I as of last night, I have 10 servers listed. Is that enough?
Don't worry about setting "too many". ntpd does a selection, weeds the bad ones, and if still too many, discards a few.

Well, your own daemon is in "init" status. In <http://rimuhosting.com/howto/ntp.jsp> there is an explanation of that, although not related to "localhost" (incomplete connection?). This may be because you are listing "localhost" as a server in ntp.conf. However, you have one remote server, via IPv6 marked with *, and it is stratum 1. See that "time.nrc.ca" is rejected.
