NAME
       Finance::Quote::FinanceCanada - Obtain stock and mutual fund prices from finance.canada.com


SYNOPSIS
           use Finance::Quote;

           $q = Finance::Quote->new;

           # Can failover to other methods
           %quotes = $q->fetch("canada", "stock_fund-code");

           # Use this module only
           %quotes = $q->fetch("financecanada", "stock_fund-code");


DESCRIPTION
       This module obtains information about Canadian Stock and Mutual Funds from finanace.canada.com.  The
       information source "canada" can be used if the information source is unimportant, or "financecanada" to
       specifically use finance.canada.com.


STOCK_FUND-CODE
       Canadian stocks/mutual funds do not have a unique symbol identifier.  This module uses the symbols as
       used on finance.canada.com.  The simplest way to fetch the ID for a particular stock/fund is to go to
       finance.canada.com, search for your particular stock or mutual fund, and note the symbol ID.  This is
       helpfully provided by the site in their returned HTML quote.


LABELS RETURNED
       Information available from financecanada may include the following labels:

       method source name symbol currency date nav last price
