@JamiesonRoberts Have you had much time to work on this? Any luck with it?

I've been a bit obsessed thinking about simple solutions for postal code lookups (for this issue and especially #92) since I delivered the auto-emailer stuff last weekend. I had another look around for other possible sources of data and, I think Wikipedia is our best bet for mapping FSAs to placenames. So, on Monday evening, I wrote a bit of code to scrape the Wikipedia articles, and now I have a nice JSON of 1,663 FSAs for all of Canada.

If you're happy with this approach, I could set about getting them into the database so that we can get placenames with a simple join in our story query.
