I'd say it's time to update legend colors for the cases, since both Quebec and Ontario are over 1,000 now. Maybe add a fifth line, or simply change the numbers count. I'd say put it like this:
What d'ya think? Shadiac ( talk) 05:47, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
The colour for Akimiski is wrong, it's part of Nunavut, not Ontario.

An outbreak evolution bargraph might be good...
Look at the one under construction for Australia ( Talk:2009 swine flu outbreak in Australia/workpage )

So, should we add the zoonosis map to the article? 70.29.212.226 ( talk) 08:19, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
I propose to include the following table in the article. The population figures are directly from the Wikipedia articles. If there are no objections to the inclusion of this table I shall enter it by end of week (June 27, 2009).-- HJKeats ( talk) 12:35, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Should we start having provincial maps? There's enough information available from provincial ministries of health to make maps for BC, Alta, Sask, Man, Ont, and Nunavut.
Some industrious people have been doing this for the US and Brazil already... And there is one regional map for Manila in the Philippines. (and there's a map for Hong Kong, if you consider that a "province" of China) 76.66.203.200 ( talk) 14:34, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
—Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.242.201.67 ( talk) 11:53, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
Why are the numbers of deaths the same for total but vary by province compared to the Public Health Agency of Canada's totals chart? For example, the Public Health Agencies website map says Ontario has 9 confirmed deaths while our chart says 7. Also, on the website Quebec has 11 confirmed deaths but on our chart there are 12. I know there are multiple sources but surely the government one is the most accurate? I will update the death totals in accordance to the PHC website revert if there are any problems and discuss here please. Bretonnia ( talk) 18:47, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
Someone needs to fix the confirmed cases map. Akimiski Island is coloured the same as Ontario, and should not be, it is part of Nunavut.
70.29.208.69 ( talk) 06:35, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
Someone needs to fix the suspected/confirmed/deaths map. It was fixed once before, and then undone. Anticosti Island is part of Quebec, but it is not coloured to match.
70.29.208.69 ( talk) 06:35, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
Akimiski Island is the wrong colour, it should be the same as Nunavut, instead it's the same as Quebec.
70.29.208.69 ( talk) 22:00, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
FYI, while testing for A/H1N1-2009, a new swine flu in humans was discovered, see http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/media/nr-rp/2009/2009_0707-eng.php
This might merit mention somewhere.
70.29.208.69 ( talk) 03:53, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
A new image has shown up... image:H1N1 Canada map.svg
However, the new map is wrong, Anticosti Island and Akimiski Island are the wrong colour. 70.29.208.69 ( talk) 05:27, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
Anyone who is able to update the map needs to black out NOVA SCOTIA as it has confirmed deaths. Thank you. Bretonnia ( talk) 18:59, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
As most jurisdictions are not reporting total number of cases, it seems the tables in the article are not required. The numbers in the table are from various dates as per the last report from the provinces and it serves no purpose in this article without current and time sensitive reporting. IMHO HJKeats ( talk) 23:03, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
Should we eliminate the "confirmed cases" map? Obviously it is ridiculously out of date, with just over 10,000 confirmed cases when really the estimate is 3.5 million infected. They haven't been consistently counting since July.
The Northwest Territories needs to be coloured black. The date of death was not reported, just the week, about 2 weeks ago. 207.216.6.104 ( talk) 00:02, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
I don't think it makes much sense to use statistics that are outdated as if they're current. It's misleading. For example, the earliest source stating that 3.5 million were infected is November 20, which is 3 weeks ago. Given how rapidly this virus has spread, three weeks ago is outdated information. If people read 3.5 million or 10% as current, they'll be misled into thinking it's spread less than it has. The fact that it's a current issue doesn't mean all the info is current. We wouldn't use present tense for info from April on H1N1, even though H1N1 is a current event. We'd use past tense because the April info is outdated, even though it's about H1N1 and H1N1 is a current event. Likewise, we should use the date and past tense for info from 3 weeks ago, because it's outdated. In the evolution of this virus, the last three weeks is a long time given how rapidly it's been spreading lately. 207.216.6.104 ( talk) 22:21, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
I didn't say it doesn't make sense to use recent statistics. You've ignored my points completely.
I didn't whine on your talk page, and I didn't insult you. I did point out that Wikipedia is meant to be collaborative, which means you should listen to different viewpoints rather than making the article say only what you personally want it to say. 207.216.6.104 ( talk) 00:23, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
I've explained my points already. I think they're valid. I don't imagine that re-stating them would make much difference to your willingness to consider them. 207.216.6.104 ( talk) 01:32, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
