The following 2 are not changed, as per my previous comment that I
will not update the name if it does not exist in NRCan without further
review here.
1) 3 City of Vaughan (Maple)
Probably "Maple" should in the addr:suburb field instead?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maple,_Ontario
2) 6165 City of Prince Edward County
There is a "Prince Edward" as a City in Ontario not "Prince Edward
County" as a city. Need to drop the word "County"
