[Talk-ca] Open Data for Airdrie AB

[john whelan]

I'd check to see if it is included in the Stats Canada data first.  If not
then the buildings will be available in the Microsoft data which is
correctly licensed.

The open data licenses are a mine field.

Stats is looking a releasing more municipal Open Data under the Federal
Government license.
