J'ai fait recherche  «Toronto, On» Cela fonctionne. Peut-etre a cause de «state_code=ON»

 So you're suggesting adding short_name='ON' to ones that have addr:province=Ontario

How would that work?

addr:province=Ontario
addr:province:short_name=ON ?

Merci John

John, on doit essayer d'être plus intuitif et permettre les deux façons de rechercher. Cela peut se faire simplement en ajoutant dans la relation province d'Ontario, short_name='ON'. 
Pour revenir aux suggestions de Matthew, de façon à impliquer / motiver les communautés locales, ce serait d'offrir les outils et listes d'objets à corriger un peu comme le fait Osmose et autres outils de QA.

 For Ontario I would suggest following the post office guidelines for province and using ON rather than a mixture of ON and Ontario.  That way it makes it easier to find an address since you just need to search for ON.  Currently you would need to search for both variations.

So I've tidied up the addr:province/state tags, now using only addr:province, leaving anything that would be generally considered "correct" either spelt out in full or using English provincial abbreviation as you might use in a mailing address. Also left "Quebec" (no accent).
I would rather like to clean this up further, however, I have stopped just at tidying up things that were mis-spelt or had inconsistent case.

Is there any view on where to go next?
