Are you talking about the older CANVEC data or the data that Stats has
released which is really municipal data?
Thanks John

Someone has compared Bing and Canvec data in rural areas?

Ah, good dialog ensues. Municipality by municipality, in conjunction
with BOTH the StatsCan and Bing data, the right things are getting
noticed, the right things are getting human-realized at what the next
steps are to do. It gets better.
Yay. Stitch it together. One municipality at a time. One province
at a time. Pretty soon, after a few revisions of data and
back-and-forths between municipalities and province-wide data
checking, you've got something. There, you go.

thanks to the umbrella license @ Stats Canada. We're a big country
with very few, but very skilled OSM mappers (IE gecho111 mapped all of
regina's building footprints! ).

anywhere where the Bing data looks nice? I found burbs in Winnipeg not
bad, but there's some really weird elements when the source data is
too simple (buildings in the middle of fields) or too complex (urban
cores)

separately in reality each municipality doesn't have a group of
skilled OSM mappers who are capable of setting up an import plan and
doing the work although there is nothing to stop them doing so.
