@Daniel:
I finally got around to add a few more issues to the page mentioned by
Adam last week. I'm not sure if you or anyone else also encountered
them, but here they are:
* Some roads are tagged as "highway=unclasified" (with one 's').
These are mostly linking roads, and usually have the name "Voie"
(in Quebec)
* Most, if not all, road names (in highways and address nodes) have
multiple consecutive spaces.
* Some buildings are tagged as "highway=services" (with an 's' in
the end), usually service stations near motorways.
* (and another thing: the JOSM validator is complaning that many
water areas should be reversed)
Another thing I'm missing is names on large rivers, which are added as
natural=water (multi)polygons. Is there a way to get those names, or
perhaps would it be possible to generate centerlines (which can be
tagged with waterway=river; name=*)? I've attempted to draw a few
centerlines myself, but it's very time-consuming.
I also wonder if there is any sight on an improved release of the Canvec
OSM product, which has improved many of the known issues of the current
release. I'm also still thinking about how to deal with road names, and
Canvec vs. Geobase roads in general in Quebec. It's not clear how to
proceed with that, especially since the "boots on the ground" option is
nearly impossible.
Other than that I'm still very glad with the offerings given by the NRCan :)

Indeed. In fact, this issue has already been listed on the wiki page:

I've been importing in south central BC and have noticed that there is a
consistent duplication of railway = rail ways in the CanVec data. No big
deal as if I forget, it is caught by the validator, but there must be a
glitch somewhere in converting to OSM?
Thanks
