[Talk-ca] New project update

[john whelan]

Since you're looking to combine data from different sources I assume you
know about the TB standards for addresses?  I think they're mentioned
here:  http://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/pol/doc-eng.aspx?id=16553

I'm not sure how those standards would map to OSM and if all the elements
are there.

Apols to the ca-talk this is probably more open data than anything else.
