I've tried importing some data, but I'm just not experienced enough to 
know what to do with all the different errors that the CanVec data 
contains, especially when I try and do something outside of the north.
Does anyone here have experience importing canvec? The error I get most 
often that I don't know how to solve is when there are duplicate ways 
with different tags (e.g. natural=wood and natural=wetland).
