<br>
I already have a mirror of the Canvec data, I will make public
if/when government data disappear.<br>
<br>
However, feel free to make some other backups, just in case.<br>

since we do not have received any response/insurance from

have a backup location, just in case the official ftp site
stops to provide data. I would be very sad if the data

<br>
Given Daniel's reply
that Canvec will no longer
be supplied in OSM<br>
format, I'm curious about:<br>
<br>
1: I don't know what I
don't know to begin with :-)<br>
2: Are the scripts /
programs available to do the
conversion still<br>
available?<br>
3: Was there ever a
program written to produce a
"diffs" file?<br>
4: Is there a desire to
have newer Canvec data
converted to OSM?<br>
<br>
Just throwing this
out there.<br>
