I do not see either the open-government-license-canada or the TB open 
data license, or a Canadian "municipal data license 2.0" listed at 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/ODbL_Compatibility

My understanding is that the "City of Ottawa Open Data License 2.0" received 
special approval from the LWG. 
(https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Canada:Ontario:Ottawa/Import/Plan#Licence)

It is also my understanding that substituting "City of Ottawa" with "Region 
of Durham" would still require the LWG to approve the Durham license.

It is my understanding that the act of substitution is enough of a change to 
require the LWG to need to look at it.

I don't see open-government-licence-canada listed as a compatible 
generic license on the wiki page.

If anyone is aware of something written from the LWG that says otherwise 
please post a link.
