Living in a land locked province, I never really though about having ways coincide with the provincial border, but really, should we not be looking for matches between coastlines, and the GeoBase provincial boundary? > However, I noticed that existing admin boundaries at US border is > great either.

The 49th parallel is the southern boundary of the western provinces for quite a distance, and you can find multiple administrative boundaries all over the place. http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=49.0045&lon=-111.2617&zoom=13&layers=0B00FTF > So, I think it is worthwhile to bring Geobase boundaries in osm. > It will provide a full canadian coverage, something to work from. Yes, indeed, which is what I was getting at... The GeoBase administrative boundaries along the coastline will probably provide better coastline definition than what is available in the OSM database currently. Once they get imported again, we'll have to compare.
