   I posted sample postal codes of that type as comments to

http://www.digital-copyright.ca/node/1607

   They are quite useful for testing any lookup tool, given you need to 
handle getting a results of from 0 EDID's (IE: invalid postal code, or 
old database) up to 6.

   The two that return 2 postal codes that return 6 are both in the 
comments.


Please: If you are scraping and infringing, don't do it silently as that 
can only harm us in the long term.  Do it a publicly as you can as a 
form of civil disobedience and tell your candidates as well as the party 
leaders and past ministers/critics that you are doing it, and why you 
believe this database must be legally liberated!
