Essentially OSM is not well set up to handle these sort of issues. Normally interpretations are base on custom and practice.
The wording is slightly different between the two licences. OSM decision making for local matters is normally left to local mappers. So the decision to allow the import is an Ottawa mapper decision but whether the licenses are compatible is not. There is and has been minor imports of Open Data in Ottawa for some time. The bus stops for example. So custom and practice say if the bus stop import was permitted then data from the same source under the same licence should also be permitted. It's a little like dealing with the native people of Canada. There are 500,000 of them with 500,000 different opinions. Trying to reach an agreement is very difficult. Realistically imports happen in OSM everyday. They aren't always announced in talk-ca first.
