Methodology:
The Canadian tables are in 3-year overlapping windows, while the U.S. ones have a row per year. To make their five-year bins comparable, each Canadian window is weighed by the fraction that falls inside the bin (so every year contributes equally).

Maybe my eyes are tired, but this is a total bitch to read even blown up on a 27-inch 1440p monitor.
