>From my understanding, the OGL-Canada is deemed compatible with OBDL, but the OGL-BC was modified slightly and adds a clause that makes it potentially incompatible. I haven't seen a clear yes/no answer either way unfortunately. I've been looking into this myself recently and I tried to update the wiki at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Canada: British_Columbia:Vancouver but I'm running into some bugs with mediawiki and Captchas not displaying.
Anyway, the OGL for various cities with Open Data in BC seems to be either copied from OGL-CA or OGL-BC. Depending on the source it may or may not be compatible. The idea that the OGL has to be forked and could potentially be different for each jurisdiction is crazy and seems to lead to a lot more work for the data consumers - a single license within Canada would have been much simpler.
