Therapists and counselors publish an email most often, clothing stores least
Each list links to its own page: the count by province, the ad tags on their websites, their ratings, the same list in other countries and what it costs.

How the 10 lists were chosen among 203
A list has a page when it counts at least 2,000 listings, at least 10% of them with an email, and enough provinces and territories with 50 listings or more; 203 Canadian lists pass, and the 10 largest that businesses actually sell to have a page. Gas stations are the largest list held back by the email threshold: 14,845 listings, only 4.2% with an email.

Questions
Can I get one of these lists for a single province?
Yes. Each search can be narrowed to a province, a city or a radius before you export, and the count shows before you pay; each list page gives the count province by province, restaurants first with 110,792 listings in Canada.
Why is there no Canadian list for a trade I sell to?
Only the 10 largest of the 203 Canadian lists that pass our thresholds have a page. Every other trade can still be searched and exported in Primavera, with its exact count shown first.
