You've probably seen my name come up quite often in the Kamloops area, so I will introduce myself a bit. I did the NRN import (government roads) for Kamloops, but I live in Chilliwack. It took a great deal of time (about a week, I believe) to merge the NRN data with the data that was already existing in the area. I don't personally mind if you import a legally cleared source for the area, and will try to answer any questions you have about what I had imported. I believe Samuel Longiaru lives near Kamloops, so you should definitely hear his opinion before going too far.
I've taken a look at some of the data you've imported, and my comment so far would be to clean up the tags. You have tags that aren't used in OSM, as well as tags that have all capital letters. If you could convert the tags to match the OSM standards, that would be great. Also delete tags that OSM doesn't want or need (like Shape_Area= and Shape_Leng=, etc) See http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Features for an incomplete-but-most-of-what-you-need listing of key value tags.
