#' Canadian Map at Economic Region (ER) Level
#' @description This function aggregates the Census Divisions (CD) map
#' to provide the Economic Region (ER) map. The idea is to avoid providing
#' a dataset with map that can be obtained as an aggregation of another.
#' @param map which map to add, by default it takes the complete Census
#' Divisions (CD) map
#' @importFrom rmapshaper ms_dissolve
#' @importFrom sf st_as_sf
#' @importFrom dplyr as_tibble filter select left_join bind_rows distinct
#' @importFrom rlang sym syms
#' @return a tibble with economic regions, provinces and geometry
#' (multipolygon) fields.
