The data they had was pretty skanky so I doubt that it will take long with their new 30 day correction capability to catch up and pass what they had. But time will tell.

I do hope that in the end it all works out to everyones advantage but you just never know with Google which direction they are going to take.

It will be interesting to see if google replaces the bad data in Canada before Europe where they have been doing Streetview longer @Ben

TeleAtlas' data is just terrible. I can deal with problems with little errors here and there, but I've seen them with maps of entire cities with every road classified as a local road and no arterials! Unfortunately all the data in Canada is currently by TeleAtlas and not Google, but hopefully this will change soon allowing for major roads to return to downtown Ottawa and Montreal.
