No longer able to copy-paste historical data
With the Classic Yahoo Finance Canada it was possible to do CTRL-A to select all of the historical data in the clipboard with CTRL-C the Visual Studio tool I have would calculate Volume weighted averages for 20, 50 and 200 days and time weighted averages. It's no longer possible to do this because the it's no longer possible to copy that table. This also breaks a functionality I had to get an idea of the momentum of the stock by calculating the average between top and bottom price of each day, assigning a positive or negative score based on if it was up or down and giving a greater weight to the more recent days as opposed to the less recent days. I can't do this anymore because the table can't be copied. This version really sucks. One of the reasons that people use Yahoo Finance Canada is because the layout doesn't change very often. When people change the look to "modernize it" they break the tools that the existing user base has built around the website based on how the layout is presented as it was for the past 30 years.

I agree with Jacques. Please do something to Historical Price data so that these data are not read only format.
