Pupa Scrapers for Canada in Ruby

The bulk of Pupa scrapers for Canada are written in Python.

The ca scraper in the scrapers-ca repository depends on the ca scraper in this repository.

The ca_qc_montreal scraper in this repository is intended for mamairie.ca. Represent uses the ca_qc_montreal scraper in the scrapers-ca repository, which is dedicated to elected officials' contact information.
