[Talk-ca] Nunavut has a very pour data coverage. Why not Integrate BNDT/CanVec dataset from Department of Natural Resources Canada?

What could be good is 

1. the physical layer infos + roads.
2. Complete the detail in villages with gps

The CanVec data comes in layers, so it is definitely possible to import only particular sections of the data, such as the roads.
CanVec makes a good base to work off of. One of the seasoned importers can do the work and us regular users can adjust it for the underlying satellite data. I'd help with that part myself - always willing to lend a hand.

Would it be possible to only import the tundra parts? There are no wood areas. Or just Ellesmere island? There are just lakes and tundra.

Imported data needs to be treated with kid gloves as it is easy to end up with faulty information. Wood areas tend to come in in a very haphazard way, for example.
