[Talk-ca] Provincial Borders

[Sam Vekemans]

Hi,

Its not that the polygon for the land island is wrong, its just that
the GeoBase NHN -HD_ISLAND_2.osm as well as the canvec VE_1240009_2
wooded area shows more detail.

I have it listed as bug6&7 on the wiki.

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Canvec2osm#Bug6:_CanVec_Hydrographic_Obstacle_entity_vs._coastline

I'll post a screen shot of what i'm talking about and have it
available on the wiki also.  (A picture is worth an essay or 2 :-)

Cheers,
Sam
