It's coming -- I realize i've lost *all* credibility here, but really :)

Ack... it's time we just solved the postal code/address problem so we
can interlink all these things.

Does someone want to donate a postgres/postgis instance (iles sans fil?)
-- i'll toss the geogratis 2004 electoral boundaries shapefile in, and
build a quick link with geocoder.  We can then offer address/postal
code/coordinates to electoral district conversion.  As we acquire
additional spatial data, we can offer similar services for provincial
jurisdictions as well.

Cheers,
