[Talk-ca] What Google Copying?

So I found a subdivision which most certainly does not exist, and may well
never exist in Google
here<http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=8+Neptune+Bay&sll=49.918003,-97.039597&sspn=0.009243,0.01929&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=8+Neptune+Bay,+Winnipeg,+Division+No.+11,+Manitoba&ll=49.847205,-97.168794&spn=0.004628,0.009645&t=h&z=17>.
The streets are not on Yahoo, Bing, OSM or NRN. The land the streets occupy
is owned by Manitoba Hydro and has to high voltage lines that pass through
it towards the Taylor and Scotland Yard Stations and Downtown Winnipeg
 (OSM<http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=49.85185&lon=-97.1602&zoom=15&layers=B000FTF>)
and while development is planned nearby, I believe this land is off limits
for obvious reasons. This would suggest to me that vreimer either lives in
Winnipeg and knows Google is wrong, or doesn't get data from Google (which
previous posts also suggested).
