EDIT: Also do you have any tips on how best to acquire the info? I forget how I got mine, but I'm guessing I just used misc. sources. Some sources maybe better than others though.
Myself I'm using Wikipedia as a primary source, due to it's ease of use. If it doesn't exist there (and tis' rare that it doesn't), Iv'e found that stats Canada is a good fallback. It's mostly population data that I'm running into issue with when I did run into issues. The co-ordinates are pretty spot on and if wiki doesn't' have them, Google maps usually will.

EDIT: For those that get any cities in Ontario (and to a lesser extent Quebec), these sources, especially wikipedia, wont' work as well. Thank the 90's governments for mass amalgamation for making our jobs a bit more difficult.
