[Talk-ca] [Import] Local community approval building & addresses in Peel region

[James]

Also to follow up on the *"**ensure that Your Use of the Information does
not breach or infringe upon any applicable laws" *I think it can also
applied in the sense: Canada has banned displaying public addresses on
websites/to be viewed from the public(I know this is not the case, but this
is an example) so you wouldn't be able to use it in OSM as it can be
displayed to the public.

A more realistic case would be must not list military zones/addresses, but
there's no law against it in Canada. This isn't North Korea.
