[Talk-ca] Edmonton / Strathcona boundary limits

[Pierre Béland]

This is not a semantic question about if Edmonton is a county of a city. This is more a technical matter related to OSM database design and sql tools. It is not well documented in the wiki.

Discussions on the talk_fr list indicate that we have to duplicate polygons for each level for entities such as Edmonton .

 If you want to dig more about that and nobody can answer these questions on the talk-ca list, I suggest that you try on talk list.
