<div class="PlainText">Ah, good dialog ensues. Municipality by
municipality, in conjunction with BOTH the StatsCan and Bing data, the
right things are getting noticed, the right things are getting
human-realized at what the next steps are to do. It gets better.<br>
<br>
Yay. Stitch it together. One municipality at a time. One province at a
time. Pretty soon, after a few revisions of data and back-and-forths
between municipalities and province-wide data checking, you've got
something. There, you go.<br>

anywhere where the Bing data looks nice? I found burbs in Winnipeg not
bad, but there's some really weird elements when the source
data is too simple (buildings in the middle of fields) or too complex
(urban cores)

there are over 3,000 in Canada so yes ideally each would be treated
separately in reality each municipality doesn't have a group of skilled
OSM mappers who are capable of setting up an import
plan and doing the work although there is nothing to stop them doing
so.<br>
