Well, the data I was importing would be a one-time import; it's building
outlines from the MLI data.
They also have political boundaries for towns/cities in MB.

I will have to do that then.  I have already imported some data from the
MB lands building outlines data, and also the MB city/town boundaries.  So
that's probably enough sample data to look at.

I hadn't noticed that clause in there.  Hmm

Build outlines, Cadastral data, landuse, low res out of date satellite
data, town plans (good for naming), and boundaries of cities/towns.

The outlines and boundaries are of interest to me at the moment.
