Hi So data for morris has been imported (Thank you John), but looking at the data in JOSM show hundreds of blank nodes in town. Do these serve a purpose? Also I noticed that some data is being imported from the Manitoba Lands initiative. I noticed that they have maps of many small towns and

hi, The Manitoba Data is a live dataset that is continiously being updated, just like canvec, so it isn't a one-time import. You might also want to message legal talk and the imports list about it. Also, the imports page requests to make samples available for review. (knowone really knows what
