[Talk-ca] Flood in NB

[Sam Vekemans]

It's because someone thought they would be 'helpful' and broke the Atlantic
coastline... :-)

Remember that anytime you see a coastline that is part of the mainland...
that coastline actually follows the entire North American contenent..   So
the renderer needs to go through the entire area and render each area
again.  So it'll be fixed in a few weeks or so as there is more activity in
the region.


It's much better to just add nodes and merge nodes with whatever feature is
next to the coastline than to cut it.

For that area of Richibucto, i'd go for using waterway=riverbank and
stopping the coastline at that bridge at Rexton.  (Since it's really
freshwater flowing into the ocean.   But it'll need some further
examination.  (it's on my route, so i'll pick it up ... if knowone else
beets me to it :-)

We will be seing LOTS of this happen more often once the canvec data becomes
available.

Cheers,
Sam
