Tweet IDs for tweets containing hashtags related to Canada at the 2016 Rio Olympics and Paralympics, held Aug. 5-21 and Sept. 7-18 respectively. These were captured as part of a larger web archiving project focused on Canada's involvement in the Rio Games. Tweet IDs can be hydrated using Ed Summers' twarc (https://github.com/edsu/twarc). Hydrating will recreate the original tweet(s) in json format, provided the content is still available on Twitter. /
