Canada Post is a Crown Corporation so it kind of operates in its own world even though it's subsidised and owned by the government. I don't think the open government directive applied across all Crown ABCs but to the civil service portion.
We're not doing an import of post offices in the actual sense so it may be okay. I think this is also a little different since Canada Post doesn't make money selling the location of their offices like they do postal codes so chances are they wouldn't target this as an issue. ------- Kevin On Tue., Jun. 16, 2020, 10:18 a.m. john whelan, <jwhelan0...@gmail.com> wrote: > I think you can use it to see where to look. > > If there is only one building and you can see a Canada Post logo > floating around I think it is fair game. > > Canada Post is part of federal government so there is some sort of > commitment to Open Data floating around under the Federal government's open > data initiative. > > Cheerio John > > On Tue, Jun 16, 2020, 09:10 Justin Tracey <j3tra...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Is it legal to import that data from the Canada Post site? >> >> - Justin >> >> On Tue, Jun 16, 2020 at 8:04 AM David Nelson via Talk-ca < >> talk-ca@openstreetmap.org> wrote: >> >>> I have just finished assessing which post offices in Canada among those >>> we have not yet added to OSM are franchises, and which of those franchise >>> outlets' parent businesses already appear in our database.
