[Talk-ca] I'd like to run something to add a French street name tagin Ottawa

[john whelan]

I've just had a look at the Gatineau side at the street names.  Looks like
most have been entered Rue rather than rue etc.  The ones I looked at where
entered via potlatch, but that can wait for another day.
