Wishbone: In that case, I sure hope they make that database publically and freely available for everyone.

michaelleung: I hope so too. It only makes sense - given that Canada Post is owned by the government. Even then, it's beyond me why what is essentially a list of postal codes can be something you can hold a monopoly over. How is that part of the public interest?
For that matter, how is it in the interest of Canada Post? If people and companies can't find the post codes, how are they going to send mail?

I still have no idea why Ireland hasn't got any postcodes yet

You don't have any post codes? How on earth does your postal system cope? Sorting letters and packages must be a nightmare!

Well things like the Yellow Pages or directories are technically databases of postcodes, right? My guess is Canada Post haven't thought this through and now they look pretty stupid because just about anyone can poke holes in their logic.

We just have general codes

Like Dublin 2, Dublin 9 for example, it's nothing like the UK system that uses XXX-XXX
