[Talk-ca] Ottawa import: deleting existing content

It seems that some of the import users didn't get the “Don't delete
stuff” memo. User carpbunker is deleting address interpolation ways
(example: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/47333119) and existing
buildings (example: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/47337186).
Please stop doing that. You need to work around existing contributions.

I'd left changeset comments, but they had not been responded to until I
threatened to talk this to talk-ca.

The user claims to be deleting "bad address imports", but didn't discuss
how those previous contributions were bad here before unilaterally
deciding to delete nodes. Their import-only account is now a mess of
imports and deletions and will be hard to unpick.
