Just looking at the data for some random areas, it looks like the quality
is comparable to hand-drawn buildings (but not as good as most municipal
data).  There are some weirdly rotated and sized buildings, as well as some
missing buildings, there may be other problems in areas I haven't examined.
A few comments:
- The StatsCan data is of better quality, it should be used instead of the
Microsoft data when possible.
- Existing hand-drawn/imported buildings should not be replaced by the
Microsoft data (except for CanVec buildings, maybe).
- In any import, the bigger provinces should be split into smaller areas
(counties or regions)
