could be many things: 1. CanVec import without corrections to todays standards 2. Old CanVec version1 imports(was pretty bad) 3.

What you are seeing is a side effect of badly/blindly importing data and possibly without a proper discussion. OSM already had https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/28420555 The user who did import the overlapping data should have seen this. The user needs to be contacted, as it seems that he is still importing data. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
[OSM-talk] Multiple errors in the same location
When multiple errors appear in the same location the question is what to do? The simplest option is, nothing. Wait until a mapper is correcting all the related errors. Most of the detectors, inspectors, renderers, data preparation tools… select this option today. Consequently, all publicly available maps repeat the same errors what is, of course, wrong. Let us take an illustrative example here https://osm.org/go/cCcWZjGW . A careful analyses shows that there are several serious errors in this location. Let us mention some. 1.There are two radically different partly overlapping lakes in the location. 2.None of the lakes are close to fit into the hole in the forest area. 3.The forest and any of the lakes overlap considerably. 4.The island in one of the lakes is just partly invisible (overwritten by the other lake). 5.The obsolete natural=land tag is used for several node objects in the lakes. 6.The place=islet tag is used for several nodes without the name tag and value (so, meaningless). If there were just a few cases like described one could contact the corresponding mappers or just make a note description on the location. Unfortunately the number of cases like the illustrated is so large that neither of the mentioned source data correction models is feasible. Yet, it is worth to mention that some data preparation chains perfectly resolves this complex error issue in their GIS or map-making systems.

[OSM-talk] OSMF Membership Fee Waivers for Financial Hardship
If the membership fee for OSMF is a financial burden, the OSMF Board will review any requests for a fee waiver from potential members. This is a temporary measure, while a full process is implemented (if you are interested to help, please let us know!) Below are details on the decision, how we'll handle applications from yesterday, and how to apply. To apply: email bo...@osmfoundation.org, with your first and last name, country of residence, OSM id. Also please state that you are applying for fee waiver because of financial hardship, and give a short account of your activities in OpenStreetMap. On the decision: At the 2014 Annual General Meeting [1], it was decided > The membership fee for associate membership, which normally is tied to the >regular membership fee, may be waived if paying the fee would constitute an >unreasonable burden to the member, either because of financial hardship or >because of the lack of a suitable money transfer facility. Implementation was delegated to the Membership Working Group. Yesterday, they announced the full process for waiver because of lack of suitable money transfer [2]. At yesterday's Board meeting, we resolved to review fee waiver requests for financial hardship. [3] > The membership fee waiver program has not been implemented yet. However, >today (2018-11-15) there was a flurry of emails sent to the board and the >Membership Working Group from people asking to join the Foundation and the fee >to be waived. The board will review the requests and individually decide on >the waiver. If approved, the membership join date will be the date of the >approval. The starting date of membership will be recorded on the day they are processed. That means that applicants from yesterday will not be members in time to participate in this year's AGM. There was a request to delay the AGM to accommodate more sign ups through this process; however the AGM time and date had already been announced.
