Canada Post can be ignored, luckily, when it comes to municipal boundaries. statscan's municipal boundaries are handy because it's country-wide and we have a license agreement with them.
I don't think the boundaries with be an import in the true sense, more of a guide that allows us to more easily create the boundaries. In Ontario anyways boundaries usually follow roads and rivers so it's a case of adding these to a boundary relation with the assistance of StatsCan data.
