[Talk-ca] French street names in Ottawa addr:street:fr

[john whelan]

If I load the city up into JOSM it reports 1,306 entries for addr:street:fr.

It's not a particularly important entry and its rarely used but politically
its important as it is something that only OpenStreetMap and one other
mapping system have the data for and can handle rendering in either English
or French.
