I agree with Olivier, It certainly needs more effort but the result is there. Blind import never helps. It just mess-up with others work.
Blind Canvec import could have been done by NRCan, messing-up all the work done by each OSM contributor. It doesn't help the project to have the impression that our work is not respected because a bunch of data is dump over what we have already map...

I have recently seen tiles uploaded blindly, duplicating nodes and duplicating features that were already imported (like wooded areas, lakes, rivers, etc.) I know it is tempting to see more data on OSM, but dirty data has no value. Uploading tiles in batch is not crowd sourcing either as it can be easily done with software. Personally, I prefer less data but with better quality than having to validate everything that has been imported again and again. This can of course be discussed here, others might have different opinions. Now, private messages have been sent to specific authors. If no answers provided, we will have to make the choice to revert the changesets or not. Thank you for your understanding (and inputs).
