[Talk-ca] CanVec import troubles

[Samuel]

Hi Everyone

So I had some computer trouble for a few days, limiting my access to 
email. Firstly thanks to everyone for tolerating questions from someone 
who until recently knew almost nothing about GIS. I have a few more 
questions that I hope should clear everything up.

Firstly, in response to what Daniel was saying, I took a closer look at 
that trail, It appears it is actually a winter road. But since the lake 
coastline data is a real lake, why would I delete it, would the CanVec 
data replace it? Also why is only one of the sub tiles forested on the map?

Also Tyler, where are you getting the find building data from MLI? I 
couldn't find it on their website, unless your tracing it from their 
Ariel imagery.
