Spectrum Direct is Industry Canada's database of licensed radio
transmitters/receivers:
<http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/sd-sd.nsf/eng/h_00025.html>. Everything
from tiny cell repeaters through airport surveillance radars to giant
radio masts is listed with operator, call sign, elevation AGL, and
frequency.
Could the data be used in OSM? The pages have Important Notices
attached: <http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/ic1.nsf/eng/h_00065.html>.
I think not without explicit permission from public works. The page you
link to is pretty clear. (though they might give you such permission if
asked)

While the data format is horrid*, and the coordinates are only given to
seconds of arc, it could be useful to add metadata to installations
you've already mapped. That's if the licence would work ...
