[Talk-ca] Building import in BC and Quebec

[Jarek Piórkowski]

The changeset comment messages link to the Stats Canada import plan on
the OSM wiki.

I missed it but there were also some edits in Alberta. Quebec edits I
saw were only a couple, outside of Quebec.

http://tasks.osmcanada.ca/project/148 has also been updated, and the
Alberta tasks.

It does raise the point that with a country this large, with editor
community this sparse, there are very few ways to enforce or police a
countrywide consensus, or even arrive at one. Maybe BC mappers like
the import, square angles or no? (Does anyone go to the Metrotown
Meetup?)

I haven't seen any import plan for the Microsoft stuff but unfortunately it's probably fairly easy to import on the Stats Can side my feeling is we need to work out who the locals are to get buy in since Canada wide there is no consensus on what is acceptable.  After a request from a local group then I think that particular area can proceed.
