[Talk-ca] Unincorporated Communities in Ontario

[Jarek Piórkowski]

Per https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:place, place=hamlet should
work? Unless it's more than ~200 people, then village.

Legal status (like unincorporated community) isn't really a big criterion
in OSM, not the least because they vary so much around the world - that's
why you see functional definitions like "few services" and approximate
population.
