[Talk-ca] Initial Test Areas to Import GeoBase

When we want to try testing an import from GeoBase why not look to doing
so within one of the Territories.  A quick look at the map shows nothing
in these areas and so there is no conflict resolution required and, as a
bonus, we get an area completed that is currently unmapped.  An
additional benefit is that the data for there areas is likely to be
fairly small, especially for roads, and we can have communities named
within the area.

If we start with the Geopolitical boundaries and then use one, or even
all of the Territories for the initial tests for any uploading scripts
we can at least be assured that the data is going in correctly.  We are
not going to be able to test any conflict resolution with current data
since there is none, although the scripts could be checking it without
finding anything.  And that would also solve the problem that the data
coming from GeoBase is by province or Territory and so an entire data
set can be imported in one instance.
