Tyler,
The problem I have with the Statscan data is they have two attributes
in the shapefile:
NAME MacLeod
TYPE AVE
where I want one attribute, and according to OSM best practices, I want
no abbreviations:
MacLeod Avenue
Dunno what the Canvec data will look like...
Best Regards,
Brent Fraser

This way you can just select a road, choose "Copy", go to the Canvec layer, select the matching road, and choose EDIT->PASTE ATTRIBUTES (JOSM) to paste in the name and name:source tags.
