The pathetic state of Canadian information online

I'm so fed up with the Canadian government piggybacking on information resources from the US and failing to provide Canadians with access to data they helped pay for. One glaring example of this is the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS). I can access 7 of their databases because I'm a member of an academic institution and we get access through the Academic Support Program (ASP); but what about Jane Doe who's trying to research the nefarious effects of cadmium? Can she get access to the reports? Doesn't look like it: she'd have to be a subscriber. Is this fair? I sure as hell don't think so.
