I can't look now but if you search the web for

Canadian postal code centroid

and then use function GEODIST() on that data

I expect you'll get the outcome you seek.

They are called Postal Codes in Canada. Get them as a CSV from :

and then use function geodist() on the lat-longs to estimate the strait-line distances.
