Except it's not CSV as advertised but in a proprietary and binary format :(

Which is why I convert it daily until the 25th when the final version will be up:
http://rym.waglo.com/wordpress/2008/09/14/candidats-2008-des-elections-canadiennes/
or more directly http://cancan.waglo.com/candidates-canada-2008.csv

Please tell me I'm not infringing ;)
