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

Ivolino:

	I'm currently importing canvec data. Is there a specific area that you

years at least :-) Mind you I haven't looked at the data. Even Ellesmere
island I would expect probably about a year.
