Canada Post also regularly changes Postal Code locations to remain the master of the postal codes and be able to resell their 5000$/year database( https://www.canadapost.ca/cpo/mc/assets/pdf/business/pc_latLong_specs_en.pdf). They have also sued geocoder.ca for collecting user postal codes, which resulted in many years of litigation and they finally gave up (non-win).
