It has the same annoying bug as openstreet in that when I search for places in my town they are all shown as if they are in the town on the other side of the river in the other province ! There does not seem to be any way to submit corrections.
The top 4 results in this screenshot are located in Gatineau.
And Ottawa is in Ontario. It makes it hard to find places when they are listed with the wrong city.
It seems like some local, Canadian problem? I don't really understand what should show this here. Can you show with a map example what search founds and the result you actually want?
Have you contacted the local community about this? The osm Canada forum seems very active: https://community.openstreetmap.org/c/communities/ca/95 You should ask/report about it here.
Other channels of local communities are listed here: https://openstreetmap.community/?map=45.37903%2C-75.97289&zoom=4.78
