Replacement data sources for Canvec/Osm

I’m starting to think we could produce our own version of CanVec files that wouldn’t suck so bad. At least for the natural features. Fewer splitting issues, connected waterways, properly tagged land features and mountain_ranges, etc. Is that an option? Most of these issues are easily resolved with a bit of up filtering and selective re-tagging, but uploaders just don’t know to do it.
