[Talk-ca] broken forests in eastern Canada

You are right about Canadian government open data; I was referring at the Canvec data in OSM format most of us used.

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.
