I agree. A selective import from CANVEC is fine and generally gives good results. As long as you don't import things like forests and buildings (which are both woefully out-of-date, broken, or outright wrong), there usually isn't a problem. However, if someone just imports an entire block of data without inspecting it, that's when we run into the visible issues that the peanut gallery picks apart.

not sure why Canvec always gets shat uppon, their water features are great and pretty accurate, the forest/landcover on the other hand needs fixing before import. I think it's clear enough on the canvec wiki page that only experienced mappers/importers should attempt a canvec import.

Note that currently active import should have a wiki page describing
what exactly is imported and how data is processed - see
