Tyler,
The problem I have with the Statscan data is they have two attributes
in the shapefile:
NAME MacLeod
TYPE AVE
where I want one attribute, and according to OSM best practices, I want
no abbreviations:
MacLeod Avenue
Dunno what the Canvec data will look like...
Best Regards,
Brent Fraser

Hmmm. Maybe I'll hold off on importing any more Canvec roads until Edition 8
(due in April?). Are there any other major changes in Ed. 8? If not, I may
continue to upload non-road features from Ed 7...

If you are looking to import any SK stuff, I have the Statscan road network data converted
to OSM format. It's set up so that each road is a way with only the name=XYZ,
name:source=StatsCan tags. This way you can just select a road, choose "Copy", go
to the Canvec layer, select the matching road, and choose EDIT->PASTE ATTRIBUTES (JOSM)
to paste in the name and name:source tags.
