Well,

These are the major lists I've done to date

Ottawa
Toronto
Gatineau
Hull
Montreal
Halifax
Vancouver

As we move further away from metro areas there are less and less road
used.... PEI, NS, NB are great examples where few road are used

Perhaps, being greedy, I'll continue working on Ontario might make
sense.

Any word on that Stats Can data?

Cheers to Walter's work. I send my positive vibes.


Cheers

Hi David,

We are still barking up the right tree. We are waiting on Walter to
create the "Canada Post to StatsCan" converter. I haven't heard from him
since I sent him the email I CCed to you. Although, that is not
uncommon. I have often sent an email like that one, and a week to ten
days later get a response complete with a tarball of the revised
program.

What makes sense to do next depends on the order we want to release the
data. Probably the two most natural ways of doing this is based on
provinces (either sorted by population, or by horizontal direction such
as East to West), or by metropolitan area size (Toronto followed by
Montreal followed by Vancouver). Which of these options makes most sense
to you?
