To begin with I am relatively new to OSM but I am trying to figure the Canadian definition for trunk status and find the current definition as described on <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Canadian_tagging_guidelines#Trunk" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Canadian_tagging_guidelines#Trunk</a> as academic and not functional. And please forgive me if I covering previously discussed material. Also, my context might from British Columbia focus as well.<br>
<br>
This conversation comes up from a discussion I have had with another OSM contributor, so I'm posting below my response to the definition as found at <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Canadian_tagging_guidelines#Trunk" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Canadian_tagging_guidelines#Trunk</a><br>

<br>
At least within the lower mainland and Fraser valley, the NHS is not used for tagging. My preferred examples of this are the new Highway 17, which didn't exist when the document was compiled, and some of the relatively small roads linking highways to ports.<br>
