I can't speak for the other maps but the Thunder Bay one is hilariously inaccurate, and makes the urban sprawl problem look even worse than it already is.

I'm seeing similar idiosyncrasies in the Saint John data - most notably the entirety of Rockwood Park (mostly wilderness) showing as built up in the 1990s. I applaud the mapping effort but there are definitely some issues with the land cover classification they used.
