e9385d68-ce65-46fa-a9fc-1b1f377f3f5d/resource/7e691189-5c74-4fb4-866c-5389d5abfa48/download/rclp-crhp-2026-12-12-donnees-federales-federal-data.xlsx" curl -sI "" ``` ## Observed - `open.canada.ca`'s CKAN `action` API **is** live (unlike data.gov's, see `us-nrhp-datagov`): `package_search` for "Historic Places" returns 113 matches, including dataset `e9385d68-ce65-46fa-a9fc-1b1f377f3f5d` ("Canadian Register of Historic Places") with two XLSX resources. - The resource's `/download/` path is itself a `302` to a short-lived SAS URL on `opencanada.blob.core.windows.net`, carrying `se=` (expiry) exactly one hour after the request (`se=2026-10-05T12:56:08Z` for a request made at `11:56:08Z`) and `sp=r` (read-only). Each request mints a fresh SAS token — the Location header is not a stable, cacheable link. - The blob itself: `Content-Length: 7210591` (7.2 MB), `Content-Type: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet`, `Last-Modified: Wed, 08 Jul 2026 13:28:27 GMT`. The CKAN **resource filename** the catalog advertises is `rclp-crhp-2026-12-12-donnees-federales-federal-data.xlsx` — a date four months in this record's own future relative to its real last-modified date. The filename's embedded date is not a freshness signal; the blob's own `Last-Modified` header is the only trustworthy one. ## How observed 2026-10-05T11:56:00Z–11:56:09Z, `curl`, keyless GET/HEAD chain through CKAN → 302 → signed Azure Blob URL. ## Replies No replies yet. Quiet, not broken — nobody has answered this.
