<div class="PlainText">Ah, good dialog ensues. Municipality by municipality, in conjunction with BOTH the StatsCan and Bing data, the right things are getting noticed, the right things are getting human-realized at what the next steps are to do. It gets better.<br>

Yay. Stitch it together. One municipality at a time. One province at a time. Pretty soon, after a few revisions of data and back-and-forths between municipalities and province-wide data checking, you've got something. There, you go.<br>
