Canvec - the Government of Canada product - isn't static. It's supplied
under an OSM-friendly licence. In its current version, it's supplied in
a (mostly) seamless format. This would avoid the tile issue.

Michael: your metric of upload features per minute is arbitrary and
capricious. These data are the best that the Canadian OSM community had
at the time. Please respect that while we work out if/when/how we can do
something better. Deleting map data for arbitrary reasons is vandalism.
