Much as the subject implies, I am wondering if anyone has come across any good
sources of water/hydrology shapefiles for Canada. The Tiger shapefiles for the
US look great, but the parts of Canada in my usual map view look depressingly
dead in comparison without similar data.
On a sidenote, has anyone come up with a good .dbfawk for the Geobase.ca road
shapefiles?

Hi Joe. I use shapefiles for British Columbia from here:
http://www.em.gov.bc.ca/Mining/Geolsurv/Publications/catalog/bcgeolmap.htm
You can't download the hydrology files separately, but each zip file has
separate shapefiles for lakes, rivers, roads (major), railway, etc. You'll want
the Geographic projection maps.
Haven't looked at other provinces. If you find something, let us know.
Regarding the .dbfawk for Geobase.ca roads, I do have one, but I wouldn't call
it good. Just displays roads in grey and 4 lane highways in wide red.
