That's incredible, 5 districts at the same time ! If you seach this postal code in Google and Election Canada, you'll see that the corresponding point is just between Hochelaga and Saint-Leonard districts. But it's really far from the others. A complete postal code in a city like Montreal can't have a size greater than hunder meters (I know many people on my streets, even those that are close don't have the same postal code.  I can't see how it's possible.
