[Talk-ca] Canada Building imports wiki page

[Nate Wessel]

John,

I mentioned several times in the various email threads that I planned to 
make substantial changes to the wiki. If you think something I added is 
a value judgment, I encourage you to point it out, on the wiki itself 
ideally. I think I've mostly been restructuring the page (without 
deleting much) and adding content on data quality.

Best,
