I presume you mean "keep the existing data and don't use the duplicate
data from the file."

Come on now, you aren't really suggesting removing existing boundary
data just to add it back in, are you?  That doesn't sound very
considerate of the previous mappers.

Have you looked at the relative technical merits of the existing
boundary data and the StatsCan data Tyler just converted?  Are they
from the same source, or is one of provably lower quality?

How about starting with a smaller test than a complete province?
Would anyone care to take a look at their neigbourhood and the related
and adjacent boundaries?
