The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives has published a series of reports on how stupidly over-paid the top CEOs in Canada are. As in, they are paid more than the average worker makes in a year by some time in the early days (hours) of January.
Since it has data, I just had to make a database of the reports. I wondered over the years of the reports which CEOs moved in and out of the top 100, which companies they worked for, which sectors, can we add more data from wikis or the company websites, etc.
So, I started scraping the data from the reports I found.
I had to download the PDF files to convert them to database data, so I have posted here a link to the copies of downloaded files I used. The file names do not all match with the names at the CCPA, but the content in unaltered.
