[Talk-ca] More CanVec import problems

[Samuel]

This is odd, I thought I checked for that, when I opened that same file 
in JOSM it did some up as part of a relation. Oh well, whatever. I have 
no free time for a while and a Russian novel to finish for a course, but 
I'll eventually get to uploading it.

Thanks

Sam
