{cancensus} does not read complex geometries like Nunavut any more. It throws an error

GDAL Error 1: geoJSON object too complex

My hunch is that the {sf} package recently switched out their geoJSON driver to rely on GDAL, which has a fairly low memory limit (unless explicitly compiled with higher memory limit).

One way around this is to use a different geoJSON driver. For example, geojsonsf::geojson_sf is very fast and has no problem reading in large geojson.
