[Talk-ca] Nanaimo street address data

[Kevin Farrugia]

Hey David,

I'm on my phone so it's a bit hard to check what cities are included in the
BC data, but check out the StatsCan LODE address dataset. They aggregate
and standardize data from local and provincial open data sites and their
license is approved for OSM.
