[Talk-ca] Cleanup of addr:country, addr:province, addr:state

So I've tidied up the addr:province/state tags, now using only 
addr:province, leaving anything that would be generally considered 
"correct" either spelt out in full or using English provincial 
abbreviation as you might use in a mailing address. Also left "Quebec" 
(no accent).
I would rather like to clean this up further, however, I have stopped 
just at tidying up things that were mis-spelt or had inconsistent case.

Is there any view on where to go next?
