In a previous post, I explained how we can use regular expressions or "regex" in R to parse our text data. Turns out there is a very useful R library for crafting regular expressions, especially in the early stages of learning the notation.

Recently I learned about an incredible initiative launched by a team of political scientists, computer scientists, and historians at my university called The Canadian Hansard Dataset. The data set is a massive, digital collection of English-language debates in the House of Commons from 1901 to today (all French speeches have been translated to English).
