- There seems to be a strong consensus that what elsewhere would be
highway=unclassified is highway=residential, no matter if the road is in a
populated area or not.

* Are there any known big (national) issues in the Canadian OSM data?

I believe these mostly affect Quebec, but there are two import problems
that never got systematically fixed, as far as I know:
- CanVec import of highways where lanes=-1 and surface=unpaved.
- CanVec or Geobase import where there is an extra blank between the street
type designation and the name. E.g. Rue__Sherbrooke instead of
Rue_Sherbrooke.
