Based on experience I'd go the exact opposite way as Canvec data can be extremely old and inaccurate. Today I removed a Canvec way describing the Blackmud Creek from the database. Dan Charrois had imported the waterway from Canvec, and the imported way overlapped the existing way. Remnants of that can be seen here for a short while. http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=53.4262&lon=-113.4888&zoom=14&layers=M Both renditions can be seen where the creek crosses Ellerslie Road. Hiigher zoom levels have already been rendered. Canvec buildings are horrendous: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=53.42826&lon=-113.49479&zoom=17&layers=M http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=53.4145&lon=-113.54344&zoom=17&layers=M http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=53.43157&lon=-113.54426&zoom=17&layers=M Feet on the ground are the best judge of accuracy.
