I disagree that these need to be added. is_in* seems to be deprecated, and
we have (or should have) robust boundary=administrative data for Canada.

My main complaints about is_in are:
* it's freeform, so you can't reliably create a relation to the parent
entity from the text;
* it's language sensitive, so you could in theory have no end of localized
versions.
