No one has proposed an import of OGL-CA licenced data, so there 
shouldn't be any in OSM. If someone wanted to import that data, it'd 
have to be discussed with the community, and the license would be part 
of it.

The various different Canadian adaptations of the OGL are not the same 
as the OGL, which was written in the UK and is explicitly compatible 
with CC BY and the ODbL. Some of the Canadian versions do not even 
qualify as open licenses.
